Slaves of Las Vegas

When the naked body of a woman is found in a sandbox at a playground, Grissom, Catherine, Nick and Brass investigate the case. They find that the woman had well-treated nails, hair, skin and teeth, and had also high-quality breast implant. They succeed to identify the woman, Mona Taylor, and go to the place where she worked. They find an S&M club and meet the manager Lady Heather that explains that Mona was a switch, capable to play on both S&M roles. Further, sometimes she worked for herself, dealing directly with the client. Meanwhile, Sara, Warrick and Detective Sam Vega work in a robbery of a check-cashing store, where the carrier was shot in the leg. They learn that his work was a routine and the store has insurance. Soon they investigate the evidences and follow a lead.

"Slaves of Las Vegas" is an interesting episode of "CSI", showing the kink S&M world of many common persons. The character Lady Heather is more than a psychologist to Grissom, learning his inner fears after a few contact with him. The other storyline about a robbery shows the work of efficient investigators that find the thieves. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Escravas de Las Vegas" ("Slaves of Las Vegas")

Lady Heather makes her first appearance here. She runs an S&M place and is interviewed because one of her girls has been savagely murdered. The CSI's, Grissom in particular, are in an element that is new. Once again, there are several layers of deceit. It is the male that is really interesting here; one who allows himself to be tortured or to torture. Grissom begins to form a bond with Lady Heather, an uncomfortable (for him) one. Well done episode going forward.
