Loved it, sad to see that it was taken out with out a good finish to the show it deserves it!Josh does a great job as Dannyand Tom puts new blood to the series after James Caan left.NBC should make another season or a movie just to end it.If I had any criticism at all, it would be that Nikki Cox is a little too well endowed to trust all that cleavage to the benevolence of gravity.The writing is interesting, characters got developed this season, plot lines were intriguing, and there was comic relief. Check out this show if you have not already seen it on Monday night's.

For the most part Las Vegas was a big success that shows what goes on in the inside of a casino. This series had the three major themes Action, Drama, Humor, along with the occasional romance with the perfect mixture of sexiness. The theme song for the first four seasons matched the over all speed of the show. It is because of this that everything fell into sequence. The theme song setting the pace for the show was a good attention grabber to hook the audience and real them in. The only time in this series that I began to lose interest in this show was in the 5th season where they changed the theme song. The new theme song gave the show a off center balance. When the show got rid of the most prominent character in show the mood and the interest was sucked out of me to the point where I almost stopped watching. The only thing that kept me watching is the hope that I would see the wedding of Mc. Coy and Deline or the anticipation of whether their baby is going to be a boy or a girl. If I would have known that it was going to end with a giant cliff hanger I would have stopped watching two episodes into the 5th season. but that wasn't all that was wrong with the 5th season. After the first episode it seemed like they just ran out of cool Ideas, got lazy and replaced them with comedy that had too much effort put into it. Over all this is a good series with the exception of the 5th Season. Therefore I give Las Vegas an 8 out of 10 cause it had my attention hooked for 8 tenths of overall length of the show.

NBC produced 5 seasons of a really entertaining show about a Las Vegas casino and the people who work in it. The show did very well at mixing dramatic and comedic moments in the show.Danny, Ed and Mike all work in the surveillance department of the casino and their job is catch people trying to run scams and possibly rob the casino amongst other things.Sam is the casino host who's job is to basically take care of whatever "the whales" need while attending the casino.Mary is involved in all things hospitality related with the casino.Delinda runs the night club in the casino, she is the daughter of Ed.

This show started out as quite an enjoyable show for the first few episodes and then I saw a pattern develop among the story lines.James Caan woodenly acted the same character over and over again. He shows no emotion and acts the same whether he be angry, happy or sad. In fact I never knew when he was angry, happy or sad because there was no change in his facial expression. His favourite saying is "whadaya gut." I believe it translates into the question "what have you?" or "what do you have?" although it barely sounds like English. He says it at least twice an episode.For the entire first season I didn't know exactly who the four women were, what they did or what their names were. It took me till the second season to learn what Nikki Cox's character's job was and to be honest I'm still not entirely sure. James Lesure's character chops and changes throughout the show: he's an engineering graduate who works as a valet and then moves into security. After that we never see any more of the valets. It was incredible (in a bad way) just how much of a renaissance man his character actually was.I lost count of the number of times the casino was bought and sold and by whom. Sometimes the owners were never seen and other times the owners took a direct role in running the place. I remember one episode where one of the players who turns out to be a cheat said to Vanessa Marcil's character "I don't know what a casino host is." After watching the first season I still didn't know what one was or what her actual job was for that matter.The people who play at the casino generally fell in either one of two categories: nasty cheats who are always portrayed as vile, evil etc; or lovable idiots who end up losing all their money and at whom the main characters laugh.Celebrity guest stars were used far too often in this show obviously in an attempt to gain cheap ratings. It was laughable the excuses they gave for their being in the casino.The show never made me care for the characters and I found myself wanting James Caan and his lanky sidekick Josh whatever-his-name-is to lose every time they were in a fight or getting shot at. Apparently, anyone who actually wins in a casino, unless he or she (usually he) be a lovable idiot, is always cheating no matter how complicated it is. One quote from "Danny" made me laugh. In the third season episode "Mothwoman," Danny says to a man who has been using an autistic man to count cards "the only one thing I hate more than liars is people who take advantage of the less fortunate." Excuse me, "Danny" but don't casinos do just that? People gamble their money away because they're "less fortunate" and want to be rich or want money to pay bills and end up worse off. Hypocrite. "Danny" also makes fun of an old woman who uses a Zimmer frame in the fourth season episode "Wines And Misdemeanors." He bets Mike that she won't make it to some performance in 35 minutes because she walks so slowly. What a nasty piece of work he is.Every female character in this show is Hollywood-beautiful which means they all look like plastic surgery addicted skinny models who mostly have big breasts. Here's a little game to play while watching an episode of this tripe: count the number of times the women say "hot" when referring to a man in the casino (except Marsha Thomason's character because she has an English accent). On average it's about three times per episode and as they say it in an American accent it sounds like "he's hut." It's cringe worthy. Molly Sims' character was supposed to have a "genius IQ" yet I saw no evidence of this as she was just another sex-obsessed maniac who lusted after every "hut guy." On the subject of Marsha Thomason's character: did anyone else wonder why her hair style seemed to change on an almost daily basis?I was surprised that the surveillance team never had any lawsuits filed against them. They punched and kicked people and broke various bones and were never charged with assault. They should have been.I would have liked to have seen fewer celebrity appearances; more dark episodes where there isn't a happy ending as opposed to 99% of the episodes that had a happy ending wherein everyone is safe and happy; and I would have liked to have seen more gambling as there was surprisingly little gambling for a show about a casino.
