* GuideDangIt: There is at least one obscure encounter. There is a lady who offers to buy you drink but it is very easy to never see her. You have to have more than $1000, go visit The Hideaway[[note]]This is unlikely if the player is doing well, as they'll probably stick with the higher-end casinos[[/note]], and decide that you want to binge-play Blackjack. Eventually, the rare lady will show up, offer you a drink and you can give her a cash tip. She will then offer you gameplay advice.

What makes ''Vegas Stakes'' unusual for its time was that it has an pretty fleshed out plot to why you're traveling to UsefulNotes/LasVegas to gamble your way to riches. You are a member of a group of close friends; Cliff, Maria, Isabelle and Richard and everyone has the objective to become multimillionaires. What this means in Vegas Adventure mode is that your objective is to win $9,999,999 at TabletopGame/{{Blackjack}}, craps, [[TabletopGame/{{Poker}} Poker: Seven-Card Stud]], roulette or slots starting with only $1,000 in your bank. Once you win at least $100,000, you're awarded high roller status and will be given a complementary room at the Laurel Palace and the privilege to gamble in their casino, but you must maintain a bank above $100,000 to continue your admittance.
