Nick called to say he would be a few minutes late, due to a delay with his parent's plane, so Grissom just told him to meet Greg and Warrick at the crime scene.
"Sorry I'm late." Nick apologised. "My parent's flight was late."
"Their flight okay otherwise?" Warrick asked.
"Yes. They're checked into their hotel so hopefully they should get a decent night's sleep."
"So any nerves, second thoughts or plans to skip town?" Warrick inquired.
"No, no and no." Nick replied. "Why did Sara say something? I haven't seen her all day."
"No. You two must be the only people getting married in Vegas that haven't had any second thoughts."
"Catherine says if it's the right decision you shouldn't have second thoughts." Greg pointed out.
"Catherine is a smart woman." Nick replied. "What have we got anyway?"
"Dead guy in the middle of a nightclub dance floor." Greg replied.
"A great way to start a night." Nick stated.
"Well you wouldn't let us throw you a bachelor party, so a dead guy is the best we can come up with on short notice." Warrick slapped him on the back.
"How can you top that?"

"Sidle." Sara answered her ringing cell phone a few hours later.
"Sara, it's Detective Ortega."
"Hi."
"Does Nick have a room registered at the MGM Grand?" Ortega inquired.
"It's for his parents they're in town for the wedding? Why are you calling exactly did something happen?"
"There was a dead guy in a room down the hall, hooker call it in. I just wanted to check."
"You're going to need CSI, I'll be right there."
"Thanks Sara."
"Just out of curiosity why didn't you call Nick?"
"I tried his cell phone went straight to voicemail. I didn't want to put a call out through dispatch in case it was a different Nick Stokes."
"I'll be right there." She hung up. "Hey Gris." She walked into the room he was working.
"Hey Sara did you find something?"
"No the room is clear." Sara replied. "I just got a call from Ortega; there is a dead guy at the MGM Grand."
"And he called you?" Grissom questioned.
"Nick's parents are in a room down the hall. Nick thought it would be nice to give them a real look at Vegas." Sara explained. "Do you mind if I go over there and check on them and see if there is anything to investigate."
"Call in if you need back up." Grissom told her.
"Thanks Gris."
"Just out of curiosity why didn't he call Nick?"
"Nick's cell went straight to voice mail, the battery is probably dying or they can't get a signal."
"Just let me know." Grissom told her.

"Hey Ortega." Sara flashed her ID to the officer signing people in.
"Hey Sara." He replied. "Your in-laws to be are in that room there."
"Did they hear anything?"
"No they were asleep. By the way what kind of judge is Nick's father?" Ortega inquired.
"Texan Supreme Court." Sara replied. "His mother is a public defender. Actually they could stage a whole trial, expert witnesses and all you'd just need a bad guy and a jury. Has David been by to check on the body?"
"Not yet we're still waiting on him. It does look suspicious."
"I'll just check on them and I'll be over." Sara told him.
"4 09." Ortega told her.
"Thanks."
Sara knocked on the door to Bill and Jillian's hotel room.
Bill opened the door dressed in a robe.
"Hey." Sara said. "Sorry did I wake you?"
"No Jillian is asleep but I'm still awake from when the detective knocked."
"I just thought I'd come and check everything was okay before I headed down the hall."
"We're okay; we weren't expecting this level of excitement." Bill told her.
"Welcome to Vegas. If you think this is exciting you should be here on fight night, Nick describes it as the flight of the Pifflings. I just wanted to check that you were both okay."
"How are you feeling it's only a few hours to go?" Bill inquired.
"I'm good." Sara replied. "I should get back to work; I'll see you this afternoon."
"Okay." Bill told her.
