May contain story progression spoilers
Billy, Paddy, Archie, and Sam have been best friends since childhood and use the Las Vegas trip to reconnect despite decades of change.
The friends compare the historic Rat Pack-era Sands with the modern Las Vegas dominated by Cirque du Soleil and new casino entertainment.
The four longtime friends travel to Las Vegas intending to stop acting their age and relive their glory days.
