What Happens on Entourage... Stays on Entourage - 
by Umnata
If getting paid $100,000 bucks to go to Vegas and judge a stripper contest is rock bottom, then someone please get me to the floor ASAP. I don't know if most normal humans can consider this as low as you can go, but it's looking pretty close for Vince on Entourage. After getting fired from Aquaman 2, missing out on dream project Medellin and pissing off half of the entertainment industry with his stunt at the Hollywood Foreign Press conference over the Technicolor revamp of Queens Blvd, you'd think that Vince would have to be pretty close to a Tom-Cruise-Ate-His-Baby's-Placenta-level meltdown, right? Ehh, not quite. Things might not be going exactly his way, but Vince isn't letting that ruin his easy, breezy beautiful Cover Girl lifestyle. Next stop: VEGAS BABY!
Despite the fact that the charmingly mentally challenged Turtle set up the gig, everything seems pretty legit about the all expense paid trip to Vegas: Some club is paying Vince $100,000 to go to a party they are throwing. People pay Paris Hilton money to go to clubs all the time, so it's completely normal. And Vince probably won't have to participate in any Donkey Shows while he's down there, so: Vincent Chase - 1; Paris Hilton - 0. Eric doesn't know if it's the best idea - which continues to help my theory that he is, in fact, the secret love child of Samwise Gamgee and Debbie Downer . But Vince, having a rare moment of lucid self-realization, thinks that since everyone in Hollywood hates him only slightly less than they hate Mel Gibson, it'll be a good idea to get out of town for a bit. Turtle's reasoning for going: "Saying no to Vegas, is like saying no to a blowjob." Say what you will about the squat little guy (and I sure do), he makes some valid points.
Despite the persuasive and logical argument, Drama thinks he might pass on the trip. He has a pilot to shoot and needs to relax. If this were Pee Wee's Playhouse - if only! - PILOT would be the word of the day, seeing how Drama drops it more times than I drop celeb names in my recaps. Vince reminds him that there are two different kinds of Vegas: The debauchery laden sin factory and the laid back spa capital of the world. I've actually done both kinds of Vegas trips, crazy bar top dancing (apparently only hot girls are supposed to do that, not overweight bloggers) and laid back with food, booze and pool. Both are great, but either way, after 3 days in Vegas home is the only place in the world for me. Drama, remembering that he has a boyfriend in Vegas who gives one hell of a massage, decides to join the guys on the trip. Now there is only one piece of the puzzle left - convincing Ari to join them. Ari also tries to weasel his way out of a spur of the moment trip to Vegas on a Wednesday, but is defenseless against Vince's charms. He also has just a little bit of experience with Vegas, so he wants to see if things have changed since he impaled Kobe Tai in the bathroom a few years back.
The boys get to Vegas and Ari fields two calls from equally hostile females: Mrs. Ari and Babsm his new partner in the Miller Gold Talent Agency (The Ari Gold Super Duper Talent Agency is officially dead). Mrs. Ari is pisst off that he is skipping out on the theater with her parents, while Babs is not too pleased that he is servicing the needs to his top client when there are 150 of his OTHER clients that need his help. I love Beverly D'Angelo so much in this role, it's ridiculous. She's the scariest woman this side of Mrs. Ari, and her voice is like sand paper. Genius casting.
