A difficult season, but one that cannot be missed
I really struggled with this season. It certainly was not the same without James Caan (Ed Deline). Indeed, even without Nikki Cox (Mary Connell) and Cheryl Ladd (Jillian Deline) make the show different. But these changes, and the addition of Tom Selleck (AJ Cooper) and Camille Guaty (Piper Nielsen) lend an aura of reality to the show, because people do move on...

Las Vegas Series Season 5
I bought the set hoping for the ending to the series that NBC promised, as it showed "to be continued". But, they left me hanging, AGAIN!. I am sorry that they got a cut, of the money I paid.

A difficult season, but one that cannot be missed, August 7, 2008
This review is from: Las Vegas: Season Five (DVD)
I really struggled with this season. It certainly was not the same without James Caan (Ed Deline). Indeed, even without Nikki Cox (Mary Connell) and Cheryl Ladd (Jillian Deline) make the show different. But these changes, and the addition of Tom Selleck (AJ Cooper) and Camille Guaty (Piper Nielsen) lend an aura of reality to the show, because people do move on.
As the season comes to its abrupt end, and Jillian returns for what ultimately turns out to be the last episode, it really is a reminder of what a great show this was, and how we saw the main cast develop and grow up over the last five years. The most upsetting part though is in the end when the screen goes black and say "To Be Continued", only you know that will never happen because NBC did not respect its fans enough to even let them finish that last episode. Despite this ending that will make you sad, and angry at NBC, you get to look back on the series and realize that this went from some taudry drama when it began and grew into a really special television series.

Still funny & dramatic but...., July 27, 2008
This review is from: Las Vegas: Season Five (DVD)
I love the show, I bought all five seasons and I always thought it exceptionally well cast, performed, cut and directed. So I could not wait to see the fifth season, since the fourth ended with such a cliffhanger. Alas, I was rather disappointed to find out that one of my favourite characters had quit. James Caan, who was the soul and key player of it all. Although I must admit that Tom Selleck does a wonderful job, but still, he's no James Caan. I sure don't miss the character of Nikki Cox. However what I think is appalling to all viewers: they leave us with another cliffhanger in this season and THEY AXED THE SHOW?????!!!!! How are we ever going to find out, what happens to Delinda's Baby or all the weddings, does Ed Deline reconcoile with his wife? How did Cooper survive? What will become of the Montecito? Questions and more questions and - alas - no answers. What a shame!

Still good ;-), July 1, 2008
This review is from: Las Vegas: Season Five (DVD)
I've always loved this series. It's silly yet fun and enjoyable and light too but somehow addictive. I've watched it from the start and find it still good to this day, but different with the cast changes.
In this season, we see Tom Selleck join the team as the new owner of the Montecito, AJ Cooper. Danny and Dalinda find out that they're having a baby, and he becomes the President of the Montecito. Piper and Mike wake up one morning finding themselves married (which they keep secret) and when the wedding is out in the open, Mike puts together another wedding for the sake of his mother which prompts Danny to properly propose to Dalinda.
It certainly isn't the best season in it's five year run, but it's still good if you are a true fan of the show. I really love episode 12 called I Could Eat A Horse where Danny and Mike are sent to Wyoming to buy a horse for Coopers ranch and also It's Not Easy Being Green where Dalinda is obsessed with becoming environmentally friendly.
If you've also watched Las Vegas from the very beginning, you'll probably still like this but may find this isn't it's finest work. There are still plenty of laughs and of course there's Mike and Danny who provide a lot of eye candy for us girls. I still enjoy it and hope that all Las Vegas fans will as well.

Season 5 is great!!! The series continued to rock!!!, August 5, 2008
This review is from: Las Vegas: Season Five (DVD)
Although entitled to their own opinion, Las Vegas - Season 5, doesn't suck at all. If anything, it was a step headed in the right direction until NBC pulled the plug. To make matters worse, it was done without resolving the season ending cliffhanger. The whole season was classic "Las Vegas". True fans of the show understood the "escapism" of the show. The chemistry between the characters and everything "electric" that the city of Las Vegas stands for. Plus, I really enjoyed the additions of Cooper and Piper. I thought the chemistry between Piper and Mike was fantastic!I think the charcters of Delinda and Danny truly became a married couple for life during this season. I think fans would've liked to see them as first time parents. It almost makes you wonder had the series been picked up fpr a sixth season, would Ed Deline make an appearance to meet his new grandchild? I just wish there was a way to resolve the storylines for the sake of the fans. Finally, as Sam, nobody worked any better than Vanessa Marcil. Great actress, great role!

Las Vegas Season 5, October 5, 2008
This review is from: Las Vegas: Season Five (DVD)
Season five of Las Vegas was a great continuation of an excellent series even with the loss of James Caan. I beleive that Tom Selleck was a good replacement. Pity it got the axe. Hoping they make a movie to finish the story of where season five left off. Once again thanks for the prompt delivery.

Too bad it is the last, September 23, 2008
This review is from: Las Vegas: Season Five (DVD)
Season 5 of Las Vegas starts out slow, but by the end it is as fun and exciting as the first 4. It is too bad it is the last sean because it ends with a lot of cliff hangers. They should make a movie or something to conclude the series. If you like Las Vegas you will enjoy this season.

Wish That HBO Would Pick This Show Up!, September 14, 2008
This review is from: Las Vegas: Season Five (DVD)
I loved the series Las Vegas as we live about an hour by plane and just go down there to escape from it all. (And yes. I actually DID play blackjack next to George Clooney once. LOL) It is just a completely different world full of fine dining, wonderful concerts, and fabulous hotels. I'm not a big gambler at all - in spite of the George Clooney incident, LOL, but it is a wonderful place to escape from it all. Las Vegas (the series) is a great escape as well!
I personally think that only Tom Selleck could have pulled this off after James Caan left - but was rather disappointed that they didn't develop his character more. He never seemed to have that many speaking lines if you'll notice.
I couldn't BELIEVE that after investing 5 years in this show and owning all the DVDs, that the network would just leave everyone HANGING with such an ending. I have heard that the show was outrageously expensive, but can't believe that some network like HBO won't pick it up?? And they wonder why no one watches TV anymore?? It seems as though inane reality shows are less expensive to produce!
Be prepared to be disappointed in the ending to a great series, but otherwise a wonderful show!

Las Vegas Season 5, August 30, 2008
This review is from: Las Vegas: Season Five (DVD)
Season 5 makes for good watching.
As there is no season 6, be prepared for a cliff hanger ending for season 5, and never finding out what happens! That would only be the negative thing about season 5, but of course that is not Las Vegas's fault, as season 6 was axed after they made season 5. Would love them to make an episode tying up loose ends, but I don't think that will happen!!
Other than that, great episodes, new characters and a great story line.

Great series, but the most Horrible ending of all time, August 15, 2010
This review is from: Las Vegas: Season Five (DVD)
I got into LV just this year, after seeing it each day on TNT, I started to watch and enjioy the show. I got season 5 First then went to season 1, so my prospective is abit different. I First saw the serie with Tom Selleck and thought, "not bad". I really enjoyed season 5 and it really had alot of new potential to develope. The last episode tho is a joke! Knowing the series was to be cancelled, you'd think NBC wouild have allowed one more episode to be filmed or an extra 30 mins added to the final. But to be leading up to such drama and to end the entire show with...to be continued... COME ON! I was pi$$#Ed off! I cant recall any show getting such a raw deal after 5 seasons, maybe there has been, but what a complete joke!
Anyhow...then I went to season 1 and saw the great chemistry with James Caan and the Ice Queen and so on. The show was better the first 4 season, but season 5 wasnt bad either. Season 6 wouda been great...oh well.
