Ralph Lamb wants to be left in peace to run his ranch, but Las Vegas is now swelling with outsiders and corruption which are intruding on his simple life. Recalling Lamb's command as a military police officer during World War II, the Mayor appeals to his sense of duty to look into a murder of a casino worker – and so begins Lamb’s clash with Vincent Savino, a ruthless Chicago gangster who plans to make Vegas his own.

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
mypokkemon We just finished watching the first season of Vegas and I cannot believe it only had one season. The actors are superb and the plot is captivating. The ending left us wanting more and it is set up so beautifully for another season. Great writing and direction. Bring it back please!
SnoopyStyle Ralph Lamb (Dennis Quaid) is a no non-sense local rancher and a former Army MP. He is pressed into serving as sheriff in the wild unruly new town of Las Vegas. It quickly becomes a family affair as both his brother Jack (Jason O'Mara) and his son Dixon (Taylor Handley) are deputized. On the other side, Vincent Savino (Michael Chiklis) comes to run a hotel and casino for the Chicago mob. Johnny Rizzo (Michael Wiseman) is the mob wiseguy in charge, and Vincent's pain in the neck. Mia Rizzo (Sarah Jones) tries to prove herself to her father.The possible subject has deep depths of sex, crime, mob, gambling, and violence. The problem is that it makes it look so mundane. This is probably the curse of network TV. I can imagine this show being amazing if it had been on cable. Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis have the acting chops to power the show. But instead of shocking, it's mostly soapy.
john-h1961 Vegas is the only major network show I anticipate watching. It is nice to see some entertainment aimed at more adult viewers. I love Las Vegas and I enjoy watching a show about the 'early' days of Vegas. Dennis Quaid is one one of my favorite actors and Michael Chiklis does a great job also. One of the nice features of the theme is the fact that there are so many potential stories and plot possibilities. CBS - please do not cancel this show. It deserves a good run. One of the features I enjoy is the on-going theme of plot line and character continuity (soap opera style) and the sub story theme of a separate crime that occurs and is solved within one show.
blondinis I respectfully suggest that 3 members of a family, all who live on a ranch together, would not be likely to wear 3 different hat styles in the American West. Rancher-turned-sheriff Ralph, purportedly a former rodeo competitor, wears a pinch front (not a rodeo man's style), his brother, also a rancher, wears a cattleman (spot on for a rancher), and Ralph'S son sports a bull rider crown, but I am not aware of his claiming any rodeo experience.A hat is not just apparel in the West, it says who you are, what you do and where you are from, so I would expect these fellows to all wear the same style hat. I like the show, but it is distracting in this era of authenticity to see such a mistake in what you call "wardrobe," but I call "gear!" Perhaps it is time to engage an expert on Western customs.
