Descrizione

La storia e' quella del Montecito, casino' immaginario di Las Vegas, e delle avventure del personale che lo gestisce, nonche' dei clienti che lo frequentano. La clientela viene divisa in "whales" e tutti gli altri. La definizione di whale o balena deriva dalla storia del marinaio Achab e la sua caccia alla balena. La balena diventa la grossa occasione, il pollo da spennare, o piu' precisamente nel nostro caso, il cliente molto ricco che viene a Las Vegas per scacciare la noia e che viene intrattenuto dalle hostess di casino' che si preoccupano di rendergli la vita piu' facile (e costosa) possibile. Infatti una delle protagoniste di questa serie e' proprio una hostess di casino: Sam. Donna bellissima e avida di denaro e di potere. Accanto a lei ci sono il direttore del casino', che fino alla quarta serie e' stato interpretato da James Caan e che adesso, nella quinta stagione, e' stato sostituito dopo alterne vicende, da un nuovo direttore: il mitico Tom Selleck, meglio conosciuto come interprete di Magnum P.I. Vi sono poi altri personaggi fissi, il capo della sicurezza, la responsabile della ristorazione, il responsabile di casino', piu' altri personaggi minori. Il fil rouge e' la vita privata di questi personaggi ma in realta' la serie si puo' cominciare a vedere da un punto qualsiasi, poiche' il suo fascino non e' tanto nella storia che si sviluppa tra i personaggi principali bensi' nella visione di un certo tipo di America. Il gioco d'azzardo come antidoto alla noia per alcuni oppure come opportunita' per cambiare vita, per altri.
