==History==
===Tony Stark's Apogee Award===
Tony Stark was presented with an Apogee Award, which was meant to be presented to him at Caesars Palace. The ceremony presented Stark's earliest successes and latest advances in military armament. James Rhodes then prepared to present Stark with the award and announced him. However, when Stark did not appear to receive the award, Obadiah Stane accepted it on his behalf.
Stark was gambling at the casino as the award was being presented, and Rhodes gave him the award near the gaming table. Stark got rid of the award by giving it to one of the entertainers of the casino dressed as a Roman. Stark was stopped outside the casino by Christine Everhart questioning him about his reputation as an arms dealer, but Stark flirted with her and convinced her to go to his mansion to sleep together.
===Asgardian Fugitive===
Lorelei, an Asgardian fugitive intending to conquer Earth, demanded to her last thrall, Agent Grant Ward, to be taken to somewhere deserving of a queen, so he took her to Las Vegas in order to show her a more scenic location than Death Valley.
While there, the two checked into Caesars Palace, a place that pleased Lorelei, and made her praise of Ward's skills, especially compared to the men she enthralled in the Mojave Desert. Despite being enthralled, Ward knew that he was dispensable for Lorelei, but he did not care about it.
Lorelei wanted Ward as the leader of the army she demanded him to present to her, giving him a gift in return. Ward and Lorelei spent the night together, and they shared their former experiences, with Ward confiding in Lorelei about his feelings for Melinda May and Skye, while she remembered her six hundred years imprisoned in the Asgardian Dungeons and admiring the beauty she was seeing on Earth, despite thinking at first that it was a desolate planet while wandering the desert.
Together, Lorelei and Ward planned how to take the planet, as Lorelei was concerned that Sif was hunting her. Ward suggested eliminating her as a threat, but Lorelei warned him not to underestimate Sif, as the graves of Asgard were filled with men who did that. However, as Ward perfectly knew the people she was working with, he felt himself capable of doing so.
The following morning, Skye found a lead on Ward and Lorelei's location, and Phil Coulson led an all-female S.W.A.T. team to raid the Caesars Palace suite they stayed, only to find they had already abandoned it.
Coulson told Melinda May that he knew that, despite she told him that her relationship with Ward would not be a problem, she would not tell him if it was. May did not answer, and contacted Leo Fitz at the Bus asking him to track Ward and Lorelei using the cameras in the town, not knowing that Ward and Lorelei had drawn them from the plane to prepare an ambush and take the plane for themselves.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 1.15: Yes Men
===Alternate Universes===
====Tony Stark's Apogee Award====
In an alternate universe, Tony Stark was presented with the Apogee Award at Caesars Palace. A video biography of Stark and his father was presented to the audience, and James Rhodes presented Stark with the award. However, Stark was not there, as he was gambling instead. Obadiah Stane accepted the award in Stark's stead while Stark won a game and flirted with one of the women by describing the science of sexual attraction as though it were happening to them.
Rhodes confronted Stark and gave him the award, angry that Stark missed the presentation. Stark collected his winnings and left the table with Rhodes as people looked over at him and guards made sure to protect him. Rhodes scolded Stark for missing the ceremony, but Stark acted dismissively toward him and played another game, losing three million dollars. Stark went to the bathroom, having security keep out anyone else who needed it, where Rhodes tried to convince him to move their upcoming weapons presentation to Nevada rather than doing it in Afghanistan. They were joined by Pepper Potts, who gave Stark the phone so that he could talk to the President. Stark then left the casino with Rhodes and Potts.
====Missed Presentation====
In an alternate universe, Tony Stark received the Apogee Award at Caesars Palace. Rhodes narrated a film about Stark and the work he has done since inheriting Stark Industries from his father. Rhodes attempted to introduce Stark, but he was not present. The crowd started to look around, and Obadiah Stane ultimately went on stage and accepted the award on Stark's behalf, claiming that Stark was always working.
Meanwhile, Stark gambled in the casino and won a round, being met with cheers. Rhodes approached Stark angrily, noting that Stark would be honored if he presented the award. Stark took the award from Rhodes and lost money in another round. Stark collected his winnings and walked away as Rhodes scolded him for missing the ceremony. Stark approached Tommy and lost three million dollars at his station, angering Rhodes further. Stark then went to the bathroom, where Rhodes attempted to convince Stark to move the presentation of the Jericho in Nevada rather than Afghanistan. However, Stark insisted that the Jericho needed to be tested under true conditions. They were interrupted by Pepper Potts with a phone call from the United States President. As Stark ended the call, he threw out the award and left the casino while Potts tried to get his attention.
