Trivia:

When the series debuted in 2003, it was hounded by critics who said it wouldn't last very long. For the 2004-2005 season, it was the only show NBC renewed for a second season.

Goofs:

Errors in geography: Exterior images of the Montecito place it at the South end of Las Vegas Boulevard near Mandalay Bay while most interior shots (noticed through the windows) place it closer to the North end of Las Vegas Boulevard near The Mirage and The Venetian.

Quotes:

Barnett: Your boss and I go way back.
Big Ed: Way back, huh? What are you, 12?

Slow starting...but addicting

I absolutely love "Las Vegas!" The fast-paced workings of a casino is very exciting, even if at the beginning the story lines were a tad trite. For me, it was Josh Duhamel's star quality that kept me enthralled with this show. I was disappointed to not see more of a storyline for Vanessa Marcil's character, Sam. It's obvious that Ed Deline, played by James Caan, is the star of the show, and Cheryl Ladd's guest spots as his wife are always fabulous. I'd like to see more character development, and more stories that take you through the whole season instead of being wrapped up in one episode. It would also be great if they could bring another guy in, like Danny, to spice up the possibilities for the girls. The team work and star power on this show is amazing. I can't wait to find out what happens this season when Danny comes back from Iraq... will he finally figure out that he should be with Mary? By the end of Season One I was as hooked as I am to "Alias." All I can say is that if you give this show one episode's worth of a chance you will find yourself hooked.
