Professional [[Mixed martial arts|MMA]] fighter Jason "the Kid" Malone is bribed by the [[casino]] owner and powerful [[Mafia]] boss Don Frank Veliano to take a dive in a match against Pietro Holston. Frank told Jason to fall in the fourth round but Pietro falls before Jason can take the dive. As a result, he is chased by Frank and his henchmen before Karen Olsen, the accountant and bodyguard of Vera "Leatherface" Montello, arrives and helps him escape. Jason later works for the Montello queenpin, Karen and Eric (more commonly known as "E-Man"), a pimp and drug maker-dealer, mostly in causing chaos against the Velianos. |

Frank and his henchmen later storm Montello's celebration, capturing Jason and forcing him to work for the Velianos, including Benny, Frank's right-hand man, and mayoral candidate Rev. Winston "Preacher" Goodman. Jason steals a boat, a seaplane and a [[helicopter]] for the Velianos, alongside fighting the Huevos, a [[Hispanic]] street gang. After crashing the Huevos' party, however, Jason finds out that the Velianos have kidnapped Karen and are forcing Vera to hand over her strip club, Fire and Vice, to Frank in exchange for Karen. |

Jason helps the Montellos save Karen by stealing wire-tapping devices from a military base and planting it to pinpoint Frank and Karen's position. He later joins Eric and Vera to raid Frank's casino, where Karen is held. They then rescue her and escape Frank's soldiers, but at the cost of Vera sacrificing herself to stop reinforcements out of remorse, having also bribed Pietro to lose the MMA fight that led Jason being chased by the Velianos in the first place. |

Enraged by Vera's loss, and the truth that Frank ordered her father's murder, Karen wants Jason out of the Mafia war. Jason saves her again from Veliano, convincing her to accept his help. Karen kisses Jason (it is also possible they make out in Jason's Whiptail, as the scene is faded out) before reclaiming the Fire and Vice from the Velianos. Jason later sabotages Frank's villa, and uses the media, the only business in Vegas not controlled by Veliano, to mock the [[Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department|LVPD]]'s incompetence, them being under Velianos's payroll. |

Finding that Benny has been arrested, Frank seeks to remove him from his system. Jason rescues Benny as Veliano's mob intercepts the police convoy. Benny has photos of Goodman's debauchery, who Jason then used to blackmail Goodman to turn against Veliano. Cornered and betrayed, and with the [[FBI]] on his tail, Frank tries to flee Las Vegas with his money. Jason confronts him on the Wrecking Ball Hotel Casino Tower with a helicopter, only to have Frank shoot at him, puncturing the helicopter's fuel tank in the process. Jason defeats Frank in a fistfight, but the latter pushes the trolley of money onto him, almost making him fall off the building. Jason lights up the petrol and throws it onto Frank, setting him on fire, causing Frank to fall and be killed by impalement on the fountain below. Jason then parachutes onto Karen's car and drives away as the local crowd celebrates Frank's death. |
