Las Vegas (2003–2008)
All style, no substance
17 February 2005
This TV show about the inner workings of a casino is less interesting than it sounds. The show follows a security team and their lives working at a major Las Vegas casino, and instead of examining the gritty underworld of the city of sin, it try's to make Las Vegas look like an exciting place where dreams come true. The security team are a pleasant bunch of people who will help police with a murder investigation or for no reason at all befriend and help residents of the casino with their problems. James Caan probably gives the best performance on the show as the big boss but is nowhere enough to save this show. Constant computer effects and strange camera angles try to keep up the momentum of this show, but with the clichéd script maybe they should have called this show "Reno"

If you are interested in some good movies set in Las Vegas check out "Casino" "The Cooler" or "Leaving Las Vegas" and don't bother with this tourist brochure.
