Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Season 1 Episode 5 Vegas in Space

In Buck Rogers in the 25th Century season 1 episode 5, titled "Vegas in Space," Buck and his team are on a mission to transport a powerful new weapon, the Negatron, to Earth from the planet Cholma. However, their ship is suddenly pulled into a Bermuda Triangle-type phenomenon called a space warp and they are transported to an unknown location.

They soon discover that they are in a part of space where a group of ruthless space pirates, led by the beautiful but deadly Roxanne Trent (played by Tanya Roberts), operate a casino called the Orbital Hilton. The pirates lure passing spaceships to their casino, rob their passengers blind, and then send the ships crashing to their doom on nearby planets.

Buck and his crew are initially taken prisoner by the pirates but quickly devise a plan to escape and try to find a way back to Earth with the Negatron. However, they soon realize that their only chance of leaving the casino alive is to win enough money to buy their way off the ship. With the help of the casino's pit boss, Kelly (played by Fred Willard), Buck and his team enter the casino's games of chance and skill, hoping to win big.

The episode features many glitzy and glamorous moments, with colorful sets, cheesy special effects, and over-the-top performances from the cast. There are several musical numbers and dance sequences, including a memorable scene where Buck performs a "disco" dance. However, there are also moments of tension and danger as Buck and his team must outwit the pirates and avoid being caught.

Overall, "Vegas in Space" is an entertaining and campy episode that showcases the fun and wacky side of Buck Rogers. It is full of humor, action, and a sense of adventure that captures the spirit of the classic sci-fi series.
