Dr. Billy Grant has a Harvard medical degree -- except he was last in his class, which partly explains why he's the in-house physician at a Vegas hotel casino. Still, his vow to uphold the Hippocratic oath sometimes puts him at odds with the hotel's manager, Tommy, who's a hypochondriac to boot. Dr. Grant gets help from a nurse practitioner, while Tommy oversees casino host Vic Moore and student/blackjack dealer Veronica.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Dr. Vegas may take place in the city of sin, but casting heartthrob Rob Lowe as a can do no wrong doctor is too bonkers for viewers to believe.

It could fulfill your need for end-of-the-week glamour and escapism. But the premise is unrealistic, the exchanges are fairly awful and Randy Jackson is a canker on the dramatic profession when he attempts to play a singer's manager in the pilot.

Unfortunately, Dr. Vegas seems like a watered-down casino drink, infused with too many tired ideas and not nearly enough punch. Go to Full Review Allison Dunfield Globe and Mail 11/21/2019
[A] strange and pointless offering. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 11/21/2019
Overall lack of heart is one of the major flaws in the show. Lack of credible characters is another. It requires a generous suspension of disbelief to accept that anyone in this show exists in the real world. Go to Full Review Lesley M. Smith PopMatters 11/21/2019
[Dr. Vegas] is burdened by a shaky premise and some of the limpest lines penned this side of Coldplay's lyrics. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
