As we reported previously, Las Vegas will be returning for a fifth season without some of its famed cast members. James Caan, who played Ed Deline, former head of security and president of operations of the Montecito Group, will no longer be a series regular on the NBC drama since he has moved on to pursue his movie career.
“I've had a wonderful four years, worked with great people and made friends for life working on Las Vegas. But I'm eager to return to where my heart is, which is film, and due to the show's schedule, I missed some great opportunities to do that… I wish the show and everyone involved with it continued success," Caan told the Hollywood Reporter.

Aside from his heroic role on Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Dean Cain also gained fame for his role on Las Vegas as Casey Manning. He depicted a shrewd and cunning businessman and was the former owner of the Montecito Hotel and Casino, as well as Sam’s ex-husband. In the episode entitled “Bare Chested in the Park,” his character was killed off in a fishing accident when a giant squid engulfed him off the coast of New Zealand. However, the autopsy revealed that his blood had traces of botulinum toxin, which hinted that he was poisoned before the accident happened.

Apart from The Practice, Lara Flynn Boyle caught the attention of TV viewers with her participation on Las Vegas. As Monica Mancuso, she appeared self-centered and tyrannous. She was the former owner of the Montecito who married an 83-year old billionaire when she was 25 to inherit his fortune upon his death at age 93. In an effort to prove her supposedly clean intentions, she persisted on making the Montecito a success. Unfortunately, she died in a freak accident in season three when she was blown off the roof of a building and down the strip into a shoe store. Because many disliked her, casino employees disposed her ashes by flushing them down the toilet.
