Description of Las Vegas - Season One Uncut & Uncensored:
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
Las Vegas - Season One Uncut & Uncensored Reviews:
Slow delivery but product good 
2009-10-26 - The product ordered was in good condition but the delivery was extremely slow. Wondering why the US postal service is being used instead of United Parcel Service or FedEx. Otherwise the product ordered was in excellent shape.
Chemistry of this show
2009-09-12 - I am definitely a Las Vegas show fan. I normally don't watch many TV series shows at all. Most series come and go without me seeing a single episode. I started watching this one by accident and have now watched most every one (through renting them as I never seemed to be able to be consistent at watching it on TV regularly). The chemistry between characters stood out to me and it was one of the things that attracted me to it. I just don't see chemistry between characters like that very much at all and it's quite refreshing to watch. The show was very well done and entertaining and ranks up there with the best series I have seen to date. I was so bummed it got cancelled, it was one of a kind and I will surely miss it.
Great show-Sorry to see it Go
2009-09-10 - This show has all of the action, drama, suspense, and mystery that you can pack into an hour long t.v. show along with some great sites mixed in. A must see.
Love It!
2009-09-04 - I am a huge fan of TV and Las Vegas is one of my favorites! Great Story and great Characters!
I Love Las Vegas And Their Great Night Clubs & Deals!
2009-06-15 - For all of you waiting for a great drama that has nothing to do with boring tv then this is the dvd for you. Las Vegas is positively the best show on television it has a little bit of everything for everyone even if you're not a fan of drama's.
It's got drama, action, comedy, suspense, sex appeal, and there is no end to the list of celebrity guest guest stars from Alec Baldwin, to Jon lovitz, to Mark Magrath, just to name a few.
I will be in Las Vegas next week by the way. I am looking for a cheap flight and some great lasvegasnightclubdeals . When I say lasvegasnightclubdeals I mean cheap. I will be at Rain, and Ghostbar and hope to score some VIP las vegas night club passes and deals.
Anyway, the dvd is great and I will purchase the set.
