LAS VEGAS season 4 picks up directly from the final episode of the last season. Did Ed get shot? Is he alive? Ok well it's a minor spoiler to tell you he is alive as he clearly stars in the rest of the season! The episode does however launch Ed into a mini story arc that lasts into the next episode.

Also this season sees Danny and Delinda firm up their relationship and move in together with lots of humour thrown in along the way. Delinda also gets into deep water, or rather sand, when she is buried alive in a box in the desert in an effort to extort money from Ed and the casino. In a tense double episode the adventure really gets going as Danny, Mike and Ed work to rescue Delinda and beat the bad guys.

Mary's past comes back to haunt her when she is asked to testify against her father as the story goes a little deeper into events that have really only been hinted at previously, and in other events her character is developed a little more on her own as Danny's relationship with Delinda is now made more permanent.

Mike remains very much the single guy when it comes to flirting with the babes and Sam continues to amuse us with her antics although things get very serious at the end of the season when she is kidnapped by a client who turns out to be a psychomanic.

All in all this is the most enjoyable season of Las Vegas yet and if reports are true the last one for James Caan (Ed) and Nikki Cox (Mary). Josh Duhamel (Danny) seems the natural star of the show and continues to deliver humour along with the action scenes. Although I would like to see more action orientated episodes in the series, the hot girls, both the regulars and the extras just walking about on set combined with the shows sense of humour and the fact that it doesn't take itself too seriously, continue to make LAS VEGAS great fun to watch.
