Monica and Chandler's Vegas anniversary trip turns into a wedding bet at the craps table, while Ross and Rachel drink through the night and get married, and Joey works as a casino gladiator.

What happens

• Monica tells Phoebe she ran into her ex Richard and had lunch with him, and asks her to keep it from Chandler before their anniversary.
• Monica surprises Chandler with tickets to Vegas so they can see Joey, and Phoebe invites herself along.
• Rachel enjoys the empty apartment with her clothes off, Ross sees her from his window and arrives expecting sex, and both are left humiliated.
• Joey admits his film ran out of money and he now works at the casino, and Chandler, who heard about Richard from Phoebe on the flight, argues with Monica until they separate for the night.
• Ross gets back at Rachel on their own flight by loudly telling the cabin that he will not sleep with her.
• Joey loses his hundred dollars at blackjack, then decides the dealer's identical hands are worth a fortune.
• Ross draws a beard on Rachel while she sleeps, and she reaches the casino before she finds out.
• Monica catches Chandler heading home and promises never to see Richard again, and the two make up.
• Monica goes on a winning craps run, Chandler tells her they will marry that night if she rolls a hard eight, and they agree the die that fell off the table is a four.
• Phoebe's feud with a slot machine lurker ends with a security guard removing her from the casino.
• Chandler and Monica wait their turn at the chapel and watch a drunk Ross and Rachel come out of it already married.
