Vegas Premieres on CBS

By Terri

Vegas premieres last night on CBS. The series is about a tough cowboy in 1960s Sin City. Mobsters move in to town and Las Vegas experiences growing pains. Dennis Quaid, "Ralph Lamb" is tasked with keeping order in the chaos. According to CBS, the series is inspired by real-life former Las Vegas rancher Ralph Lamb.

Jason O' Mara plays "Jack Lamb". Michael Chiklis, "Vincent Savino," runs a Casino. Carrie-Anne Moss, "Katherine O' Connell" is the Assistant District Attorney. According to IMDB, James Mangold directs. Greg Walker and Nicholas Pilleggi write.

On the premiere, Katherine announces the governor's niece is discovered dead. Lamb is brought in to investigate because he solved a series of grisly murders during the war. In a turn of events, the sheriff is found dead in the same place the first body was discovered. Ralph Lamb becomes the new sheriff. 

I like the show. There are "mobsters" in 1960's Las Vegas

According to the L.A. Times, a special 1960s set was created for filming. Vegas, is filmed in Santa Clarita, in Los Angeles County not in Sin City. The set cost $1.8 million. 

Vegas is on Tuesdays at 10/9c.
