Las Vegas TV series

Last week I started to watch new TV serial that is called “Las Vegas”. Really amazing television series if you have free time and if you don’t have nothing to do. Maybe it is really good for the crisis time. For me, it helps to forget the everyday life, which is more stressful. Below you can read a little info about this TV series.

Las Vegas - 1 season

Las Vegas was an American television series that aired on NBC from September 22, 2003 to February 15, 2008. The show 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 series originally aired on Monday nights, though NBC later moved the series to Friday nights first to 9:00 p.m. EST/8:00 p.m. CST and then to 10 p.m. EST/9:00 p.m. CST. The show is currently in syndication and airs in the United States (on TNT). NBC announced on April 2, 2008, that the show would not be returning for the next season.

Background

The series originally centered around Ed Deline (James Caan), a strict ex-CIA officer who went from Head of Security to becoming President of Operations of the Montecito, whose job is to run the day-to-day operations of the casino. Following his departure from the series in Season 5.

Former Marine Danny McCoy (Josh Duhamel), Ed’s former protege, has become the Montecito’s new President of Operations.

Other characters that work with McCoy include current Head of Security and Surveillance, and former Head Valet, Mike Cannon (James Lesure) who plays an integral role in investigations due to his engineering degree from MIT.

Danny’s childhood friend and ex-fiancée, Mary Connell (Nikki Cox), worked at the Montecito first as Event Director then got promoted to Hotel Manager in the third season until finally leaving in the fourth season.

Nessa Holt (Marsha Thomason), the former Montecito Pit Boss and “best Pit Boss in Las Vegas” before leaving at the end of the second season to live with her sister and father.

Sam Marquez (Vanessa Marcil), a manipulative businesswoman and self-proclaimed “best casino host in the world”, has only one interest: to get high rollers to play at the casino.

Ed’s daughter Delinda Deline (Molly Sims) serves as the Entertainment Manager, and runs all the food and beverages in the casino. She is currently living with Danny after previously having a romantic connection with him early in the first season.

The ownership of the casino has changed quite a bit with A.J. Cooper (Tom Selleck) as the sixth owner. NBC recently hinted at the possibility of putting Mike Cannon (Lesure) into a spinoff of the Las Vegas series. TNT has been airing reruns of the series since early 2008. TNT and NBC have also been rumored to be in negotiations for TNT to pick up the series and air new episodes on the network.
