Story line:

    Buffy and Babs have made plans to visit Las Vegas. They fall asleep looking at all of the fliers from the casinos. While asleep, they begin to dream of the trip that awaits them. Suddenly, they are on the streets of Las Vegas. The first thing they see is the sign, Welcome to Las Vegas. They are engulfed with dancing girls with feathers. They travel through a seemingly endless flurry of feathers, dance, and color. Their walk through this flurry brings them to New York, New York Casino. They find themselves in the dance line of A Chorus Line. They continue their walk and come upon Caesar's Palace. The flurry of activity seems to calm until suddenly they are surrounded with an impenetrable wall of sound. They feel trapped. Tinsel town has overwhelmed them and they want to get out. Panic ensues! They are tossed and turned through massive movement and colorful twirling, spinning, and tossing objects. They are suddenly dropped into the lap of the Luxor Casino. Middle eastern dancing, snake charmers, and bizarre activities begin all around them. The activity increases in its fervor. Suddenly in the the distance, the sound of a marching band. Help is on its way. As all seems quiet and relaxed, the crushing fervor of the crowds once again pushes in on our heroines.    They suddenly awake. Was it a dream or was it real?
