At the beginning of Spice Up Your Life, when the Cutie Map is reactivated, it briefly generates a friendship problem in Las Pegasus for Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash to solve.
Las Pegasus is first shown on-screen in Viva Las Pegasus. It is a city of bright lights and bustling activity that, like Cloudsdale, is located in the sky. Applejack describes the city as a "wild vacation spot" and "one big party", and when she and Fluttershy are summoned there by the Cutie Map, they are overwhelmed by its noises and large crowds. A wide view of the city shows a fountain plaza, tall buildings, restaurants, and carnival rides.
Most prominently featured in the episode is Gladmane's resort, a luxury hotel filled with arcade games and carnival rides. Managed by the outwardly friendly owner Gladmane, the resort's signature attraction is Pone Fantastique, a stage show with acrobatic and trained animal acts. Flim and Flam appear as two of the resort's employees, but due to Gladmane's manipulation, the two brothers are turned against one another. Following Applejack and Fluttershy's intervention, Gladmane's duplicitous business practices are exposed, and the resort falls under Flim and Flam's management.
