Question:

Across
54 Be victorious in Vegas
is the same description as 20 across but the same answer doesn't quite fit. Strike and rich would fit, but the "it" doesn't.

Yeah, just noticed that. UTM got it, but that doubling of clues is kinda dumb. Next time I'll try to pick a puzzle without doubles.

Random side note: I'm not going to continually bump the thread with four word posts detailing incorrect answers since...well...it gets annoying to me and others, I'm sure. I'll just update the pic with correct answers.
