7 Days to Vegas 2019

In the gritty underbelly of Hollywood, where fortunes are won and lost in a game filled with high-stakes, “sin city” springs to life with a colorful assortment of characters determined to climb the ladder of success. Caught in this chaotic world is Duke, played by Vincent Van Patten, a former star reduced to hosting low-stakes poker games just to get by. He finds himself in an unlikely alliance with Sebastion, portrayed by Ross McCall, a shrewd and arrogant film director with a gift for turning a profit.

As their high-stakes poker games spiral into ridiculous wagers, ranging from blindfolded acrobatics to daring long-distance shots, the stakes and absurdity skyrocket. Sebastion, ever the clever schemer, always manages to tilt the odds in his favor. Meanwhile, Duke, in a desperate bid for financial rescue, realizes he might be playing a game far beyond his control.

Despite Sebastion’s questionable ethics, he possesses a seemingly infinite pool of wealthy patrons eager to join in the thrill of gambling, which he exploits to develop a sprawling empire of dubious profits. Concurrently, Duke scrapes together a modest fortune, hiding his earnings in his backyard, while the stakes of their games keep climbing higher.

However, Duke’s dream of prosperity is shattered when Sebastion’s true nature emerges, unveiling a world of deceit and betrayal. A Ponzi scheme orchestrated by Sebastion’s accomplice decimates Duke’s savings, leaving him with nothing but hollow promises. The ultimate betrayal occurs when Sebastion reveals that he never invested a single dollar, laughing maniacally as Duke is left in the ruins of his dreams.

Furious and resolute to reclaim what is rightfully his, Duke hatches a daring scheme: he will trek from LA to Las Vegas in merely seven days, traversing a grueling 280 miles of desert highway. The stakes? A staggering $1 million wager from Duke against Sebastion’s $5 million. Their adventure unfolds in a RV, accompanied by an entourage of opportunists and con artists, transforming the journey into a bizarre road trip filled with absurd prop bets, betrayals, and trickery.

Ultimately, the outcome of this wild escapade leaves one pondering what is truly gained—or lost. The only certainty is that in this twisted realm of high-stakes gambling, everyone will get exactly what they deserve, no matter how convoluted the path may be.
