Ramsay finds that the owner, Ken Pisciotta, micromanages his staff, and the hotel looks dated and dirty. At dinner Gordon continues to be disappointed. He is served frozen chicken kabobs with processed egg rolls and an oversized, messy chicken Valdostano. To help Ken, Gordon brings in the VP of Operations of Caesars Palace Las Vegas to educate the staff on how to make customers feel welcome. Ramsay decides that the hotel could benefit from a woman's touch, and encourages the owner (who is single and rarely leaves the hotel) to get out and mingle. Ramsay acts as his "wingman" and arranges for him to meet a woman and get her phone number. Changes to the inn include a new sign outside, updates to the guest rooms, lobby and check in area.
