Synopsis

Springfield is without a casino anymore (see "$pringfield") when Mr. Burns' Casino is demolished. The family gets their car washed, and when Homer is there, he sees that Ned Flanders gets a senior discount. At church, Flanders admits to Homer that he is sixty years old. He says that he follows the three "c"s of success: clean living, chewing thoroughly, and church every day of the week.

The Simpsons come to the Flanders home to cheer a depressed Ned up, and Homer tells Flanders that they are going on a gambling trip to Las Vegas. Homer is confident to go there, but Flanders is nervous. They see Captain Lance Murdoch (from "Bart the Daredevil") doing one of his stunts, and Flanders chooses to volunteer, and survives. As they gamble, Homer and Ned try their luck, get money, and have some binge drinking time.

Later on, Homer and Ned realize that they are talking with two cocktail waitresses: Homer's new wife is named Amber, and Ned's new wife is Ginger. The waitresses say that they are married to them, and prove it through a video tape. Homer and Ned try to escape from the waitresses, and go on a wild rampage through the casino, until they are confronted by casino security, Ernst and Gunter (also from "$pringfield"), Drederick Tatum, and the Moody Blues. They escape the casino, but are booted out of the casino, and say that they are not welcome to Las Vegas again. Homer and Ned head back to their real wives in Springfield by hitchhiking.
