Everything Old Is You Again

I'm going to have to disagree with the other reviewer and say this is one of my favorite episodes of the series. It's a stand-alone, but sometimes it's fun to just do a one-off episode. Danny finds a historic artifact from the Jubilee Hotel which used to stand where the Montecito is today. He fantasizes that he and the gang are taking over a casino in 1962, complete with a stellar mid-century production design that's the equal of any "Mad Men" visuals. We also get a nifty plot that imagines what these characters' lot in life may have been had they actually lived in that era. There's still the silly fun, such as when a revenue-generating scheme results in an idea for doing boob jobs at the hotel. But the episode doesn't ignore the racial divides of the time, either, as Mike suffers a discriminatory episode that Ed deals with in typical Ed fashion. Vanessa Marcil (Sam) as a '60s call girl is particularly hot.

Ok, I'm binging this series. I watched live during its first run long ago ans wanted to see again. I find myself seeing episodes i don't remember. So, it's been fun. However one thing I'm not a fan of is the story dragging on anything I watch. So an episode that breaks away was already a big "no" before I even watched. But another comment said to watch the opening first. And that, I was sold. It sparked my interest.

The going back to the 60s was a enjoyable ride. Seeing the characters basically create the vegas life of today was fun to see. Plus a little taste of the past we've all made famous was cool to see too!

If you're here, enjoy this one but know... it can 100% be skipped. But i think you'd be making a mistake.
