TVGuide is reporting that NBC has unceremoniously cancelled Las Vegas after five seasons on the air.
Las Vegas debuted on September 22, 2003 and was touted as actor James Caan’s first series regular role on television. The Academy Award-nominated actor was cast as the Montecito casino’s Head of Security, ‘Big Ed’ Deline. Others in the cast have included Nikki Cox, Josh Duhamel, James Lesure, Vanessa Marcil, Molly Sims, and Marsha Thomason.
Caan left the series last year to return to his movie career and Cox was cut from the show in a cost-cutting move. Caan was replaced by Tom Selleck and it was hoped that the addition of the veteran TV actor would help revitalize the series. It didn’t and, coupled with the series’ move to Friday nights, the ratings dropped significantly.
Last year, Las Vegas was one of the earliest NBC shows to get a renewal notice. What a difference a year can make.
NBC has opted not to renew Las Vegas for season six. Unlike Friday Night Lights, Vegas apparently doesn’t warrant shopping to other possible outlets and fans of the series are left with a cliffhanger. The last two episodes aired last Friday and was first in the ratings for both hours, Unbeknownst to viewers at the time, it was likely the last time we’ll see the staff of the Montecito. Stay tuned! 
NBC screws everything up, no wonder they are going down the tubes. Los Vegas
was the best series on TV. Wise up NBC!!!!!!!
wow one of the best shows u have on and u take it off i am done with nbc all those other stupid show and u take this one off your out of your minds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Las Vegas was such a fun, awesome show. I’m really sorry it’s not coming back. Was what I looked forward to on Friday nights.
Las Vegas is my number 1 favorite show. Please, please bring it back to a regular time slot on NBC. We love watching the reruns on TNT daily at 10 a & 11 a EST. hours of Las Vega a day!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!1
wow what a shame that was a great show and nbc screwed that one bring back the show you idiots to be continued means continue
Gary Scott Thompson should consider a 2 hour Movie or something for the Las Vegas Show, I think it would do good in the theaters. Not to mention it would give closure to a great TV series. I hate NBC for the way they let this series end.
ffs las vegas pwnd all shows ever and to stop it….wtf?
I love Las Vegas and it was just getting good. And then you dropped us all. It’s worth bringing it back and you would be stupid not to bring it back…
I am still angry at NBC cancelling the series “LAS VEGAS” Typical of them again…jumping the gun not giving the changes time to take place and letting people get tuned in with it. Changing days and replacing James Caan with Selleck was a big jump (I believe Caan would have stayed for more money but they hastily were looking at their bottom line again) but Selleck was just starting to fit in…..go figure!! I watch their re-runs every day and I’ve now seen them 3 times over again and there are alot of ;people doing the same thing as you… Read more »
WHY DID THEY HAVE TOO TAKE LAS VEGAS OFF IT WAS SUCH A GOOD SHOW THEY SHOULD BRING IT BACK Damn please bring it back , I REALLY LOVE THE SHOW
We loved the show , We record the reruns on our DVR . NBC needs to listen and bring back the show or Maybe one of the other networks will pick up the show
think they ought bring back las vegas,nbc has lot junk shows i dont even watch i wont watch miss las vegas,
i am so SAD that there is no more las vegas. i just started watching the re-runs and i love them!! i had never even heard of the show before. maybe if they would have done better advertising they wouldnt have had to cancel the show in the middle with a “to be continued” episode. really?
now i wish i never would have started watching it, i use to race home to see them in time. what a horrible move on nbc’s part. give us a finale.
I just saw the last episode of Las Vegas, I watch the reruns everyday and just found out that the show has been canceled. The last episode was incredible and left me with wanting to watch more. NBC made a horrible decision when they took this show off the air. When something says to be continued, it should be.
Television giants will not be happy until the only thing left is mind-numbing reality TV. What happened to television and commitment to viewers? I loved the show. I’m very disappointed that NBC didn’t even have the decency to properly end the show. It deserved at least that.
