Reviewer From IMDb.com:
This had to be one of the coolest shows on television. The
thing that really made it great was the pacing of the show
and its mix of the old Las Vegas and what Vegas was becoming.
The other thing that made this show what it was were the
numerous cameos of some of the brightest stars that would
appear in Vegas on a regular basis such as Dean Martin,
Wayne Newton and other members of the Vegas elite. However,
all the glitz and glamour would never have mattered if it
wasn't for the late great Robert Urich who made this role
his own. - Sargebri
