CSI While keeping abreast of cutting-edge technologies, CSI combines the ingenuity (and fallibility) of villains with the appealing humanity of its heroes. CSI director and entomologist Gil Grissom (played by series co producer William Petersen) is introverted but ethically intense; he's both mentor and moral compass for his night-shift team, including a former stripper-turned-CSI , Katherine Willows; a recovering gambler Warrick; an eager ace Nick Soakes with room for improvement; a workaholic Sara Siddle who can't always remain emotionally detached from her cases; and a chief detective Captain Brass who's a necessary link to police procedure. Like The X-Files, CSI supports its characters with feature-film production values, employing a Rashomon structure that turns murder into a progressively accurate study of cause and effect. Script quality is consistently high ("Blood Drops" and "Unfriendly Skies" are exceptional), direction is slick and sophisticated, and the mysteries are complex enough to invite multiple viewings. Despite a regrettable shortage of DVD features, CSI's inaugural season remains addictively worthy of its lofty reputation. --Jeff Shannon

Based on real life Las Vegas crime scene investigators, CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION follows the team as they solve chilling cases with innovative thinking and methodical scientific inquiry. Tackling cases peppered with grisly details, the Las Vegas PD Criminalistics Division is the #2 crime lab in the U.S. , solving crimes that practically every other crime lab has given up on. Set in a town whose reputation for providing instant success for those willing to try their luck, CSI finds that the constant influx of visitors to the city that never sleeps also provides ripe targets for criminals of all varieties.

Las Vegas is a fast-paced, sexy drama that follows the elite Las Vegas surveillance team charged with maintaining the security of one of " Sin City 's" largest resorts and casinos. Big Ed Deline, former CIA, is the head of the surveillance team for the Montecito Resort & Casino, as well as the newly appointed President of Operations. His right-hand man is Danny McCoy, an ex-U.S. Marine and Las Vegas native. They deal with card-counting cheaters, costly streaks of random luck and rival casinos stealing their big-money players.

Also at the Montecito is Mary Connell, Danny's longtime childhood friend and the new special events coordinator, Mike Cannon, the all-knowing head valet, Nessa Holt a.k.a. "The Ice Queen," the sleek pit boss, Delinda Deline, maitre d' for the high-class restaurant Mystique, and Samantha Marquez, the elusive former competitor who is now casino hostess to all the high rollers.

Danny's return to Vegas hasn't been easy on him, as both family and friends criticize him for having left them for a military career. Mary Connell is one of those friends. Danny's recent relationships with Delinda and Sam have caused old feelings in Mary to resurface. She confesses to him that if Danny hadn't gone off to the Marines, that maybe something could have developed between them. Now, they just try to get through their jobs and try to put "what could have been" behind them.

DR. VEGAS From his High Class office suite, Dr. Billy Grant attends to the round-the-clock medical needs of guests, employees and their families amid the lures of Sin City . The doctor's always in when it comes to catering to the often frivolous medical requests of his good friend and boss, Tommy Danko, the hotel's general manager. Tommy's priority is the well-being of his high rollers and the casino's bottomline, while Billy's committed to upholding the Hippocratic Oath, often putting them at odds. The frenetic pace continues on the casino floor where the action never stops. Vic Moore is Tommy's first Lieutenant--part casino host, part gambling director and part enforcer. Always on hand is beautiful blackjack dealer, Veronica Harold who attends classes at UNLV during the day and works nights to help support her father. Whether it's a celebrity headliner who takes a header from the stage, an employee hurt on the job or a desperate guest whose luck has run out at the tables, it's a safe bet that Dr. Grant will see his share of unique medical cases. But, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, and for Billy, it's all in a day's work on the Strip.

The Night Stalker Wisecracking Carl Kolchak  is a rumpled news hound plucked from the fast-talking newspaper flicks of the 1940s and dropped into the even faster paced twenty first century. What makes the eccentric Kolchak even more unique, however, is his nose for the supernatural, a trait that leaves his editor  exasperated and the police less than amused. When he insists that a late-night Las Vegas serial killer (who leaves his victims drained of blood and sporting twin holes in the neck) is a modern-day vampire, he's practically run out of town by the local authorities. Naturally, he stalks the vampire himself, an unlikely Van Helsing armed with a silver cross, a wooden stake, and his ever-present tape recorder and flashbulb camera. The X-Files creator Chris Carter acknowledges the show as a major inspiration, and has cast McGavin in a recurring role as a retired X-Files veteran with an acerbic personality and a familiar rumpled wardrobe. Kolchak lives! --Sean Axmaker  

For game purposes, Karl Kolchak has returned to Sin City to retire from the International News Agency. He’s now in his 70s, but can be found lurking around various crime scenes that catch his interest. He also occasionally does lectures for the Journalism department at UNLV.

 Lucky Michael “Lucky” Linkletter  is a compulsive gambler who happens to live in gambling central, Las Vegas .  A year ago, he won the million-dollar prize at the Las Vegas Professional Poker Player Championship.  When asked what was next for him, he said he was going to marry his girlfriend Sarah, and he predicted he would lose the money.  Fast forward to today, and both things have happened.  He married Sarah, but then she died (in a way that has yet to be explained.)  He gambled away the million he won, and he had to borrow $8000 from Sarah’s parents, Bill and Carol, to pay for her funeral.  He currently works as a car salesman for Stan McWatt, but his commissions aren’t making him enough.  He tries other options to get the money to pay Sarah’s parents back.  The first one he tries is borrowing it from a loan shark named Joey Leggs, but Joey wants Lucky to gamble for him, and he doesn’t want to go back to that life.  The next thing he tries is to collect some money owed to him from The Trake, named after the tracheotomy tube he has to breathe through.  He has no luck there, because The Trake passes out and goes into a diabetic coma.  His two close friends, Vinny Sticarelli  and Mutha Legendre, a couple of fellow compulsive gamblers that he met in a support group, try to help him out, including Vinny jumping in front of cars so that the people who hit him will pay him.  That helps a little, but a degenerate named Danny Martin robs him.  He decides to swallow his pride and risk letting gambling take over his life again by taking Joey’s deal.  Along the way, he meets fellow compulsive gambler Theresa at one of the support group meetings.  She is a successful real estate broker, but has a bad gambling problem.  Lucky agrees to be her sponsor, even though he may be soon slipping himself.
