everything,
the multi player storylines ensure that the cast work and spark off each
other well and the opening episode sets things up nicely with Big Ed (Caan)
finding his right hand man Danny (Duhamel) in bed with his daughter
Delinda, of course Big Ed is none too pleased but needing Danny has to
grin and bear it, the other main players are quickly introduced from
Ed's main squeeze Mary Connell (Nikki Cox) who is an escort but soon to
be employed as director of special events at the casino to fellow
security team member Nessa "The Ice Queen" Holt (Marsha
Thomason).
The
series bears all the hallmarks of its creator Gary Scott Thompson (the
man behind The Fast and the Furious) with its flashy opening flying
camera intro and the fast paced editing, the show does move along at a
fair old pace and keeps you fully involved. We'll certainly be
looking forward to season two.

SPECIAL FEATURES?

are audio commentaries on the series pilot as well as on the episodes,
Hellraisers and Hearbreakers, The Night the Lights Went Out in Vegas and

off in a scrimmage on the set of Las Vegas pitting their respective
teams against one another. Las Vegas regulars Josh Duhamel, Nikki Cox
