Plot - The Carver team is invited to play in an invitational tournament in Las Vegas.
Coach Reeves acts as the coach and chaperone. The players hatch an idea to win money gambling and are able to raise $420 from the student body. Eventually they sneak out of the hotel,find a minor-league casino, and eventually lose most of the money. Reeves does not explode as expected but seems resigned to this type of behavior. They lose both of the tournament games. Near the end, Goldstein finds a wallet with $6000. Reeves forces them to return it and the collect a finders fee.
Observations - This episode was poor but relatively better than Airball. For the second straight episode there was no basketball action. The casino scenes were fairly well-done and shows that Vegas hasn't really changed, just evolved. I can't explain why the producers felt these two episodes were necessary. Perhaps they felt that we'd had too many serious topics and needed a break.
