Lorne finds leaving Las Vegas hard to do.
Upset and worried at Lorne's failure to contact them since he left for Vegas, Angel and the gang go to visit him. Once there, they watch his floor show, but can't get to speak to him.
In his dressing room, Lorne is forced to give the names of people in the audience to a gangster, Lee. Later, in the casino, each person he picks is given a token for a game which robs them of their destiny, and fixates them on gambling. Angel, bothering the management, is picked too.
While he plays the slots, Fred and Gunn try to escape with Lorne, who they've rescued. Cornered and brought before Lee, it looks like the game is up, until a divine intervention by Cordelia causes Angel to hit the jackpot. Brought up to collect his winnings, he suddenly hits out and destroys a glowing ball, releasing all the trapped destinies.
- ten quick questions.
Trivia: Andy Hallett, talking to the Cult site, revealed how much he'd enjoyed filming this episode. "[The dancers there] didn't know me from a hole in the wall... but I think they thought I had more authority than I did.
I had just watched the Grammies [where] Patti Labelle came rising out of the stage on this big lift... and she comes down the stairs while the girls are all on the stairs... I look backstage and I see stairs and I'm thinking, 'Hmm - I want those stairs.' I said to the girls, 'Girls, let's try something.' ...and those girls went right up, did it like I asked, thinking that I'm a choreographer."

Lorne brings the house down with his rendition of Lady Marmalade, a 1975 hit for LaBelle. The song topped the charts again with a version produced for the film Moulin Rouge, this time featuring the singing talents of Lil' Kim, Mya, Christina Aguilera and Pink.
Angel reveals that he hung around with the Rat Pack in the 50s. The core members of the Pack were Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jnr, and Dean Martin.
