A lecherous and hypocritical Republican senator who spends time on TV talking about how the liberal left is destroying America through sex and nudity - stop me if you've seen this in real life, too - arrives in Vegas for his monthly bender of gambling and strip clubs. For reasons Danny isn't sure of, Ed has the Montecito protecting the senator's identity from a nosy reporter. It all ties back in to Ed's former life as a CIA operative.
Elsewhere, the Montecito's new King Arthur causes quite the stir on and off the stage - and at the wave pool surfing contest Mary is in charge of. (The scenes where he calls Ed "Merlin" are priceless for James Caan's nonplussed expression.)
As foreshadowed at the end of the pilot episode, Danny and Mary's friend Greg is found dead near a golf course, leading to much soul-searching.
The final poignant and emotional scene where Mary and Danny drive down las Vegas Boulevard holding up the urn between them, letting Greg's ashes drift away on the breeze is the perfect way to close out the episode and one of the reasons why Las Vegas connected with so many people. It was a brilliant few seconds of TV.
