After helping a client impress a woman (Sofia Vergara), he accepts a proposition from meek self-made millionaire Cyrus Kinnick (Michael Angarano) to show him around Vegas and provide him with protection while he gambles. While eating at a diner, Nick's waitress friend Roxy (Anne Heche) hands him a message from a woman he knows, Holly (Dominik Garcia-Lorido), who wants him to stop by her house. Holly, a professional escort, explains she had a date the previous night at the Golden Nugget. Afterward, she was brutally raped and beaten by three unknown men in their hotel room. Holly asks Nick to find out who they are so that she can sue them, though unbeknownst to Nick, she plans to take revenge. Nick discovers that the man responsible for raping Holly is Danny DeMarco (Milo Ventimiglia), a gangster. DeMarco had his two thugs dump her in a hospital car park. Nick goes to the hotel to confront DeMarco, disguised as someone sent by another criminal. A confrontation develops but Nick defends himself, overpowering DeMarco and his men, who are tied up as Nick calls Holly. In the room, Holly contemplates castrating DeMarco, who breaks down and begs her forgiveness, Holly decides to take $50,000 from DeMarco’s desk and leave. Holly splits the money with Nick and leaves Las Vegas. Nick decides to take Cyrus to a casino and gamble with his half of DeMarco’s money. Playing blackjack with dealer friend Cassandra (Hope Davis), he has a winning streak, amassing a total of $506,000 in casino chips. When cashing out, Nick has a sudden anxiety attack and tells Cyrus that even though the $500,000 will last him for many years, it isn’t enough to last him for a lifetime. Back at the casino tables, Nick loses all of his money in a single bet. When leaving the hotel, Nick is attacked by DeMarco’s men, and has to fight his way out of the casino. The next day, Nick goes to a meeting with Baby (Stanley Tucci), the mafia boss of Las Vegas. Baby has received a complaint from DeMarco, who claims that Nick broke into his hotel room, pistol-whipped him, and killed two of his men – all to fund his gambling addiction. Baby warns Nick that if he cannot prove his innocence, he will have to be killed. Nick tells Baby that DeMarco is lying, explaining that DeMarco obviously had killed two of his own men because they had witnessed him pleading for his life. To prove he is telling the truth, Nick tells Baby that when Holly considered castrating DeMarco, she had cut the side of his penis with garden shears. Baby asks DeMarco to pull down his pants and prove Nick wrong, but after he refuses, Baby concludes that DeMarco is lying and lets Nick go free. Nick goes back to his local diner.
