Episode Overview

Title: Las Vegas Showdown Plot: In this thrilling episode, four teams comprised of two best friends, a pair of twins, and a couple faced off in vibrant Las Vegas. The ultimate prize for the winning duo involved wagering half of their earnings on a crucial blackjack hand. Stunt #1 (Upside-down drop and vehicle flip) One participant would be suspended by their ankles from 120 feet in the air, while their teammate waited in a car below. The hanging contestant had to free themselves and activate a rip cord. Once released, they would plummet head-first onto a flaming ramp, prompting their partner to launch the vehicle into a stack of roadblock barrels. The three fastest teams would move on, while the slowest would be sent home. Stunt #2 (Poker with a twist) Contestants would engage in a high-stakes poker game at the Excalibur, where they needed to consume bizarre cocktails to earn their playing cards.
