Nevertheless, he is a tough man and doesn't hesitate to use violence to get what he wants. As the former Director of Counter Intelligence for the CIA, his past has come back to haunt him in several occasions, most recently during his daughter's wedding in "Father of the Bride Redux." During season 3, Ed was briefly in retirement until the Maloofs tried to hire him for their potential casino in Mancu, eventually Ed returned to his position when Casey Manning bought the casino.

In the episode "The Glass is Always Cleaner," she was arrested at a rave party with Sam and had to be bailed out by Mike. In her first episode, she states she is just 22 years old but later slips and says she is 25. She was fired for letting a minor gamble, but Cooper paid a $1,000,000 fine to hire her back. Piper never knew who her father was, but it was recently revealed that her father was a Marine who was Cooper's best friend during the Vietnam war. He died sometime after Vietnam. Before he died, Cooper promised him that he would keep an eye on Piper. Mike and Piper were recently married. With the help of Cooper, and Delinda she won a magazine award as Las Vegas' best concierge.

• Mitch (Mitch Longley), a regular member of the Surveillance team. Mitch, like the actor who plays him, is paraplegic and uses a wheelchair. Mitch has a recurring role from Season 1 through Season 5.

• Polly (Suzanne Whang), a manicurist in at the Montecito's spa, who has recently formed a friendship with A.J. Cooper. Polly is always open about discussing her sexual experience, such as claiming she was one of Wilt Chamberlain's 20,000 partners in "2 on 2." Sam once gave Ed a full body massage from Polly for Christmas, in which Polly attempted to give Ed a 'happy ending'.

• Kathy Berson (Rikki Klieman) The Montecito's main legal adviser and lawyer. If there are any legal issues, Kathy is the first person that everyone asks. Kathy helps Ed, Cooper, and Danny with many of their problems over the course of the show.

• Jillian Deline, (2003-2008) (Cheryl Ladd), Ed's wife and Delinda's mother. Jillian had been expressing growing resentment of Ed's time on the job, and appeared to become extremely frustrated near the end of Season 4, straining their relationship. In Season 3, it was revealed Jillian used to be a model when she was younger and that she was the only one who liked Monica. In the Season 5 finale it was revealed that Jillian has left Ed.

• Monica Mancuso (2005), (Lara Flynn Boyle), Former owner of the Montecito. She was portrayed as a self-centered and bull-headed. In the first episode of season three, it was revealed that at age 25, she married an 83-year-old billionaire and upon his death at 93, she inherited his fortune, using it to purchase the Montecito and upgrade it to its current facility. She later used the casino as collateral to try to purchase other casinos in Las Vegas. Dedicated to prove that she was more than just a woman who inherited money, she was determined to make the Montecito a success. In the season three episode "Mothwoman," she dies in a freak accident: a gust of wind blows her off the roof of the Montecito, and down the strip into a shoe store at the Wynn. Because this character was generally disliked by the other characters in the series, and typically was portrayed as a buffoon, her death was constructed mostly for humor. Casino employees disposed of her ashes by flushing them down the toilet (as per her wishes) in her suite at the Montecito. She was a waitress in the morning and a stripper at night before she married the billionaire in Ohio.

• Casey Manning (2004-2006), (Dean Cain), A shrewd and cunning businessman, Sam's ex-husband and former owner of the Montecito Resort & Casino.

In the Season four episode "Bare Chested in the Park", his character was killed off in a fishing accident: a giant squid enveloped him off the coast of New Zealand. The autopsy revealed that he was poisoned before the accident. After his death, he leaves the Montecito to Sam, who faces tax problems.

• Sarasvati Kumar (2004-2006), (Lakshmi Manchu), She is an accountant for the Casino and one time love interest of Frank (Sylvester Stallone), and later Mike. Her relationship with Mike ended officially after she went home with Delinda's bachelorette party strippers.

Crossing Jordan crossover

Las Vegas is set in the same universe as fellow NBC series Crossing Jordan. In the season 2 episode "Double Down, Triple Threat", a case brought Jordan Cavanaugh (Jill Hennessy) and Det. Woody Hoyt (Jerry O'Connell) to Las Vegas. Woody and Sam got very well acquainted and maintained a long-distance relationship. However, based on events that happened in Season 4 episode "History of Violins", the relationship seems to be off. As of the end of Season 4, O'Connell has appeared in a total of five episodes of Las Vegas. Vanessa Marcil has also appeared as Sam in two Crossing Jordan episodes. Jordan and Danny also become involved, but both agreed it was only for fun. No relationship came from it. The crossover is in part due to the fact that Las Vegas was on during Crossing Jordan's usual time during the fall since the producers of Crossing Jordan decided not to shoot any episodes while their star Jill Hennessy was pregnant. Crossing Jordan is an American television crime/drama series that aired on NBC. It stars Jill Hennessy as the crime-solving medical examiner, Jordan Cavanaugh. ...

Program information

Scheduling

The show had aired at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Mondays since September 22, 2003, but was moved to Friday nights at 9:00 p.m. following Deal or No Deal in March 2006. This move has been attributed to reports that the NFL won't allow NBC to air ads for the show during NBC's broadcast of Sunday Night Football.^{[citation needed]} This caused some doubts about the future of the show, as Friday nights are known for its low ratings. The 5th Season Premiere had a 5.8/11 rating for the first half and a 6.1/11 during the second. The show was cancelled by NBC February 20, 2008^[1][2].

Season information

The show has four complete seasons, all of them are available on DVD. The show was renewed for a fifth season on February 27, 2007.^[3] On March 2, 2007, it was announced that James Caan and Nikki Cox would be leaving the series. Caan's departure is because he wants to return to acting in feature films, while Cox's departure seems to stem from budget cuts.^[4] Tom Selleck replaced James Caan as head boss in season 5. In the final season, only 19 episodes of the originally planned 22 episode season were filmed at the time the show was cancelled. The final episode was a cliffhanger with many issues left unresolved and will remain unresolved according to TV Guide Canada^[5]. is the 58th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Campaign for Story Resolution

Shortly after the official announcement of the show's cancellation, fans of the series launched "Save Las Vegas: Operation Baby Booties" demanding a proper resolution for the series.^[6] Specifically, Danny and Delinda's pregnancy/baby, and Cooper's ownership fight for the Montecito.

The series' creator, Gary Scott Thompson has also expressed his disappointment with the abrupt ending. In a Q&A with TV Guide he states: "The strike did us in. We had three more episodes to shoot for the season, which we didn't get done. And the 'To be continued ...' was actually supposed to be the first part of a two-parter. But that's as far as we got." When asked if he holds out any hope of being a able to deliver a real ending to the fans in some form; TV movie, direct to DVD, etc., he states "This is Las Vegas; there's always hope."^[7]

Location

The location of the fictional Montecito has changed from season to season. Some of the first episodes were taped at the Mandalay Bay which is located south of the intersection of Tropicana and the Las Vegas Strip (next to Luxor). Because of its similarity to Mandalay Bay, many of the show visuals place the Montecito at the far southern end of The Strip, albeit usually across the street from Mandalay Bay on the airport side of Las Vegas Boulevard. The exact location and rotation of the building seems to vary a lot within this area, indeed the CGI zoom shots of the building exterior in the season two episode, "Montecito Lancers", shows the building in three slightly differing locations for three different shots. In Season 5, the Montecito seems to have the consistent location across from Mandalay Bay. Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino is a 39-story hotel casino on the famed Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. It is owned by MGM Mirage. ... The Tropicana Resort & Casino is located on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. ... The south end of The Strip; approximately one third of the entire Strip is represented here. ... The view inside the Luxor. ... Las Vegas Boulevard is the current name for a road that has a historic past. ...

Many of Mandalay Bay's interiors and exteriors (including its wave pool) have been used as Montecito exteriors, although (according to the Internet Movie Database) the actual set of Montecito is located at Culver Studios, in Culver City, California, so the interiors are a replica of the Mandalay Bay. These studios are where Gone With The Wind was filmed. The Season 3 set of Las Vegas has been said to be the biggest set for a TV show ever. The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is an online database of information about movies, actors, television shows, production crew personnel, and video games. ...

Gone with the Wind is a 1939 film adapted from Margaret Mitchells 1936 novel of the same name. ...

During the first season of the show, many of the Montecito's suites overlooked various parts of the middle part of the Strip, placing the hotel near where The Venetian, Flamingo Las Vegas, or The Mirage are currently, before the more consistent location at the southern end of the Strip was finalized. The bridge at the Venetian Gondola ride in the Venetian View from second floor casino balcony. ... The Flamingo Las Vegas is a hotel casino located on the famed Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, and is owned and operated by Harrahs Entertainment. ... For the band, see The Mirage (band) The Mirage is a 3,044 room hotel and casino resort located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada (though like most hotels on the Strip, it uses a Las Vegas mailing address). ...

During the first season, except for the pilot episode, the sets were built as needed for filming.

In Season 3, Ed Deline's office appears to be in the middle of the strip, overlooking Harrah's, Caesars Palace, The Mirage, and The Venetian, which puts the Montecito near where Treasure Island is located. This is inconsistent with the flyover shots of the Montecito, which would place Ed's office over two miles away. Closer examination of the window scene shows that The Mirage's marquee over their driveway has been edited to read "Montecito". In season 4, episode 2 there is a scene in Ed Deline's office where again we can see an overview of The Mirage and Caesars Palace. Again it's a confirmation that Ed Deline's office would be where Treasure Island is located. Harrahs Las Vegas is a hotel and casino located on the famed Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. ... Caesars Palace is a luxury hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. ... Treasure Island (also known as ti) is a 2,885--room hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, USA and is connected by tram to The Mirage. ...

According to an episode that originally aired in December 2005, the Montecito is located about 1.5 miles from Wynn Las Vegas. It's possible that this distance is in a straight line ("as the crow flies") as opposed to a reference to actual driving distance. This distance is inconsistent with long shots that place the Montecito near the airport and Mandalay Bay, but is in line with Season 3 visual references noted above. Wynn Las Vegas Resort and Country Club is a AAA five diamond/Mobil five-star casino resort located on the Las Vegas Strip, in Las Vegas, Nevada. ... Look up as the crow flies in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

Other episodes show aerial shots of the Montecito that make it appear to be situated at the corner of Giles St. and Reno Ave., about half a mile from Mandalay Bay.
