Amazon.co.uk Review
Slick, stylish, and fast-paced, Las Vegas is a high-tech hybrid of 1970s' Vega$ and 1980s' Hotel. Set in the fictional Montecito Resort and Casino, the show revolves around surveillance expert and ex-Marine Danny McCoy (Josh Duhamel, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton). McCoy reports to the president of operations and ex-CIA operative "Big" Ed Deline (the inimitable James Caan). If Duhamel is the show's charisma, Caan is the gravitas. The attractive cast is rounded out by Vanessa Marcil as casino host Sam Marquez, Nikki Cox as event coordinator Mary Connell, James Lesure as valet Mike Cannon, Marsha Thomason as pit boss Nessa Holt, Cheryl Ladd as Deline's wife Jillian, and model Molly Sims as Deline's daughter Delinda.

From the start, Las Vegas has attracted a diverse array of guest stars, from musicians, like Little Richard ("New Orleans"), to movie stars, like Sean "Samwise" Astin ("You Can't Take It With You"). Even "Mr. Las Vegas" himself, Wayne Newton, puts in an appearance ("Pros and Cons"). Other notable guests include Elliot Gould ("Jokers and Fools"), Jean-Claude Van Damme ("Die Fast, Die Furious"), and Alec Baldwin ("Hellraisers and Heartbreakers"), hot off his Oscar-nominated turn in The Cooler.--Kathleen C. Fennessy

Customer Reviews

Refreshing change
Las Vegas is fantastic. Being a fan of the CSI series and 24 I found this a refreshing change, although just as good. It is quite light hearted with some good humour and fun storylines. It is a great mix of crime solving (like CSI), security and technology (like 24), quirky but loveable characters (like Friends) and some very funny moments.

LET IT RIDE!!!
If you like your dramas slick, sexy and PURE cheese then this series is a true guilty pressure. Las Vegas has NEVER looked SO good!! James Caan rocks as Big Ed (Deline) the chief of security at a high-running casino and armed with the sexiest team in the city of sin, packs the punches episode after episode. With a long list of special guests (Alec Baldwin, Van Damme) and a budget to match, its an absolute MUST SEE!!

Competently written and produced entertainment
These episodes are enjoyable as well written stories set in a Casino in Las Vegas. They are not intended to be profound or life-changing, but as entertainment they are successful. Four episodes are enough for me.
