Vegas was a period drama that ran on CBS during the 2012-2013 TV season.It's 1960 and Las Vegas is experiencing a major growth spurt. Mayor Ted Bennett is about to unveil his new vision for the city when he is informed that the governor's niece has been murdered and the sheriff is nowhere to be found. Desperate, the mayor asks that local rancher Ralph Lamb (Dennis Quaid) be brought to him. During World War 2, Lamb served as a military policeman and Bennet remembers how Lamb was able to catch a serial killer in Italy when the villagers were ready to hang an innocent man for the crimes. Bennet offers to appoint Lamb as deputy sheriff and put him in charge of the murder case. A reluctant Lamb accepts the job and recruits his younger brother Jack (Jason O'Mara) and son Dixon (Taylor Handley) to help him investigate. Assistant district attorney Katherine O'Connell (Carrie-Anne Moss) assists them with the case.That same day Chicago mobster Vincent Savino (Michael Chiklis) arrives to take over the mob-run Savoy casino. He is a ruthless gangster with extensive experience running casinos and his Chicago bosses expect him to get their Las Vegas operations back into shape.When the previous sheriff is found dead, the mayor tells Ralph Lamb that he is the new sheriff for law and order in Las Vegas and Clark County. | |

Can't Kill You, Still Need You | |
| Vegas (2012) / int_1206d299 | comment |
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: When Lamb busts a mobster for illegal gambling, he calls a council demanding Lamb be killed. Savino says he has no problem with it ("hell, I'd probably enjoy it") but doing so risks bringing the FBI and gaming commision down on them. More importantly, it means two dead sheriffs in a month and that will be a blow to the tourist trade and their profits. Thus, the council reasons they have to let Lamb live for now. Invoked by Savino when he's accused of killing a local construction boss. Savino points out that the man was the only guy in Vegas who could handle major jobs and thus he, and many other casino owners, are losing money with his death. Indeed, Savino actually gave the guy a break for skimming from the mob because of his importance. Going to meet what they think are a simple band of ranchers, Savino and Rizzo are beaten down by a pack of wealthy Mormons who have basically controlled this area for decades and are ready to treat the mobsters like any other threat. Savino points out that progress is causing these men to lose their farms and resources and their way of life is almost over. He says that if they want power in modern Vegas, they need control of a casino. When the Mormon leader says he doesn't know anything about running a casino, Savino offers to do it for him. | |

Poor Communication Kills: When Jones comes to Vegas to find out what happened to Cornaro, Savino tells his men to park Cornaro's car at the airport so it looks like Cornaro skipped town. The problem is that the mobster who got rid of the car never told anyone what he did with it and has since left Vegas. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones | |
| Vegas (2012) / int_63d861f8 | comment |
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Savino may be a mobster and cold-blooded killer but he's also a good husband and truly loves his kids. When Savino faces execution by a rival, the closest he comes to begging is asking that his body at least be left in enough shape for his family to have an open casket funeral. Indeed, Savino is eventually forced to send his wife away because he knows as long as she's in town, she'll be either a target for enemies or risks becoming "collateral damage" in an attack on Savino. One episode opens with Savino and his men threatening a local construction group with harm for possibly skimming money off their contracts. As soon as the threats are finished, the mobsters gab about Christmas shopping for their families with their Jewish accountant joking that they have only one night to worry about while he has to shop for eight. | |

Corrupt Cop: The former sheriff was working for the mob. Although he was willing to back out and tell the federal/state government. | |

Pointy-Haired Boss | |
| Vegas (2012) / int_dc3b74bc | comment |
Pointy-Haired Boss: Savino's bosses like to meddle in the way he runs the Las Vegas operation without really understanding how to operate a large legal casino. When Mia Rizzo tells her father that Savino shot down her idea to make the blackjack tables more profitable, Rizzo Sr. makes Savino implement the idea against his objections. Savino then explains to Mia that the idea has been tried before and it ended up costing a casino a lot of money in the long term. Since he cannot disobey a 'suggestion' from Johny Rizzo, the Savoy's profits will suffer as a result. | |

Shame If Something Happened | |
| Vegas (2012) / int_e5c64f3f | comment |
Shame If Something Happened: The Vegas mob use this to subtly threaten a business partner, all while keeping up the facade of "helpful neighbors" - helpful neighbors that can find you and strand you and your family in the desert if you cross them. | |

Twilight of the Old West | |
| Vegas (2012) / int_ead5a011 | comment |
Twilight of the Old West: A significant amount of drama comes from the clash between the rapid modernization brought on by Las Vegas's casino boom—represented by Savino and company—and the traditional farmers and ranchers of the West—represented by the Lamb family, with Ralph acting as a traditional Western sheriff amidst the neon lights of the Vegas Strip. | |

Unintentionally Notorious Crime | |
| Vegas (2012) / int_f9a801de | comment |
Unintentionally Notorious Crime: One of these starts the whole series: the murder of a young woman would have been considered business as usual in Las Vegas and swept under the rug if anybody paid the sheriff enough, except that the woman is the governor's niece and he is willing to send the National Guard and enable Martial Law unless someone solves that case right now. This leads to the appointment of Ralph Lamb as Sheriff. | |
