Las Vegas

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.

It was good years ago and still is. It has held up quite well.

Las Vegas is a criminally underrated show! Is it believable? Absolute not. Is it extremely entertaining? Without a doubt! It has something for everyone...action, drama, comedy, romance, etc. I forgot just how much I loved this show!

Las Vegas was such a criminally underrated show! It follows the surveillance and security team of one Las Vegas' biggest casinos. They have to deal with criminals, card counters, big winners, cheating, rival casinos trying to pry their big money players away from them, among other things. Some (or even most) of it is completely ridiculous but that won't stop you from having a great time watching this show. You just have to turn your brain off. Is it believable? Absolute not. Is it extremely entertaining? Without a doubt! It has something for everyone...action, drama, comedy, romance, etc. I forgot just how much I loved this show!

The actors have all been very well chosen for their roles and it's pretty obvious the age range the producers are predominantly appealing to. But as an approaching 50, I still think it's excellent entertainment. The fast finger snapping pace that all the shows are coming out with these days keeps the tension and the viewer gets so caught up in the pace that any gaffs or gaps in the plot are easily ignored.

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.

I hope the show runs for a long time to come.
