(CBS/AP) You've seen the TV ads: "What happens in Vegas ... stays in Vegas." Believe that and we have a bridge you might be interested in buying.

Just ask Prince Harry. His friendly little game of strip billiards in the royal's luxury Las Vegas hotel suite didn't stay a secret for long. Within hours, it made headlines around the globe - with photos of a naked prince to go along with it.

Pictures: What doesn't stay in Vegas

But Prince Harry is not alone. Everyone is fair game, especially when cameras are standard equipment on smartphones and Facebook is just a click away.

Here are a few others whose misadventures didn't stay in Vegas:

Bruno Mars: After a September 2010 concert at the Hard Rock's Wasted Space nightclub, a bathroom attendant noticed Bruno Mars was taking a long time in a stall accompanied by a little bag of white powder. A security guard confronted him as he left, and Mars ended up getting probation and community service for a cocaine charge, all as his song "Just the Way You Are" climbed the Billboard charts.

Paris Hilton : In 2010, a police officer stopped the car Paris Hilton was riding in after noticing a "vapor trail" of marijuana smoke wafting from the windows. Once inside the Wynn resort on the Strip, Hilton reached in her Chanel purse for lip balm but ended up dropping a small bag of cocaine right in front of the officer. She told authorities it wasn't hers and she thought it was gum. She eventually pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to one year of probation.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.: Boxer Floyd Maywether Jr. is finding it hard to train on the world -class level while locked up at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas. He's in the middle of a three-month sentence for beating his baby mama in front of their kids last year. A request that he be given house arrest instead was denied by the judge.
