[edit] Plot

Turtle sets up a $100,000 gig in Las Vegas, and the rest of the gang plus Ari heads to Vegas. Drama is excited about seeing his favorite masseuse again. Once there, Ari and Vince make a deal to split the costs and winnings. As Drama goes to see his favorite masseuse, Ken, Ari and E discover that the gig is actually judging a stripper contest. E goes to tell Vince to give the money back and leave, but Vince has already gambled most of the money away. Ari is despondent but Vince encourages him that everything will be fine. Seth Green makes a cryptic comment about Sloan to E, which angers him.

Ken is surprised when Drama gives him a gift and has booked him for the whole day. Meanwhile, E is worried about Seth's comment about Sloan, and asks her about it. Sloan reassures E that they were on an acting trip together and he was fawning over her but nothing happened. Ari becomes more surly as he gets more in debt.

Turtle arranges the strippers to come to a party, and at the party Drama exhibits an amazing memory for Ken's stats as an NFL player. Ken is extraordinarily impressed at this, and Drama becomes jealous and protective when he sees Ken massaging one of the strippers. Seth makes another comment to E, and Vince and Turtle remark how E was incredibly violent when he got jealous. Ari gets surly at the blackjack table trying to make up for his winnings.

After the party, Drama asks Ken to go for a massage, but since the massage parlor is closed, Drama invites Ken to his bed. Ken looks perplexed, but goes anyway. On the way down to the stripping contest, Vince takes over for Ari, splits twice, doubles down once, and the dealer busts. Vince and Ari celebrate their sudden luck. Drama and Ken, in Drama's room, separate for a second, and when Drama returns, he finds Ken naked in his bed. Ken, not usually a homosexual, is impressed with Drama's admiration and says, "Fuck it, it is Vegas!" Drama immediately leaves.

At the judging contest, Seth Green and his posse are there as an exuberant Vince and Ari followed by Turtle and E enter. Seth and E get into an argument after E tells Seth off, with Seth saying that he had sex with Sloan. After that comment, Vince and Turtle let E go to fight Seth, and when one of Seth's crew blocks Eric, Drama enters the fray with a right haymaker. Drama, along with E and Turtle, proceed to fight and beat up Seth and his entourage while Ari and Vince sit back and watch, Ari noting that the fight can't be good for Vince's image.


[edit] Trivia

  • The episode was filmed entirely at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. During filming at the casino the cast held a wrap-up party at the hotel's club "Body English".
  • Actor Kevin Connelly was in a fist fight with Chad Muska at a club after Muska made lewd comments to Connelly's girlfriend Nicky Hilton. This is very similar to the events that take place during the trip the group takes to Las Vegas.[[1]]
  • The title is based upon a line from the 1996 film "Swingers."

[edit] Quotes

Seth Green: I must have been dreaming about how I blasted her in the face like a Jackson Pollock.

Drama: (to Ken, the masseuse) I'd like to lock you down for the rest of the day.
Ken: Really?
Drama: Oh yeah. I'll double your rate cause I don't want these hands touching anyone but me.
