Loading … Rent Movie.com movie reviews presents Las Vegas review a 2003 series starring Steven DePaul, Jefery Levy, Nikki Cox - Welcome to the Montecito Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, where you can do anything you want… but Ed Deline and his crack surveillance team will be watching. Just remember, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas… 
Montecito Casino & Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada. Ed Deline (Cann) and Danny McCoy (Duhamel) works on the surveillance team of the casino. Since we are talking about Las Vegas, there is a lot of work to be done: Looking for cheaters, hosting and protecting the famous and the “whales”, and taking personal care of those who win too much. 
Equal parts drama, slapstick comedy, and soap opera, this third season of Las Vegas is all fun. Welcome to the Montecito, a casino and hotel that’s so desirable that the only thing more attractive than its clientele is its smoking-hot staff. Each episode contains some kind of crime–a victim whose kidney was stolen, a woman pretending to be a deceased man’s fiancée, an employee who chops off his own finger and serves it up in a shrimp cocktail. That kind of thing. It’s up to Ed (James Caan) and his surveillance experts Danny (Josh Duhamel) and Mike (James Lesure) to make sure everyone plays nice. Also included in every episode is a bit of Love Boat-style shenanigans. Everyone has slept with each other but is too cool to admit to the object of their affection how they really feel. And the season ends with the double cliffhanger of a wedding and, possibly, a funeral for two of the principal characters. 
Television s hottest drama, Las Vegas is back with all 24 episodes of the thrilling Second Season, and the stakes are higher than ever! Rejoin the red-hot surveillance team of the Montecito Resort and Casino as they take on more card-counting crooks, uncover secrets from the past, solve murders and teach topless employees how to move all while maintaining security 24-7. It s Sin City action like you ve never seen before with guest stars Sylvester Stallone, Alec Baldwin, Jill Hennessy, Jon Lovitz and more, plus musical performances by Snoop Dog, Clint Black, Duran Duran and Black Eyed Peas in Dolby 5.1 Surround. Bonus features include outrageous bloopers and outtakes too racy for TV and an inside look at the VIP treatment lavished on Las Vegas s highest rollers. The complete Season Two of Las Vegas is now on DVD uncut, uncensored and ready for action! 
Caan is a joy to watch as he chews up the scenery. Interviewing a prospective new employee, he admonishes the recruit to never again refer to him as “Mr. Ed” if he wants to be seriously considered for the position. In a sly nod to his work in The Godfather films, Ed also says he has no idea who Sonny Corleone is. While Duhamel and Lesure exude charm and charisma, as does Vanessa Marcil as the Montecito’s feisty casino hostess, some of the other actors don’t fare as well. 
Supermodel Molly Sims, who portrays Ed’s daughter Delinda, is a beauty but her acting is still a little stiff. The same goes for Nikki Cox, who plays good girl Mary, as well as Cheryl Ladd (who’s saddled with a thankless role as Ed’s somewhat annoying wife). Airing during the 2005-2006 television season, Las Vegas attracted its share of celebrity guest stars, including Dean Cain, Rachael Leigh Cook, and a charming Jerry O’Connell, who reprises his Crossing Jordan character here. But leave it to Lara Flynn Boyle to add some umph to the show. Her final episode is one of the series’ most unrealistic ever–but also one of the funniest and most memorable. Let’s just say she gives the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz a run for her money. –Jae-Ha Kim
