Las Vegas

I love this show! It is easily the most enjoyable hour of my week. I love it for the high-paced, fast-moving action in which it contains. I love the way it gives a large overview of the state of Las Vegas and how casino floors really operate. The cast is exquisite and full of talent. How can a show not be great with James Caan leading the cast each week? Yet, the best thing about the cast is he doesn't have to carry the show either. While his acting is supreme, he is aided by the talents of his co-stars. Las Vegas has a different storyline each week and keeps the viewer guessing as to what will be the ending in each episode. The camera use is magnificent with the use of fast-motion that really draws the viewer into what is actually happening. A great TV show to watch either by yourself or with friends and family. 10/10

Great acting and writing; bits of drama, comedy, and romance, along with outrageous yet fun story lines. For me, Las Vegas never felt worn or tired - every episode was its own story, not necessarily tying into past episodes.

Would have loved to see this series get a couple more years, but alas it wasn't in the cards (pun intended).

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.

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.

This is the best new TV series released to the networks for the 2003 season.

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 nites.

What I like best about this series is Josh Dahumel. Not only is he eye candy but a good actor, he is fun to watch and you find yourself engrossed in the show. Apparently they have built an elaborate set in Culver City to film some of these scenes, but you can't tell the real shots from the studio shots. They do a good job masking the transition when they show panorama shots of Vegas itself. I often wonder when I view this show, how big their budget is for extras because they do a good job emulating a big casino. This series is strictly entertainment and as long as your expectations are not as lofty as the other reviewer, you will not be disappointed.
