  • Fantastic episode that reaches back to the glitz and glamour of Old Vegas. That romantic era when the Rat Pack owned the town, and showgirls ruled the night.

    Fantastic episode that reaches back to the glitz and glamour of Old Vegas. That romantic era when the Rat Pack owned the town, and showgirls ruled the night. This episode gave us a look into the world that Sam Braun came from.

    Faye Dunaway played a great old vegas showgirl, and owed every scene that she was in. The songs by Frank Sinatra set the mood for every scene, and the Pan-Am robbery story, Greg's locker room hat tip, and the final shot of the famous "Vegas Vic" helped make this episode a terrific nod to Vegas's gangster roots.moreless

  • I don't like CSI. I did like this episode.

    My parents like CSI. They watch all three...that's pretty much what's on in my household. I, unfortunately don't like CSI.

    Nevertheless I found myself interested in this particular episode. With a guest star like Faye Dunaway, how can one not be interested?

    So, once again stunt casting draws in a viewer. Not for long.

    I've always been annoyed by the twists of the show. How, like an old mystery novel right at the last mmoment...the real villain just appears and the person you thought was doing it the whole time is really innocent.

    With that said, I like the twist. The killer and the reason made sense, they didn't come out of left feild. I actually felt some kind of compassion for the victim and the killer. And I understand the reason for the initial crime.

    I still think all the regular characters are entirely too bland. Could Marge Helgenberger be any less emotional? It's like watching a stone try to act.

    Eric Szmanda (or however it is spelled) was definitely a bright spot. Reading the book and filling in certain things, acting as the true comic releif, picking up the lingo...cute stuff.

    Alright, I admit to watching this episode. I admit to at least enjoying it. They haven't converted me. I still don't like any of the characters, nor do I particularly like the premise of these shows (these type of shows.) If they can finish the entire story in an hour, why is it worth my time?

    Alright...yell if you want. This is what I feel. You are more than welcome to your own opinion.

    I liked this episode. I don't like this show.moreless

    With Great story lines and character appearances, this eipsode of CSI shows why it's the #1 show world wide. The story line was a classic story with a few twist. I liked the flash backs of old Vegas, how they were incorperated with the new Vegas. Faye Dunaway plays her character out perfectly as a classy ex show who know how to go out in style. I also really liked this episode because it showed how Greg has really developed over the years; he's turned into a wonderful CSI and an awesome person- not that he wasn't awesome before- just in a different way. The way he really gets into the case and he interest he shows, pefessional yes, but with a touch of personal. (I esp. like when he's telling Grissom about the "old money"- the look on Grissom's face was absolutely unforgettable.) Yes, this is definitely one of my favourite CSI eipsodes ever.moreless

  • Much better than the last episode. I love this episode.

    This gets the award for the most humorous episode of the season to date. Everything about it was great. The case was good, they explored it in detail but give too much detail and thereby boring the viewer to tears. Sara was certainly not herself and had many witty comments throughout. Her "Hodges, don't you know that grey hair can be very attractive?" was one of the best quotes ever. I love how Grissom was standing right beside her and thinks about what she says for a moment. Again, are they together?

    It was a return to the CSI episodes of long ago. All the characters were witty, the case was great, and I for one didn't even mind the CathDrama! It was added very subtly and didn't take up the entire episode. I hope they do more episodes like this in the future.

    I LOVED THIS EPISODE!! So much greggo and the GSR moments were fab.The episode was cleaverly placed in a really rich house that didnt seem anything like it was.Many of my friends told me it was gonna be a good episode but not that good.
    For once i felt in the episode the suspect gave the evidence to Greg forming a complete circle of Greg muttering from the book making more evidence for the CSIs i hope there will be more episodes like this with plenty of Greg cause it makes me happy it also reflects a good crime and many old faces.moreless

    • When Gil and Dr. Robbins are discussing the trajectory of the bullet from the victim, Dr. Robbins describes the path of the bullet as entering the base of the right ventricle, passing through the interventricular septum, then destroying the AV node. The AV node lies on the posterior wall of the right atrium. If the bullet passed from the right side of the heart through the interventricular septum, it would then be in the left side of the heart and would not be anywhere near the AV node. It would pass through the left and right bundle branches, but these are not the same structure at the AV node. Edit
    • During the end montage, Doc Robbins is seen sliding the picture of Lois' corpse into an album. It has been mentioned that he keeps a scrapbook of famous people he has autopsied, but this is the first time we have seen it on the show. Edit
    • Goof: Nick and Warrick are watching surveillance footage when a Trans-Am pulls up on screen. They are able to get the license plate number and when they pull it up, the computer says it is a 1978 Trans Am. When looking at the rear end of the car on screen, it is from a 1979-1982 model where the licence plate was placed on the rear bumper. The 1978 model had the license plate mounted between the taillights. Edit

(she picks up the doggie bag and offers it to Catherine) Catherine: Drai's ... The girls like to spend. Lily: Red wine always makes me two of the seven dwarfs: Sleepy and Sneezy.

Catherine: You can't be seeing Sam? Lily: And why not? Catherine: Oh, for one thing, he's a player. Lily: I don't expect monogamy from him. Catherine: (groans) Oh. I can't believe this. Lily: And I am not promising that he'll get it from me, either. (Catherine turns around and gets an envelope from her desk) What are you doing? Catherine: Put it in the envelope. Lily: Why?! (Lily puts the handkerchief in the envelope) Catherine: Because we haven't cleared Sam as a suspect. Lily: He can't be! He has been so wonderful to me these past few weeks. Catherine: Oh, this has been going on for weeks, huh? Lily: We have a history together, Catherine. We were young together. Some day, maybe you'll understand. Edit
    • Greg: Tuna ... and the homeless are dining on shrimp salad. Lucky Clydes. Sara: "Lucky Clydes?" Is that lingo from Lois' book? Warrick: She say anything in that book about all that dough we found under her floor? Greg: Not exactly. But she does say back in '65, Vegas was getting a little bit too hot for Tony C, so he had to take a powder for a while. And dig this: while he was gone, the famous Pan Am heist was pulled off back east. Warrick: The famous Pan Am heist? Greg: And, compadre, in the next chapter, Tony builds Lois the house. Connect the dots, buddy boy. (Sara laughs) Edit
    • Lois: Having fun with my book, Greg? Greg (grins): Oh, yeah. That beach party ... hoo-hoo-hoo. Marilyn Monroe and the president ... Swing-a-ding-ding. Edit
