While Danny thinks of a reward for a vagabond who brought 10 grand back, Ed has suspicions his wife is unfaithful.

Nessa is stunned when a mysterious woman shows up at the Montecito with news that her father is alive and wants to communicate with her. She begins to question what Ed has told her of her father's whereabouts which leads her right into a trap that affects the whole casino. Meanwhile, when a video gaming convention takes over the hotel, Sam, Danny and Mike have to police fraudulent acts of plagiarism. Elsewhere, Mary befriends hotel guest, Hennessy Figueroa, who lost her husband after ten years of marriage and is desperate to keep his memory alive.

Ed gets former Firm colleague Frank to help save a Montecito employee's illegal mother, Maria DiGiuseppe, who runs a restaurant, from racketeer Jerry Garret. However, Ed can only control his violent temper by promising him a date with Montecito math wonder Sarasvati Kumar, then gets to the boss behind the screens. After Sam encourages a new gambler, Danny and Mike clean up her mess when it turns out Eric Nesterenko is just an alias of youngster Kellen Phillips, who paid nobodies to cash in a fortune in chips for him to invest illegally in stock with Ron Redfield in San Diego. Delinda and Nessa rival for the attention of Fear Factor (dare game show) host Joe Rogan.

The new Montecito is finished and its new owner, a woman called Monica Mancuso, wants the old team back. However, most of them refuse to come back to the Montecito and have already found other jobs.

The Montecito experiences several financial perils. Ed Deline worries about chip cheaters who already got away with $1,200,000, and orders to divert owner Monica's attention -she hasn't even mastered the essential element of fun- to a gambler who seems to keep winning honestly, already for $300,000, while he and Mike trace all people plausibly involved, the manufacturing company and even the whereabouts of only five machines which could do the job, the takes drastic action... Meanwhile Mike and Danny close in on pick-pockets. Danny's accountant insists he should sell his late dad's house, which increased in value from almost nothing to about $1,500,000, and thus discovers a recent picture on pa's bed-stand with a woman he doesn't know at all.

Remarks about Las Vegas's past evoke a dream in which Danny, Mike and the girls arrive in 1962 at the Jubilee, the later Montecito, with new boss Ed, a mobster. They not only take over but invent the modern all-in-one-site entertainment formula, combining casino elements gambling, hotel, restaurants and shops, in the process inventing their present jobs. That takes quite some convincing and arm-twisting, in the spirit of those days still using methods they now wouldn't even consider.

The Nevada gaming Commission questions Casey's license because of $3,000,000 missing from the Montecito books, from the last night before Monica bought the casino. Casey is cleared, Ed must find the thief helped by Danny, whose rough USMC instructor Sergeant 'Gunny' Burn shows up and 'enlists' himself on hotel staff. Meanwhile meteorology fan Mike's hero, the forecast presenter, works from the Montecito and needs a stand-in stat.

Danny has 'just sex' with Delinda, whose mother wants to 'finally' match her again with idealistic college boyfriend Dr. Derek Stephenson. Casey concludes from an incognito visit that the department chiefs must be 'taken down a peg or two' on a mandatory corporate retreat, and makes it desert camping and paintball, in two teams. Derek is allowed to stand in for Ed, who must fill a surveillance vacancy. He and the finalists investigate $2,000,000 missing.

Ed's wife has railroaded him to a horrible desolate spa. In his absence Danny must approve Dwight Stiles to play blackjack for $1,000,000 a hand. Accountant Sarasvati warns that's illegal without matching cash, so an armored car full is ordered. Alas, a fake team got the cash from the bank, quickly reloaded into a car, which is found with two corpses. Is there a link? and if so, who are the other accomplices? Meanwhile Delinda's dream doctor, Derek, delays his Bangladesh mission to propose.

While Delinda starts doubting about her feelings as the day of her wedding approaches, Ed refuses to help a former CIA partner in a mission.

When a report is filed by accounting, Danny and Mike look to Ed for a pat on the back, who only prompts them to work harder, and even bets them that he can do their job better than either one of them can. Mary tries to sell the last residence suite at the Montecido.
