Hare and Loathing in Las Vegas is a 2004 Looney Tunes short directed by Peter Shin and Bill Kopp.
Plot[]
Bugs is living in his rabbit hole just outside of Las Vegas, when Yosemite Sam builds a casino over it. Being given the option to gamble or get out, Bugs tries his luck. At every game he plays (blackjack, roulette, slots) he seemingly cannot lose, much to Sam's consternation. By the time he leaves with a sum total of $8,042,123,297.55, (plus more after using Sam as a slot machine) Sam is down to his last quarter. He reprimands a group of people he believes to be cheaters, telling them that lucky medals, four leaf clovers, horse shoes or rabbit's feet are not allowed, and realizes he's been "duped" by Bugs.
Bugs has meanwhile used his new found riches to buy a luxury hotel suite. Sam follows him shooting and Bugs is forced to win a prize car to outrace him; Sam meanwhile drives a giant boat, complete with cannons. The two race out of Las Vegas (turning the French flag on the Eiffel Tower into a white flag) all the way to Hoover Dam. There is a conveniently placed slot machine, which Sam uses his last quarter to play. He "wins" and the screen reads H2O, causing the dam to burst.
Sam phones Bugs, who is atop the now empty dam, to tell him, "I hate you, rabbit." Porky says "That's all folks!"

Notes[]
- The cartoon was never released theatrically due to the financial failure of Looney Tunes: Back in Action; it received a direct-to-video release as part of the Australian DVD edition of Back in Action (from which Sam reprises his role as a casino owner).
- Bugs is voiced by Joe Alaskey in this cartoon and Sam is voiced by Jeff Bennett. Additional voices are provided by Billy West, Maurice LaMarche and Tress MacNeille.
- The title is an obvious parody of Hunter S. Thompson's book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and the eponymous film.
