During the semester break ( spring break ) a group of students decides to go to Las Vegas to party and gamble. You can find an ancient Egyptian sword in an exhibition. One of the young men steals the artifact and rams it into the ground. In doing so, however, he brings an ancient curse to life. A powerful sandstorm is rushing towards Las Vegas and threatens to destroy the entire city.

The group of youngsters, supported by Sal, a longtime resident of Las Vegas and an expert on the casinos there, decides to lead the group. Since the storm is raging outside, they use underground secret passages. To break the curse they have to bring the largest piece of gold, the most dangerous animal and a sacred vase to the sword. During the search for the artefacts, there is a confrontation with a tiger and the storm and its aftermath cause more and more of the group to lose their lives in the course of the journey.

When they bring all of the artifacts to the sword and Nelson is able to pull the sword out, it appears that the curse has been broken. However, after a short time he rages again in the city. On the replica of the Eiffel Tower in the Paris Las Vegas hotel complex, you can finally end the curse thanks to the proximity to the sky. Nelson and his girlfriend Olive, who were able to solve the riddles around the artifacts through her knowledge of ancient Egypt, survive.
