MTV's The Real World Las Vegas was perhaps the most scandalous season of this long running reality series. With some of the best roommate hookups and house dramas, set in the seductive world of Sin City, it's definitely the one collection to own if you're a fan. But there's a major disappointment: like with other DVD releases of The Real World, this one doesn't contain the outstanding soundtrack that was originally aired. For contractual rights reasons, all of that music was replaced by lifeless, generic instrumentals. Each season of The Real World on TV carefully intertwines the story with current music, featuring lyrics that perfectly reflect the mood and era in which the drama unfolds. But all this is lost on DVD, leaving the storyline just a little less punctuated and a lot less lively. The new soundtrack mix isn't as well balanced as the TV version -- sometimes the volume on the generic tracks overwhelms the center speaker dialogue. But overall, this is still a great collection to own from one of the best seasons of The Real World.

I must agree with everyone else - Vegas was the bomb! MTV picked the perfect formula for this season: 7 attractive roommates, a killer location, and lots of alcohol = mad drama and sex! This cast gets things shaking from the very first episode and it pretty much keeps on through the whole season. The whole Steven & Trishelle "relationship" going back and forth, Alton and Irulan hooking up and all of the conflict that results, Brynn's jealousy about different things and her lashing out, Frank who was the nice guy who cut loose, and last but never least my girl Arissa who was the hotheaded sistergirl from Boston who always brought the drama. The Real World is the starting point from which all of these new (terrible) "reality" shows have come and I always feel like they're completely contrived and phony but the Vegas season seemed to really give you a true look into these peoples' lives at that time. The setting was great too - I've stayed at the Palms hotel and it is one of the coolest spots in Vegas for younger people. The only negative thing I can say about this DVD is that MTV replaced the original music that they used when the show aired with the WORST, CORNIEST music I've ever heard (see the part where Brynn auditions to be a go-go dancer - the music is ridiculous!). Other than that you need to buy this DVD!

I'll first start out by saying this. I have religiously watched the Real World since it began. Along with millions of other viewers. It has been one of those captivating little shows that spark your curiousity. But, Las Vegas by far has been my favorite season. It also brought the "metaphorical" death to the real world. Las Vegas had the most beautiful cast, the most sex, alcohol, fights, and for a first, there was no homosexual thrown in the mix. (Not that I'm against any of the above listed things. LOL) But, all of those things are the cause of its death. It was just an explosion of this excess and hedonism and sense of "fakeness" that runied the real worlds that follow. Paris-sucked, San Diego-sucked, Philladelphia-sucks at the moment. I would have honestly been quite happy if the Real World would have just ended with Las Vegas. It should have been the great ending. It is an awesome mix of many things. Its over the top and I love it. When you watch it, you will believe me. The DVD set is great. And amazon.com is the best place that has the lowest price for it. I really hope that the MTV producers get on the ball and start releasing the other seasons. Enjoy this season. For it is the true last Real World.

It was ok... nothing spectacular...you seen one Real world, you basicall seen them all... made up fights, made up sex, made up ...

Gotta admit I loved this season. I live here in Vegas and have been to a couple parties up in that suite and it's, well, sweet!
The cast were party monsters with heart that actually LEARNED rather than the typical MTV gang of primadonna's who stagnate.
I'm gonna love owning this season when it comes out!

I love this dvd! its so awesome to be able to get the whole season on dvd! the first three disc are just the episodes but the fourth disc is the final few episodes and special features which includes audition tapes, house tour (same on as on the "you never saw" video), cast profiles (same as on the "you never saw" video), and special footage (about 5 minutes in length)....bottom line is, its a great buy for any fan!

3 1/2 stars

This one was worth 3 1/2, but not 4. It was just shy of that. I thought the editing was really good. I thought it was interesting that every person on this show was totally bangin, and hot. I like how a lot of the "jobs" or "tasks" in real Reality speak, was something designed to show off their HAWT bodies. I also notice this being the first RW I ever saw where sex between the participants was encouraged (indirectly, condoms in the bathrooms, double and triple showers?) and so prevalent between multiple folks throughout the season.

I wouldn't be surprised if the personality tests weren't geared to bring together potential lovers in the screening process. I saw a couple match ups that seemed quite natural.

I think this was a fine show, but I miss the "grittiness" of New York, or San Francisco. Puck was one ugly dude, but he was damn interesting. And Omarosa (I know she was on The Apprentice) wasn't exactly eye candy, if you know what I'm saying.

MC White said: Pretty good. Interesting and smokin' hot women! Yowza!

I like this season, not as much as the other seasons though. You know? Like all the other seasons have more drama, this one was more having "party Party" and wasnt as dramatizing as I wanted it to be. If they had Real World 10, or the Paris one, I would defenitely bye it.

This Is The gratest Season ever of real world i give this sh*it a five stars and two Thumbs up!!!!!! how do i know i Lived in Las Vegas For almost all my Life and i know what its realy like and the real world las vegas is correct of what we do here in Sin City
