Benson

The group is headed to Las Vegas for the annual Lieutenant Governor's Conference. Additionally, the trip will serve as Katie's vacation and allow for her and her father to spend some time together away from the hectic pace of the governor's mansion.

Upon arrival and preparing to check-in at the Riviera Hotel, Kraus sees an old friend, Zelda, who as it turns out, is a performer at the hotel. While Gretchen goes off to catch up with Zelda, the Governor and Katie go to plan their excursion. This leaves Benson and Clayton to stroll through the casino. After initially showing disinterest, Clayton is convinced by Benson to partake in the slot machines. Not wanting to break a dollar bill, Clayton borrows a quarter from Benson (and gets called "cheap" in the process). To his surprise, Clayton hits the jackpot (three '$' signs) on his first pull and the machine yields a slew of quarters. Astonished by the results, a taken Clayton asks "Is all that mine?" to which Benson sharply replies "...all but one of them." After Benson reclaims his lent quarter, Clayton hits the jackpot again on his second pull. Seeing Clayton get more and more into the gambling buzz, Benson leaves to go to his room. On his way up the elevator, Benson runs into the Smothers Brothers, who can't seem to agree on whether to do a traditional or improvised version of "Jimmy Crack Corn." Humorously enjoying their playful exchange, the Lt. Governor exits the elevator.

Back in the casino, Clayton continues his run of beginner's luck, moving from the slots and on to the Blackjack table. After a couple of good hands, he smugly asks the dealer "Where's the real action?" The dealer directs him to the craps table, where the "high rollers play." At the craps table, Clayton finds more good fortune, taking the time to remark "Take Daddy to heaven!" and "Gimme 'dem bones!"

Shortly after arrival, Governor Gatling had inquired with his daughter as to how they should spend their time, with such suggestions as visiting Hoover Dam or going to Virginia City. As it turns out, Katie just wanted to go to the mall since she "loves to shop." Returning from that excursion, the two are making their way around the hotel pool when they decide to sit for awhile. While planning their next move, father and daughter take a moment to realize that it doesn't really matter what they do, since the important thing is that they spend time together. Their familial bond is reflected through an exchange of "I love you" and an embrace.

The next morning finds Kraus awakening Benson sooner than he was prepared for. She asks him has he forgotten about breakfast, which receives a response of "No, but I usually like to wait until I'm awake." Kraus then clarifies and refers to Benson's scheduled breakfast with the Governor of Nevada, which is in 15 minutes. After hurriedly dressing, Benson rushes out with Kraus in time for both of them to see a very different Clayton, complete with slicked hair, a leisure suit and a frilly shirt. Benson asks Clayton where he is headed and Clayton retorts "I have a date with a deck of cards." Benson needles Clayton, "So you decided to go as a joker?" before making his way to the breakfast.

Later on that day, after making the breakfast appointment, Benson and Kraus find a befuddled Clayton staggering through the casino. Having lost out big time on the roulette wheel, Clayton can only seem to mutter "I'm a loser." After hearing Benson remark "Well, at least the trip was educational." Gretchen spots Bobby Vinton, The Polish Prince. She is quite taken by him, noticeably confusing her words in a quest to garner an autograph.

The last setting for the episode finds the entire group gathered (along with a sizeable crowd) in one of the Riviera's showrooms, preparing to watch Zelda's act. Zelda asks for two volunteers to come on stage and be hypnotized, which Kraus eagerly supplies herself and a reluctant Benson. Gretchen is placed in a trance and reminisces about her time as a young girl back in Bavaria and being smitten with Johann, the goat herder. After being brought out of the trance, Kraus finds herself surprisingly cuddled up to Benson, believing him to be Johann (eliciting a comedic and desperate plea for her to stop by Benson). Kraus dismisses this somewhat embarrassing moment and allows Benson to participate in the act. Benson takes the time to say that he doesn't believe he can be hypnotized, but he is placed under almost immediately. Zelda places the suggestion that Benson is a lounge singer and in response, he engages in an elaborate song and dance routine, with accompaniment by the Solid Gold Dancers. The episode ends at the conclusion of Benson's rendition of "Tonight, It's My Party".
