Why we collected this quote
We chose this because it’s a hilarious, “adult” joke hidden in a kids’ show. It perfectly fits Hermes as the god of travelers and mischief.
What does this quote mean? (Meaning & Context)
Percy references the famous slogan “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” Hermes laughs and corrects him, implying that many of his children were conceived during wild trips to Las Vegas. It’s a funny nod to his chaotic lifestyle.
Book vs TV Series
This is a brilliant modernization! As the god of travelers and mischief, Hermes has always been busy. This show original links his frequent parentage directly to activities in Las Vegas in a joke that feels very contemporary. It perfectly fits his character and gives a fun, modern explanation for why his cabin is always so full.
