I admit it's an interesting premise, Las Vegas in 1960 and the mix of mobsters and the old west. Who doesn't love Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis? But I just don't buy Quaid as the tough old west Sheriff. It's a role built for Clint Eastwood of yesteryear, not so much the nice guy Quaid trying too hard to be tough guy.
In the end it's another period piece, unfortunately much more like Pan Am than Mad Men. Vegas' only hope is it's extremely strong lead in on Tuesday nights with the NCIS's. Maybe viewers will just assume it's a good show because of the company it keeps. My prediction is that it will die a long slow death and give CBS an excuse to bring Unforgettable back a few months early.
Cancelled.
