10 Best Entourage Episodes

4. "Vegas Baby, Vegas!"

The city of sin and the cast of Entourage is such an obvious combination that it’s surprising it took them such a long time to set an episode out there. This season three instalment is actually a lot less crude than you might expect.

That’s not to say it doesn’t have all the usual trappings of an episode of Entourage set in Las Vegas, mind you, because it absolutely does. Vince is flown out to judge a stripper contest (the rules are never really specified) which he hands over to Turtle, who immediately takes advantage. Vince and Ari set up a gambling partnership, which almost goes terribly wrong, until it somehow doesn’t at the last minute.

Best of all is the ongoing battle between Eric and Seth Green, who plays a delightfully malevolent version of himself. Green insists to Eric that he has a history with E’s girlfriend Sloan, and while Eric resists the urge to revert to his old streetfighting ways, it’s only a matter of time before his fuse burns down.

It’s a gleefully silly episode which builds to an amped up conclusion - great fun, especially for a show entirely distant from its usual inside Hollywood biz.
