Opening Narration
''Dean uncovers the seedy side of sin city. But Dean, aren’t you supposed to be looking for your brother Perry?''

Synopsis
The episode begins in the hall of a fancy casino, where various patrons (including Perry) interact with VIP cocktail waitresses and play the slot machines. These relatively normal events are quickly interrupted as Dean suddenly appears from a decorative fountain, propelling outward and landing in a slapstick manner.

After absentmindedly guzzling a cocktail provided by one of the waitresses, Deans attention is brought to the slot machines, where a cowboy is trying his luck. Upon seeing Dean, the cowboy requests that he pull “his arm” (meaning the slot machine lever)to bring him good luck. However, the dim-witted Dean interprets his request literally, and violently rips the mans arm off. As the man yells in pain, violently shouting at Dean to return his appendage, The Grunt quickly exits the casino (still holding the mans arm), and hails a cab.

As the cab drives down the strip, Dean finally throws the arm out the window. It lands on an armless street performer, who is impersonating Elvis Presley (he responds with Elvis’ signature, “Thank you....thank you very much”). After disregarding the arm, the cabby asks Dean where he wants to be dropped off. Dean responds with a series of unintelligible Grunts, which the Cabby interprets as a request to be taken to a whore house.

The cab stops in front of a pink trailer, prompting Dean to absentmindedly enter it. After bouncing around inside for a few seconds, Dean exits in a happy go lucky manner as the women inside beg him to stay, and then proceed to fight over him.

After leaving the trailer, Dean finds himself inside a warehouse of sorts, where he is threatened and taken hostage by two men who appear to be involved with the mafia, or another form of organized crime. However, just as they are about to carry out the threat, one of the men takes note of his watch and notes that they are late for an anticipated event. They leave the warehouse, taking Dean at knifepoint and travel to lounge somewhere on the strip, where they attend a Tom Jones concert. After a performance of a cover of “Kiss” by Prince, the two gang members faint, allowing Dean to wander off to his own devices.

Sometime later, Dean finds himself at another bar called the Losers Lounge, where he enjoys his favorite drink, Cheese Under Rocks. As he enjoys his drink, the bartender goes on a depression fueled tirade, forcing Dean out of the bar in the process.

Back out on the street, a creepy stranger pulls up, offering Dean a ride. The Grunt agrees, climbing into the passenger seat and riding of into the night.

Trivia

 * The women that enjoy Deans company bear resemblance to the Kanker sisters of Ed, Edd n’ Eddy in many different ways; their trailer is essentially a pink palette swap of the Kankers, and they are a group of three, boy/man crazy women. Their voices sound similar to those of the Kankers as well.
