Advantages: James Caan, good location shots of Las Vegas, fun to watch, beautiful people Disadvantages: some storylines, acting not too hot
...hotel and casino and into Las Vegas itself.
There are storylines that are funnier than others and can bring some comic relief when the going gets tough. A foreign chef is funny when not over-used, relationships can be fun if they show how ridiculous the whole Las Vegas scenario is. I know how easy it can be to simply forget everything, throw caution to the wind and just simply go with the flow and do silly things. So I can imagine the stories they ... ...you have ever been to Las Vegas you will recognise a lot of the sights and places. While the Montecito is a fictional hotel/casino, the pilot episode was shot in large parts directly in Las Vegas - the Mandalay Bay to be exact.

A "Normal" episode of Las Vegas normally includes someone trying to con/cheat the casino, and big ed and danny trying to stop them. But there is also great side storylines involving the other main characters which are normally quite light hearted and quite ...
