Las Vegas ---Television Drama 2003 – 2008
I love this
TV Series---it begins with an embarrassing when Ed Deline (James Caan)
President of Operations of the Montecito Resort & Casino
in Las Vegas--- walks in on his daughter---Delinda Deline (Molly Sims) and Danny McCoy (Josh Duhamel) making love.
Since Danny
worked for Ed Deline as one of his surveillance men it was a doubly awkward
moment when Delinda looked up and said---Hi Daddy.
Delinda did
not tell Danny she was Ed Deline’s daughter and since she had just returned home
from college he was not aware she was in the Montecito, nor, home for that
matter.
Delinda who
looks like a model is tall with long blond hair and a beautiful face with light
greenish-blue eyes. She is her daddy’s heart and anyone who even touches her is
in big trouble.
Ed Deline is
an ex-CIA officer who is in charge of running the everyday operations of the
Montecito. He is a dedicated,
hard, tough and very intelligent man. A man of connections and if one is smart one will not mess with
him. He is not afraid of anything in life---unless it has to do with his
family.
Danny was born in Las Vegas and worked for his father in his
construction business until he joined the Marines---his skills put him in Black
Ops---so he has an excellent background for
His job at the Montecito and is very good at it. Ed Deline likes
him a lot.
Mike Cannon (James
LeSure) is a brilliant MIT graduate who has degrees in Mechanical Engineering
begins as a valet worker then is promoted to Ed’s surveillance to work with
Danny. They work well together with the average discussion 0f who is the best
in their jobs. When actually they both balance out each other’s skills making
them an asset to the team.
Samantha “Sam”
Marquez (Vanessa Marcil) is has she puts it---she is the best Casino Host in
Vegas or the world. She has her “Whales” super-rich customers who she caters to
and this is how she earns her money---when they loss---she wins. Sam is a tough
cookie on the outside, but is soft and very human on the inside---which very
few people get to see this side of her.
Mary Connell
(Nikki Cox) starts out as the Special Events Director at the casino. She is a
life-long friend of Danny’s and
at one point she is engaged to him. Danny is her self-appointed protector and
feels more like a brother to her than a boyfriend.
Jullian
Deline (Cheryl Ladd) is Ed wife and Delinda’s mother. She plays a supporting
part as a wife and mother. She loves her other daughter that she and Ed raised
Nessa Holt (Marsha Tomason) who also works as “The Pit Boss” at the Montecito’s
Casino. Ed rescued her from his CIA days since her father was forced into the
CIA---and faked his own death--- which Nessa does not know about until much
later. Ed actually saved her life by bringing her home to his family to be
raised as a daughter to him and Jullian and a sister to Delinda.
