Las Vegas Review


Created by Gary Scott Thompson, NBC's Las Vegas was the sort of flamboyant ensemble series in which important plot points and details of character motivation were cunningly revealed slowly. This fast-paced, sexy drama follows the elite Las Vegas surveillance team charged with maintaining the security of one of "Sin City's" largest resorts and casinos. Las Vegas rolled into town September 22, 2003.

Television icon Tom Selleck joins the cast this year as A.J. Cooper the mysterious rancher who takes the reigns as the new owner of the Montecito Resort & Casino. Danny McCoy, an ex-U.S. Marine and Las Vegas native, (Josh Duhamel, "All My Children," "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton," "Turistas," and the upcoming "Transformers: The Movie") heads the surveillance team and deals with card-counting cheaters, costly streaks of random luck and rival casinos stealing their big-money players.

Rounding out this cast of high rollers is Delinda Deline (Molly Sims "The Benchwarmers," MTV's House of Style"), Danny's love interest and the daughter of his old boss, the Montecito's former premier surveillance chief; the previous all-knowing valet who climbed the ranks to be an integral surveillance team member, Mike Cannon (James Lesure, "For Your Love"), and the ever wheeling and dealing casino host, Samantha "Sam" Jane Marquez (Vanessa Marcil, "General Hospital," "Beverly Hills, 90210").

Welcome to the Montecito Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, where you can do anything you want... but Ed Deline and his crack surveillance team will be watching. Just remember, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...
