Las Vegas focuses on a team of people working in the fictional Montecito Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada—dealing with issues
that arise within the working environment, ranging from valet parking and restaurant management to casino security. The
exotic locations were filled with gorgeous and glamorous characters, like the confident casino host Samantha and head of
operations Danny. How were the diamonds stolen? What's that gambler's winning secret? Who's counterfeiting the poker
chips? Anything could an happen - as long as it was interesting. And each episode offered multiple stories, cutting away
from one to follow the other. The writers seem to have mastered the secret of Vegas - that there's a special magic if the
stakes are high enough. 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. The camera use is
magnificent with the use of fast-motion that really draws the viewer into what is actually happening. James Caan is one of
my favorite actors and doesn't let us down in this role. It's a shame the show was cancelled.
