Disadvantages: some storylines, acting not too hot

...& Convention Cannel) and explains the history of Las Vegas from its humble beginnings 100 years ago to all the corporate dealings you have now. There are a number of episodes with audio commentary but it is only interesting if you are a big fan and while I love listening to the commentary on shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, here I found it very irritating and not very informative. The only bit of information that came out of the commentary in the pilot episode was that the character of Mary was supposed to be a 'working girl' but she became a special events organiser instead - not quite the same but I don't think US audiences would have taken to a prostitute as a main character in a TV show.

...For those of you who read my review of Season 1 of Las Vegas (thanks by the way!) will know that I borrowed Season 1 off of a friend and loved it and so a week later I borrowed series 2 - well, now a week later I have finished that series too! (what am I gonna watch now?........). 'Las Vegas' is set in and around the Montecito Hotel Resort & Casino located on the Strip in Las Vegas and the people that work there. Season one was mainly focused on the surveillance and security staff but Season two sees a lot of the other characters coming in to their own. ♠♣♥♦♠♣♥♦♠b 27;♥♦♠♣♥♦ The Main Characters: ♠♣♥♦♠♣♥♦♠ ;♣♥♦♠♣♥♦ Big Ed Deline (James Caan...
