[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Jack Singer (Cage) has sworn to his mother while she was on her deathbed that he would never get married. Years later, he goes back on his promise and proposes to his girlfriend, Betsy (Parker), and quickly arranges a Las Vegas marriage. They check into the Bally's Hotel.

Before the wedding, however, a wealthy professional gambler, Tommy Korman (Caan) arranges a poker game where Jack loses $65,000. Korman promises to erase the debt if he can spend the weekend with Singer's fiancée. Korman had seen Betsy suntanning near the pool and early at the conceirge desk and was reminded of his wife who had died of skin cancer, so he had personally chosen Singer knowing he could beat him.

After agreeing to no sexual activity, they agree to go through with this. Jack tries desperately to get Betsy back and discovers that Korman has escaped to Hawaii where he has his family and connections. Korman has a friend, Mahi Mahi (Pat Morita), basically keep Jack as far as possible from him and Betsy. Jack discovers this and goes and finds the house of Korman on a golf course. Korman attacks Jack and has him arrested.

After having Dr. Molar bail him out of jail. Mahi Mahi meets him outside and admits that Korman left with Betsy and is forcing her to marry him. Betsy doesn't want to go through with it and escapes from Korman. Meanwhile, after changing many planes and finding himself stuck, Jack finds a way of passage to Vegas via a group of Skydiving-Mormon Elvis impersonators from Salt Lake City. Jack lands and spots Betsy, which then ruins Korman's plans.
