List of Modern Family episodes

"Las Vegas" is the 18th episode of the fifth season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 114th overall. It was aired on March 26, 2014. The episode was written by Paul Corrigan, Brad Walsh, and Bill Wrubel and directed by Gail Mancuso. This was the first episode of the show to feature only the parent cast.

Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould, Rico Rodriguez, and Aubrey Anderson-Emmons do not appear in this episode.

All the family, except the kids, arrive at Las Vegas for the weekend. Jay (Ed O'Neill) sold the owner of Mandalay Bay, Burt (Ray Laska), some closet space and Burt gave him free access to the three main adult contingents at the hotel's platinum level rooms in return.

Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) runs into an old boyfriend of his, Langham (Fred Armisen), who is there with his partner Tim (Jeffrey Nicholas Brown) for their bachelor party. The two of them invite Mitchell and Cam (Eric Stonestreet) to their party but Mitchell declines the offer since he just wants to spend some time at the spa relaxing. Cam goes with Mitchell but when Mitchell has his massage, he leaves to go to the pool party of Langham and Tim and gets back in time so Mitchell won't notice his absence.

Gloria (Sofía Vergara) and Jay take a walk and Gloria sees Rebarka, the female version of Barkley, the butler dog that Jay bought from Las Vegas on a previous trip of his and she hates. She knows that when Jay sees it, he will want to buy it and she does everything she can so Jay will not see it. She manages to send Jay to their room to bring her a jacket while she gets into the store to buy Rebarka so they will take it out of the store window. On his way to the room, Jay discovers that their rooms are not at the top floor as they told him and he wants to make sure they will all move to the "Excelsior Plus" level.
