A Vegas Trip, A Child, and a Friendship on the Line: Who’s in the Right? ♂️
A group of college friends find themselves in a tough spot after their Vegas trip turned into a family-friendly adventure. While they love their buddy’s daughter, they yearn for the freedom to enjoy the ‘adult stuff’ that Vegas is known for.

Now, they’re left wondering – were they wrong to exclude the child from their plans?
