5 criminals get together to pull a casino heist at the Riviera Casino in Las Vegas during Elvis week. They dress up as Elvis impersonators, through the course of the robbery one member is killed. One of the members kills all the other criminals except one (who was wearing a bullet-proof vest). The criminal who survived travels with his girlfriend to launder the money, as the other remaining criminal is on his tail to get the stolen cash.
