Series 2 of Las Vegas has less credible storylines but is packed with humour,snappy dialogue,surprises,celebrity guests, and as in series 1,what you see is a visual feast from one episode to the next.Beautiful people,beautiful locations and non-stop action make this a programme that will help you forget it's winter here in the northern hemisphere.

Great show but Awful UK transfer
Review date: 2007-03-25 Rating: 2 out of 10
If you want to buy the Las Vegas disc sets buy the US versions.
Even though this is a 4-5 years old show i felt like watching a movie from the 80's. The reason? Its the transfer; the colors, especially in this show are vivid and shiny, but the colors of the UK set is so dull you can feel the dust in your nostrils. I've bought both versions, UK and US, the difference is so clear even a 3yo can see.
Who ever is doing the transfers should respect the customers, this box set costs 3 times more of the US version but the transfer doesnt deserve it.
Infact this transfer problem applies for all of the US shows transferred for UK release. Just dont buy any US shows' UK dvd releases.

whilst serving over seas i found the little gem that is vegas an was hooked from the first episode not knowing what was round each corner and to top the lot it makes the time fly by massive tunes and actors this is for the whole family to enjoy as long as they are over 12 haha

I didnt think Las Vegas could get better but it did. the other reviewers said it all. It is not just about gambling, it is about love, life, sex, rape, violence and everything you want to see on TV these days. Plus, what I love is that unlike other TV shows, you actually get a complete plot in each series so you cant watch it form any point.
Vegas, Baby, Yeah.....

James Caan.... He's the making of this show... If you remember him in The Godfather as Sonny Corleone, you know the sort of brooding intensity he can bring to a production. Add 34 years of perfecting his craft, and you have James Caan now, perfect as Ed DeLine, the Montecito Hotel & Casino's President of Operations.
The storys can get a little farfetched at times, but the hi-tech wizardry is worth tuning in for on its own, the attempts people will make to rip off a casino in Vegas are incredible, and the stunts are top-drawer (and without giving too much away, if you want to see Jean-Claude Van Damme get the come-uppance he's been asking for in every film he's been in this is the box-set for you). Occasionally a brutal realism creeps in as well, threatening to send main characters into major freefall, but never quite finishing the trick. Also, Superman makes a entrance (admittedly in his actor guise as Dean Cain, but still, Superman....)
Another mention has to go to the music, at least 1 episode in 2 has a live act playing the show out, and every episode has music running through it that you just have to find the artist name and track title so you can own their stuff as well...
So, James Caan, outlandish storys, gadgets and tech wizardry, fantastic stunts, big-name guest stars who can usually have a laugh at themselves, great music, and fantastic looking shots both of Vegas itself and inside the casino..
Heartily recommended....
