There's a scene right before they meet Carlos' mom where Alan says "It's got, uh, Ted Danson and Magnum P.I. And that Jewish actor." The film he's talking about is 3 Men and a Baby, obviously referencing the characters' current circumstances.
Alan accidentally drugged the group with marshmallows meant for Teddy. Earlier on the beach, Phil tossed the bags over and Alan spent the next few seconds figuring out which bag was drugged.
There is a quick cut that shows the character winning on a $20,000 bet, while in the background, is a bet of $30. There is no table in Las Vegas that has that wide of a bet spread.
