What to Know

Critics Consensus

Las Vegas has visual panache and star power to spare, but the series feels narratively clumsy with an ill-defined ensemble and a romantic subplot that is both icky and tiresome.

The doe-eyed Duhamel and craggy Caan quickly developed an easy, light-comic rapport that's been fun to take in. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 10/22/2018
Given how little of compelling interest happens here, one's take on the series will likely depend largely on whether one finds Las Vegas a priori a place of glamour or just a sad machine for parting suckers from their money. Go to Full Review David Bianculli New York Daily News 10/22/2018
2/4
Las Vegas has so many assets, including James Caan as its biggest-name star, that the show should be a good bet. But like casino chips sprinkled over a roulette table, the assets of this NBC show aren't being used very wisely. Go to Full Review Bruce R. Miller Sioux City Journal 01/14/2020

3/5
Viewers get the fabulous Caan in the lead role, plenty of good-natured humor, and a show that's stimulating without being an assault to the senses. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

April just April L @RT84941324 Sep 18 Las Vegas is a thrilling mix of action, love, and drama set in the high-energy world of the Montecito Casino. The storylines are fast-paced, the characters are engaging, and every episode keeps you guessing while pulling you deeper into the excitement. It’s stylish, entertaining, and addictive from start to finish See more Bryan M @RT01277202 01/18/2024 Characters were bland. Lame plot and poor directing. Hard to follow the details. Sucked the life right out of me See more Read all reviews
