Advantages: James Caan, good location shots of Las Vegas, fun to watch, beautiful people Disadvantages: some storylines, acting not too hot
I came very late to the TV show "LasVegas". It never really interested me, I had watched the odd few minutes on Sky when it was on but never managed a whole episode. There are a few TV programmes I watch regularly this was not one of them.
Then, one night, unable to sleep, I caught the pilot episode. I have no idea how many times it had been on a quick turnaround repeat since it was first shown on Sky but I enjoyed it a lot. Maybe it was the lack of sleep that made me continue watching but I got hooked. In the end I bought the DVD box sets (Season 1 and 2)
WHAT IS "LASVEGAS"?
The TV show "LasVegas" tells the everyday stories of the Montecito Hotel & Casino and its staff. It is centred around the Security and Safety Staff headed by ex-CIA agent Big Ed Deline (James Caan) and his staff, mainly young and dashing Danny Mc ...
Advantages: An OK read Disadvantages: Dissappointing!!
DIVAS LASVEGAS
BELINDA JONES
I have always loved Belinda Jones books, and I have read near enough all of her books: I Love Capri, On The road to Mr Right, The Paradise Room, Out of the Blue, The Love Acadamy, Cafe Tropicana and now Divas LasVega. The only book of hers I have left to read is The California Club (and the new book which she has coming out soon).
I'm not quite sure where Divas LasVegas comes in the line of her books, it could very possibly be one of, if not, her first book.
I loved all of Jones' previous books, they have all been amazing, and have really captured my imagination, this book was very different and I must say, it isn't the best of her work.
Plot:
Izzy and Jamie have been best friends since they were little girls, for 20 years. And now at 27 they are still as close as ever ...
Advantages: Luxurious rooms, dining, fountain show, service Disadvantages: Check in and general bedm in reception.
For me only the Bellagio would do once we had decided to visit LasVegas as the second stop on our honeymoon just over two years ago. The hotel featured in the Oceans' 11 film which I loved and I was particularly looking forward to seeing that famous water fountain show.
The hotel is located roughly half way along the main Strip area in Vegas, it has an Italian theme and is beautiful to look at from the outside. It is set back from the street and the front of the building gently curves around "Lake Como". Providing it is not too windy, from 3pm in the afternoon the fountain show runs every fifteen minutes making for excellent photo opportunities and selling lots of postcards.
