The foreground contains shadow art of bushes and palm trees, while the background depicts several skyscrapers, a fountain, two bars (one labelled 'bar' and the other featuring a neon martini glass sign), and two casinos (one with an 8-ball sign and another with a light-up 'CASINO' sign). A blimp flying overhead lights up the phrases 'GO' and 'Golden Knights'. At 13%, the scene fades to a remake of the [[Wikipedia:Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign|'Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas' sign]], before the screen goes black and neon text appears reading 'Welcome to Vegas!' | ||
*'''27-44% | *'''27-44%''': After the screen flashes white, the player appears as a Ship in an green felt area resembling a casino table. They must dodge playing cards and rotating poker chips. After passing a [[Wikipedia:Blackjack|Blackjack]] table where five cards are dealt, the long rail of a billiards table slides in at 38.25%from the top of the screen. The player is now on a billiards table and must avoid an assortment of billiard balls. Near the end of the section, a pool cue strikes the cue ball and pockets the 8-ball, requiring quick avoidance of the moving balls. Successfully manoeuvring through the balls leads the player to a prompt reading 'A cube walks into a bar...' as the screen fades. | ||
*'''44-59.75% | *'''44-59.75%''': The player appears in 'Plat's Bar', a purple tavern with two patrons and shot glasses littered across the counter. Gameplay requires the player to jump as a Cube whenever they approach a red exclamation mark. Some shot glasses contain small gold coins; collecting them has no effect, as does knocking over any of the shot glasses. | ||
*'''59.75-69.75% | *'''59.75-69.75%''': Following another dip to black, the player re-appears as a U.F.O. on the green felt background. Aside from circles of rotating [[Wikipedia:Playing card suit|card suits]], the only other hazards are a set of five cards and a large hand. The cards are dealt alongside the appearance of the word 'Draw!', and the hand appears when the player takes their 75-chip bet back. | ||

It contains three reels with three symbols each: a 7, a pair of cherries, and the BAR icon. The slot machine spins three times; its outcome cannot harm the player. The player passes stacks of poker chips, cigarettes in ashtrays, rings of dice, cards, green bottles, and patterns of the four card suits; none of these objects are hazardous. | ||
*<u>'''93-100%:'''</u> The player appears in front of a large sign reading 'R♠YAL FL♥SH', with two suits replacing the vowels 'O' and 'A'. Behind the top of the sign, a [[#Casino details|royal flush]] in spades is spread out. The sign and cards fade out as the level ends. | *<u>'''93-100%:'''</u> The player appears in front of a large sign reading 'R♠YAL FL♥SH', with two suits replacing the vowels 'O' and 'A'.

At 40.5%, the player must fly as a Ship into the center pocket of the pool table. They will land in a ball-return chute with three balls inside (the 5, 6, and 7-balls). Dodging the three balls inside the tight corridor will grant the player the coin at 45% before they teleport back to the main route at 47.5%. This route skips part of the ''Plat's Bar'' section, and the player remains as a Ship while inside the chute. | ||
