What makes ''Vegas Stakes'' unusual for its time was that it has an actual 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}}, 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.
