JOEY’S ROADTRIP TO VEGAS, BABY!– When one of the celebrity judges drops out of a beauty pageant in Las Vegas, Joey is called upon at the last minute to fill his spot. Gina and Alex decide they want to take a roadtrip with Joey so they decide to kidnap Michael from school and force him to join them. While at the casino, Michael reluctantly decides to teach Gina how to play blackjack using his math skills.
Feeling a bit bored and wanting to go crazy, Joey, Michael, and Gina, go on a roadtrip to Las Vegas! It seems it may be Michael’s birthday. At a casino, both Joey and Gina try to teach Michael how to play blackjack. They are so bad at blackjack that Michael prefers going to the hotel room. They convince him to stay and play. Maybe Michael will teach them how to really play? Joey plays under an assume name and job (don’t know why) and he seems to actually know how to play now as he made enough money to have the floor manager be interested in him. At this point Michael wants to stop playing. Alex, who seems to have decided to come to Vegas on her own, spots them and yells their names, which as the floor manager become suspicious because there is no Joey playing, there is a Mark. They are all brought in by security who thinks they were cheating. Michael tries to look and sound dumb so they are released.
