Season 3 is a rough season for me. The producers changed the entire casino adding Lara Flynn Boyle who I found annoying as hell. These changes adjusted the format a bit, which I was not at all pleased about. 

The stories were still decent and the cast was as wonderful as ever. The new hotel, completely digitized, is impressive and the new interior built in Los Angeles is beautiful. Killing off Boyle was a save the day for the show and season three ended on a positive note. The biggest missing link for this season was Marsha Thomason who played Nesa. She has moved on to another show which of course flopped... big time.  Also missing much of the season is beautifully breasted Nikki Cox and that wonderful smile. Her role was greatly reduced in season three. Hopefully season four will have her role expanded again. 

The uncut version really is... uncut. In the shows second episode, "Fake the Money and Run", The pool side scenes are really uncut. The pool is a topless pool and it really is topless in the DVD cut added an expected dimension to the show. 

Once again the opening Elvis tune has been replaced by the same opening theme music used in the first season. It is a catchy tune but you really miss the Elvis opening. 

The quality of the DVD boxed set kicks ass. Fans will love this version of season three and will not be disappointed. 

PACKAGING 
Season 3 is probably the best looking boxed set. The cover is a beautiful silver foil with the cast on the cover and the inserts for the DVDs are white with the same cast image. They are beautiful. The DVDs are placed in the thin dual dvd cases. For some reason the set went from to a five disc set when last season had more episodes on a three disc set. 

VIDEO: 
The letterbox burn is sweet. The video is debris free and the quality kicks some serious butt this season. The colors are vibrant without fade or color distortion. 

AUDIO: 
The audio is in Dolby Digital 5.1 and rocks. The rear speakers are going to get a work out but the music and soundtrack sounds incredible through the sound system. The voices through the center channel is crisp and clear. I really enjoyed the overall effect from the boxed set.

BONUS FEATURES: 
NBC and Universal haven't issued any killer extras so far and season 3 isn't much better. But there is a cool gag reel and and a useless special. 

  • GAG REEL: From Season 3

  • In With the News: Time Lapse Photography of the Building of the New Hotel

SUMMARY: 

Las Vegas remains a favorite and given a chance I believe you will enjoy what the show has to offer.
This set rocks ass and it's definitely one for the shelves. 

Las Vegas Season 3 Rating: overall: A
