This is a subtle mash up of “when in Rome” (adapt yourself to the behavior of others or places around you) and “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” (details of a weekend spent away from home not revealed).  Thanks to Anna Washabaugh for sending in this one.

A terrific mash-up of “Rome wasn’t built in a day” (involved projects take time) and “Nero fiddled while Rome burned”.   The book, “Is Paris Burning?” also could have been on the speaker’s mind, as well as “don’t burn your bridges”.
