I tried watching that show for like 2 months when it first came out. Other than Vanessa Marcil (schwing) and Nikki Cox and all her revealing tops, that show isn't really worth a damn. Their storylines are a lot of times so off-the-wall that you just look at it and laugh. When I lived in Vegas none of the pit bosses I knew had that much glamor and excitement. To call that artistic license is putting it mildly.
A while ago, I saw a partial episode about a guy who was running low on coin and he didn't even have enough for the table limit so what does he do? He puts it in a slot and wins $1,000,000. Can it happen in the real world? Yes. Will it? Hell no! If you can watch a program without it having some basis in reality and survive off the eye candy then I point you to sabado gigante.
I watch it religiously every week. It's a great show. Some of the storylines could be a little thicker, but the acting is good, nice T&A, set in Vegas, lots of gambling, some hi-tech shit. It's good stuff. Thumbs up.
I hate James Caan but love the show. I live in Vegas and like to try to identify the local shots. Now that MNF is over, I watch the show every week, but I do have to admit that the scripts are pretty lame.
i like it....I agree the SLs can be improved b ut the public must like it. The show just got picked up for a full season next year and has been hovering around the top 20 in the ratings.
It also has the best theme song...Elvis' "Little Less Conversation!"
I will watch any show to get a couple glimpses of Nikki Cox. Her 'acting skills' are beyond compare. I fell in love with her when she appeared on that awful sit-com with the disfunctional family and rabbit that talked (voice done by Bobcat Goldwaith(sp?)) to the father who lived in the basement.
The other eye candy is also yummy. It is what is is - a T&A show. I don't care that the story lines are weak.
I have not missed an episode. As stated before, the storylines are a little cheesy, but I find the show very entertaining. Oh, by the way, Nikki Cox and Bobcat Goldthwait were actually married for 4 years. They got divorced in 2002.
OAKAS,
You've got to be kidding me? Nikki Cox and Goldthwait married? And that sit-com Nikki Cox starred in...what was that all about? INCEST? The father couldn't keep his eyes or hands off her(neither could I but I wasn't supposed to be playing her father on TV).
Each episode is truly hit or miss. Some are painful to watch, but it usually entertains me. I love the shots of the Strip where properties are suspiciously airbrushed out to give the Montecito Casino it's ficticous location.
Personally, I get to watch it weekly with the girlfriend b/c she can drool over Jake Duhamel. And by the way, anyone who is attracted to Nikki Cox's over-inflated implants needs to re-evaluate their taste. She is a DISTANT third behind Molly Sims and Vanessa Marcil.
