What happens in Las Vegas in the 1970s doesn't stay there! This rollicking romp through the Vegas underworld involves a philandering radio deejay, suspected of plotting the disappearance of his girlfriend and a huge sum of cash. Jack King works for radio station WCUS (The Cuse) in Syracuse, NY. His dream is to move from the cold, brutal winters of Central New York, to the sunshine and fun in Southern California. As luck would have it, Jack is invited to a “celebrity” blackjack tournament in Las Vegas. The winner will get a handsome cash payout. All Jack wants is a fun filled weekend in Vegas, anticipating partying and lots of sex with his stunning girlfriend. But, just before the couple departs, his crime-boss Uncle wants a sit down with the young deejay. Soon a serious dilemma with no shortage of lighthearted moments unfolds.
