I was seven when I first saw this episode. For several weeks afterwards, my mother had to remove pieces of broken glass that I had superglued to the walls: watch the episode and you'll understand. Twenty years later I picked up a copy of the episode and saw it again. I was amazed: indeed the lines are corny; the special effects are dated; the flavors are very disco-70s; the roundhouse kicks are two feet off the ground; and the plot - well, the plot is thinner than plastic wrap. But! This is Buck at his best. This is the Buck Rogers that helped a little boy dream and made a grown man laugh.

If your answer is yes, you want to see this episode of the great series. Who knew that hero's could play cards. Watch Buck take on this Las Vegas type place, and walk away with a bundle of cash.

love the faraway shots of aluminum foil:

Do not be deceived: this is not the cult film "Vegas in Space," which offers one of the single most bizzare premises in science-fiction filmdom. Rather, it is indeed Buck Rogers as told by television land... and there is a reason the series was canceled, you know.
