Looks like The Montecito will be under new management next season. From CNN:

'Las Vegas' going on without Caan, Nikki Cox

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- NBC's casino drama "Las Vegas" is set to return for a fifth season in the fall without two of its stars, James Caan and Nikki Cox.

Caan wants to return to movies, while Cox's departure is said to stem from budget cuts. The show boasts a large ensemble cast and has moved from Mondays to Fridays, where viewership levels are lower. Read more.

I like the show well enough. It's kinda campy and goofy, sort of going for that Love Boat vibe. But you'd be surprised at how rarely I watch the show. I remember, during its first season, I was appalled at some of the dialogue. "He's in for 30-large," said a very serious pit boss.

30-large????

I've yet to hear an actual pit boss make that sort of statement without it trying to be corny. Nevertheless, it's TV.
