Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas!

INT. VIVA LAS VEGAS! CABARET AND CASINO - NIGHT The Viva Las Vegas! Cabaret and Casino is one of the most stunning theme, er, tribute restaurants in America, with it’s vibrant colors and dizzying razzle dazzle. The ceiling stands over the massive structure, resembling a night sky, millions of small lights represent stars and an overhead spotlight represents the moon and hangs over the stage, a platform right in the middle of the restaurant. Currently, a young woman is doing a diva-like rendition of “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” as couples dance on the dance floor in front of her, with colored lights built into the bottom. Posters from classic Las Vegas movies ("OCEAN’S 11", "DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER", and of course "VIVA LAS VEGAS!") and Vegas favorites are all over the wall. There’s a fully stocked bar, with the bartender entertaining the people on bar stools with plenty of showmanship and colorful conversation. The booths that the patrons sit in are made out to look kinda like hotel rooms with fish tanks in the wall. There is also a big screen in the back that plays B & W footage of the strip and fabulous stars and the like. The waitresses and waiters are made up as Vegas icons: FRANK SINATRA, SAMMY DAVIS JR., DEAN MARTIN, SEIGFRIED and ROY, TOM JONES, LIBERACE and the man himself, the King ELVIS PRESLEY wait on tables wearing appropriate costumes. Angel and Demonica are escorted to their table near the stage by a hostess dressed as a showgirl. After being seated, they’re handed colorful menus with various specials named after people and casino terms. DEMONICA Isn’t this wild?! ANGEL As wild as a three ring circus. She looks around for a bit. ANGEL Looks like a peacock threw up in here… DEMONICA Are you still tripping balls? Have you lost the Stendhal? ‘Cause I don’t want you “seizuring” or anything… Angel waves her off. They start studying their menus. ANGEL What are you gonna order? DEMONICA A big, beefy steak. I have a powerful lust for red meat. “JERRY LEWIS”, comes over. He trips a little, and then looks back, as if someone tripped him and he’s trying to catch the Wisenheimer. He sounds and looks a lot like Lewis, a great exaggerarator. “JERRY” Good evening, LADIES! What can do for you, on this great day? DEMONICA How many times a day do you have to say that? ”JERRY” More than I could recall… ANGEL Don’t mind her…I’ll have the Siegfried and Roy Hamburger and Fries, please. He writes it down on a little pad. ”JERRY” Would you like that burnt to a crisp or rare as a virgin Showgirl? ANGEL Burnt, please. ”JERRY” And to drink? ANGEL Water with ice, please. He turns his attention to Demonica. DEMONICA I’ll have the King-sized sirloin stack, burnt, with a Vanilla Coke. He writes that down and takes their menus. ”JERRY” I’ll be right back with your orders, LADIES! He walks away, as Demonica shouts back at him: DEMONICA I loved you in “The Nutty Professor”! (To Angel) This is fun, huh? ANGEL It’s like I died and went to Swingers Heaven. DEMONICA You wanna dance? ANGEL Not particularly. DEMONICA Aww, man! Another song’s starting! Indeed, there is another song has started. A young man, dressed as WAYNE NEWTON takes the stage as “Danke Shoen” starts up. New couples take the dance floor, as a blue spotlight cascades over them. ANGEL No, thanks. I am not going to slow dance with you. DEMONICA Why not?! Angel just looks at her. DEMONICA You never want to do anything! Angel shakes her head. DEMONICA You’re lame! Where’s Jerry Lewis? I’ll dance with him! ANGEL You wanna go to the casino later? DEMONICA Not really. I’d be nice though. I hear it’s one of the best… ANGEL Within a five-mile radius, I’m sure. “Jerry” comes back with their orders on a large tray. ”JERRY” S & R Burger and Fries. Sets it down. ”JERRY” With water. And a Sirloin Stack. Sets it down. ”JERRY” With a Vanilla Coke. If you ladies need anything else, don’t be afraid to scream. He starts to walk away. DEMONICA He didn’t say LADIES! That’s coming out of his tip.

They begin to eat as “The Rat Pack” takes the stage and does bits and sings a little bit of a medley.
