The Las Vegas life made it big for Marsha Thomason, as the series star was cast on the CW's new drama-comedy, Easy Money. The show revolves around a family of loan sharks, as well as their notorious exploits dealing with threats of blackmail and violence.
Marsha Thomason has been slated to play the romantic interest of Jeff Hephner's character, Morgan Buffkin. He is the prodigal son of the family, and though good with the line of work, he has been wishing to make his family's shady business legitimate. Though Hephner obtained a significant role, Easy Money focuses more on Bobette Buffkin, the domineering matriarch of the family who heads the company.

Seeing that old shows are getting more appealing, NBC has given the remake of Knight Rider a series order. The show has been given a test drive as a two-hour made-for-television movie in February, which resulted to a Sunday night primetime victory for the network. As expected, high ratings have made everyone at the network rooting for more K.I.T.T. and company.
Serving as showrunner and executive producer for the new Knight Rider series is Gary Scott Thompson, who most recently led NBC's Las Vegas. Producer Universal Media Studios has also made a two-year overall deal with the scribe, who is also credited for Fast and the Furious. Thompson will work alongside exec producers Doug Liman and Dave Bartis, as well as scribe-producer Dave Andron, who wrote the pilot.

Although it's looking more and more unlikely that NBC will change their minds about canceling Las Vegas, fans of the show are still fighting hard to get it back on the air. On Monday, March 10, lasvegas-theseries.com, the fan site that's leading a major save-the-show campaign, sent its third shipment of baby booties to NBC, with the boxes scheduled to arrive tomorrow. So far, the site has sent 121 cases cpntaining 5,904 baby booties.
For those who are unfamiliar with the campaign, fans are being asked to send booties because the last episode of Las Vegas that NBC decided to air ended with a big cliffhanger concerning Delinda's (Molly Sims) pregnancy. In addition, the baby booties are not costly, easy to ship and can be donated to charity.

Since news broke out that NBC has brought down the axe on the dramedy Las Vegas, fans have been busy taking part in campaigns aiming to save the show. Despite their continued efforts, however, it seems the network is already steadfast with its decision to cancel the series.
According to TV Guide's Michael Ausiello, things aren't looking good for Las Vegas, as the show's massive and elaborate sets are still being brought down. Additionally, the network is now conducting a “fire sale,” wherein goods are sold at extremely discounted prices, for any props.

All bets are off for NBC's Las Vegas as the network decided to cancel the series in order to make way for newcomers in the coming year.
While many fans have been greatly disappointed with Las Vegas since James Caan left the show last year, some felt that casting Tom Selleck breathed new life into the series that follows a team of people working in the fictional Montecito Resort and Casino in Sin City. Whatever the case may be, the 7 million viewers who tuned in each week clearly weren't enough to please execs at NBC. The network has nixed the idea of resuming production of the drama despite the fact that its last episode "Three Weddings and a Funeral," which aired February 15, ended with a "to be continued" cliffhanger.
