'And Here's Mike With the Weather'

When The Montecito seeks its annual license renewal from the Gaming Commission, $2.9 million in irregularities are discovered in the auditor's report. Ed (James Caan) and Danny (Josh Duhamel) trace the missing amount to the date the old Montecito imploded and to a Blackjack tournament which included the infamous Monica Mancuso (Lara Flynn Boyle).

Not completely convinced Monica is guilty, Ed and Danny dig deeper and discover much more then meets the eye. Meanwhile, Danny's former marine Sergeant, Sergeant Burn (Dale Dye) visits The Montecito. The two have drinks with Ed and find themselves in a bar fight. The spirited night leads Ed to offer Burn a job; Danny is happy until the Sergeant imposes his military style leadership throughout the casino.

Elsewhere, Mike (James Lesure), an amateur meteorologist, is thrilled when weatherman Storm Reno decides to report the weather from the casino...and when Storm's health goes array, Mike get the chance to fulfill his dream to "do the weather."
