Another Night in Vegas is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
At the beginning of your upkeep, choose one that hasn't been chosen — • Wake Up! — Return target creature card from a graveyard to its owner's hand. • VIP Line Access — Search your library for a card, then shuffle and put that card on top. • Life of the Party — Whenever a spell is cast this turn, you gain 2 life. • Breakfast at Dawn — Create two Food tokens. Sacrifice this enchantment.
Complete guide
Welcome to the high stakes of Another Night in Vegas, a versatile black enchantment that offers a different utility every turn. This card mimics a modular quest, providing recursion, tutoring, life gain, and sustenance before its inevitable conclusion. Understanding how to manage its four unique modes is the key to surviving your trip to the neon lights.
A Four-Night Itinerary
Another Night in Vegas features a 'choose one that hasn't been chosen' clause. This means you must select a new mode at the beginning of each of your upkeeps. Once a mode has been used, it is no longer an option for future turns. The enchantment stays on the battlefield until the fourth mode, Breakfast at Dawn, is chosen, which forces you to sacrifice the enchantment as part of its resolution.
Step-by-Step Resolution
The ability triggers automatically when your upkeep phase begins. First, you place the trigger on the stack and choose one of the available modes. If you choose 'Wake Up!', you must also select a legal target creature card in a graveyard at this time. If the mode is 'VIP Line Access', you search and shuffle during resolution. The 'Life of the Party' mode creates a delayed triggered ability that lasts for the duration of the current turn, while 'Breakfast at Dawn' creates tokens and then sends the enchantment to the graveyard.
Strategy and Timing
Because the sacrifice is tied to the 'Breakfast at Dawn' mode, you can effectively use this card for four full turns. However, if Another Night in Vegas leaves the battlefield and returns (is 'flickered'), it is considered a new object. All modes will be available again, resetting your progress. Note that you cannot skip a turn; if it is your upkeep, you must choose an available mode if one exists.
Interaction examples
Phyrexian ArenaIf you control both enchantments, both triggers go on the stack at the start of your upkeep. You choose the order. If you want to use 'VIP Line Access' to put a specific card on top of your library and then immediately draw it with Phyrexian Arena, you must let the Vegas trigger resolve first.
Black Market ConnectionsDuring your upkeep, you can choose 'Life of the Party'. Later, in your first main phase, Black Market Connections triggers. If you choose all three modes on Black Market Connections, you will lose a total of 6 life, but 'Life of the Party' will trigger once because you only cast a single spell or activated an ability; however, if you cast spells later that turn, each one will regain you 2 life to offset the Connections' cost.
On your fourth turn with the card, you must choose 'Breakfast at Dawn' as it is the only remaining option. You create two Food tokens. As the final part of that ability's resolution, you sacrifice Another Night in Vegas. You cannot respond to the sacrifice once the ability has started resolving to try and use other modes.
