Season Information:
Las Vegas has five seasons, which all of them already available on DVD. In the last season, only 19 episodes of the originally planned 22 episode season were filmed at the time the show was canceled. Although many fans give a good reviews for this series until its final season, the ending left with many unresolved issues and still unknown whether this series will be continued in the future.
The main cast itself was renewed at the end of fourth season. The Montecito big boss, Ed Deline was replaced by A.J Cooper (Tom Selleck) because James Caan wants to return to acting for big screen. Nikki Cox also left the series, rumored because of a budget’s cut.
