Product Description:
The complete first season of the tv series las vegas. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 01/04/2005 Starring: James Caan Nikki Cox Rating: Nr
Amazon.com:
Slick, stylish, and fast-paced, Las Vegas is a high-tech hybrid of 1970s' Vega$ and 1980s' Hotel. Created by Gary Scott Thompson (The Fast and the Furious), season 1 includes all 23 episodes of the NBC dramedy's. Set in the fictional Montecito Resort and Casino, the show revolves around surveillance expert and ex-Marine Danny McCoy (Josh Duhamel, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton). McCoy reports to the president of operations and ex-CIA operative 'Big' Ed Deline (the inimitable James Caan). If Duhamel is the show's charisma, Caan is the gravitas. The attractive cast is rounded out by Vanessa Marcil as casino host Sam Marquez, Nikki Cox as event coordinator Mary Connell, James Lesure as valet Mike Cannon, Marsha Thomason as pit boss Nessa Holt, Cheryl Ladd as Deline's wife Jillian, and model Molly Sims as Deline's daughter Delinda.
From the start, Las Vegas has attracted a diverse array of guest stars, from musicians, like Little Richard ('New Orleans'), to movie stars, like Sean 'Samwise' Astin ('You Can't Take It With You'). Even 'Mr. Las Vegas' himself, Wayne Newton, puts in an appearance ('Pros and Cons'). Other notable guests include Elliot Gould ('Jokers and Fools'), Jean-Claude Van Damme ('Die Fast, Die Furious'), and Alec Baldwin ('Hellraisers and Heartbreakers'), hot off his Oscar-nominated turn in The Cooler.
First used in heist hit Ocean's 11, Elvis Presley's 'A Little Less Conversation' (JXL remix) is the Las Vegas theme song. On the DVD set, however, it's replaced by 'Let It Ride' on all episodes except the pilot. Also, the subtitle 'Uncut and Uncensored' indicates footage too hot for network TV, but the additions are minor. While a few seconds have been added to the more risqué sex/poolside scenes, any other changes from the original broadcast are difficult to detect. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating:  - Two Reasons Not To Buy This From A Fan
I am a fan of this show and I think the best seasons are 2 and 3. This show is truly a guilty pleasure. However, I have two very good reasons why you should not buy this DVD set or any other Las Vegas season for that matter. I just hope amazon publishes this review.
Reason 1: You can watch them free on TNT everyday (weekdays at noon). If you have a DVR, you can record them all in high definition on TNT. This show is syndicated and TNT loops the show over and over. Again, TNT shows every episode from season one to the very last episode of the last season (which by the way is the worst series finale in television history). This leads me to my second reason for not buying any of these DVD sets.....
Reason 2: It has no ending or closure. NBC, showing little care for it's fans and the network's audience, pulled this show for financial reasons. When they pulled this show, they decided not to film or air the final episodes which would have closed out the series properly. Instead you are left with a cliffhanger that never gets completed. Las Vegas fans are outraged. You can watch every season and every single episode and be wondering what happens next, only to be left with one of the worst ending ever. This show was pulled from NBC's lineup due to bad ratings. The fact that it aired on Friday nights was the very reason for the poor ratings and not the quality of the series by any means. Don't you want your DVD sets to have an ending? Since NBC will not provide fans ... Read More

Rating: - Love Las Vegas
If you like Las Vegas and Gambling you will love the footage in this season. Lots of pictures in the casino and a lot of action going on.
Characters are great.
Rating: - How did I miss this on TV?
I caught some reruns of Las Vegas on TNTHD. The characters are each very unique and intriguing. It's not a fraction as cheesy as I remember thinking it would be after watching ads for it. They even make fun of Vegas stereotypes and, at times even explain a few of the cliches. I especially think the whole Danny & Mary relationship is powerfully well written, although you'll need future seasons' episodes to get the full perspective. (Shocker haha) Yes, I ended up buying all four seasons. I love this show!
