Vegas is a television drama series that was aired on CBS between 2012 and 2013. The show is set in the 1960s in Las Vegas, Nevada, and revolves around the life of Sheriff Ralph Lamb, played by Dennis Quaid. The show has a strong cast, also including Michael Chiklis, Carrie-Anne Moss, Taylor Handley, Sarah Jones, and Jason O'Mara.

The story of Vegas is set in a time when Las Vegas was displaying its true character as a city of sin and vice. However, Las Vegas was also undergoing a transformative period, and the construction of the iconic Casino called Mandalay Bay was taking place. The show mainly focuses on the turbulent relationship between Sheriff Ralph Lamb and Chicago mobster Vincent Savino, played by Michael Chiklis.

Dennis Quaid plays the role of Ralph Lamb, a cowboy who becomes the Sheriff of Las Vegas. He is an honest and straightforward man who stands for justice and takes his responsibilities as the Sheriff quite seriously. Ralph Lamb is not only trying to uphold the law, but he is also trying to protect his family and his ranch from the pressurizing forces of the city.

On the other hand, Michael Chiklis plays the role of Vincent Savino, a cunning and dangerous Chicago mobster sent to Las Vegas to secure a cut of the city's lucrative casino profits. Vincent Savino is a stark contrast to Ralph Lamb, who is an enforcer of the law. He is someone who doesn't care about establishing authority and will use any means to achieve his goals.

Carrie-Anne Moss plays the role of Katherine O'Connell, the Assistant District Attorney of Las Vegas, and a love interest of Ralph Lamb. Moss's character is a progressive woman who is fighting for gender equality in a male-dominated society.

Taylor Handley and Sarah Jones play the role of Dixon Lamb and Mia Rizzo, respectively. Dixon Lamb is Ralph Lamb's younger brother, who is returning from the Army after serving in the Korean War. Mia Rizzo is the daughter of a local mob boss, who is trying to make her own identity in the city.

The show has a lot of elements that make it an exciting watch. The tension between the two lead characters, Ralph Lamb and Vincent Savino, is apparent throughout the series. The show also has several intriguing storylines, including Katherine O'Connell's battles with sexism in the workplace and Dixon Lamb's attempt to reintegrate into civilian life after his military service.

The show also explores the political and social changes occurring in Las Vegas during the 1960s. The construction of the Mandalay Bay casino is central to the plot, and it showcases the changes taking place in Las Vegas. The show recreates the city's iconic landmarks, such as the Sands Hotel and the Freemont Street Experience, making the city an integral part of the show.

Overall, Vegas is a gripping drama series set amidst the glamour and intrigue of Las Vegas during the 1960s. The show boasts of an impressive cast, engaging storylines, and accurate historical references, making it an enjoyable watch for anyone interested in the city's history and culture. The show was canceled after just two seasons, but it remains a memorable and entertaining television series.
