my thoughts exactly.

She looked a tad bit like Angie Harmon, but yes, she was a hottie. So hot, in fact, that when she pulled her first con, I didn't recognize her as the same woman later.

I like this show. With a place like Vegas, you have a never ending supply of stories.

Las Vegas - 11/17/03

"Luck Be a Lady", Episode #108.

A stalker disrupts a pop diva's (Sheryl Lee Ralph) performance at the hotel; Ed reunites with a former partner (Mimi Rogers); Sam tries to evict a guest lodged in a prime suite who refuses to gamble.

Cast: James Caan, Josh Duhamel, Molly Sims, Nikki Cox, James Lesure, Marsha Thomason, Vanessa Marcil, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Mimi Rogers.
Producer(s): Gary Scott Thompson, Scott Steindorff, Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank.




Another solid ep. I don't think I have disliked one of them yet.

Vanessa Marcil stole the entire show tonight when a guy squeezed her ass and she called him a "little bitch" while trying to take a swing at him.

I love everything about this show. They've done such a great job capturing all the different elements of the casino, and I like how they've built large parts of the show around a Fantasy Island style. Plus, Vanessa Marcil's been on my "Top 5" for about a decade now, so it's great to see her back in primetime. She was fantastic as usual, and that scene where the guy grabbed her ass was priceless.

Gotta say though...I was hoping this show didn't do well. That way, Vanessa would go back to GH and i'd be able to get a 5 hour fix of V spread out over 5 days instead of just one hour a week...

Oh well..

Good episode

I thought Ed's take down of Danny into an arm bar was hilarious.

The ass grab was funny too.

They made it pretty obvious Lt. Fancy was going to buy the casino.

Another good episode. I love the chicks on this show! Good action. I think that Danny chases someone throught the casino at least once in every show...

Yeah, it works out so every time Danny looks at someone, and that person has ever violated a law, he runs.

"I think I have the guy, he is wearing a white hat" and the dude bolts!

It was light and fun.

Sam's reaction to the butt-grab was hilarious. Danny holding both of them in a headlock was also funny.

Sam was really getting fed up with jumping through hoops for the 9th richest man, Brunson. I cracked up when he missed a football play on TV, and his assistant asked if he wanted him to call NBC to replay the play for him (on a live broadcast).

Ed juggling of his wife's jealousy and his CIA wife's playful come-ons was amusing.

Seeing Ed lobby for a raise in front of everyone takes balls. Watching Danny get snubbed for the handshake at the end was funny.

The rest was basically eye candy to the brim.

Another great one. Nikki Cox's cleavage was looking great in that dress.

Awesome episode last night. All the characters in this show are fun to watch and das said it best when it covers all aspects of casino life that we get to see.

I knew that the girl wasn't "officially" 21 when she won the 100 grand, but was still cool to see how they did something for her to make up for it.

I am liking this show more and more also. It is one of the shows I watch every week, along with 24 and CSI and Survivor.

That was definitely my favorite part. The funny thing is, right before it happened I was thinking "so hot, want to touch the heinie."

Las Vegas - Great Show

Just watched the first 3 episodes

have the next 4 to watch on the weekend

I really like it, nice locations, nice women, cool story

Nothing groundbreaking or original

They seem to do some very expensive camera effects for a tv show. Cool but unnecessary ?

The head dude's daughter is smokin!

I've been a fan fo Vanessa Marcil since 90210

Nikki Cox is underultilised, lets face it, it's all about the cleavage!

Token bit part Black dude, yeah he's ok

It's great tv. the fact that you are still on episode 3 surprises me. Even on BT they are up to date with the episodes des. You should be ashamed you are so far behind.

I really enjoy this show. It's not because it's a great show and most of the episodes are predictable, but it's fast paced, really slick, and looks like one of the most exspensive shows on TV. Plus, as I'm sure most people can vouch, it isn't hard to look at.

Agreed ... probably my favorite new show of the season. It's not "great" but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun.

It's like watching the O.C. without the guilt.

I feel no guilt watching either. Both shows kick ass and I look forward to them every week. They are never slow or boring and something crazy is always going on - like grabbing Vanessa Marcil's ass! Owwww!!!

Mimi Rogers played Mrs. Kengsinton in the original Austin Powers, didn't she?

...runs to IMDB...

Yep! Thought so.
