Construction CEO Monica Wells is thrown out by Ed for extreme rudeness to the Montecito staff.

None of the men thought of Valentine's day. Ed expected to be excused for jury duty, but neither the judge, who recently lost badly at the Montecito, nor the counselors object to a professional expert in gambling and security, both being essential to the case. Once on the case, he breaks the embargo rules, determined to prove the accused's innocence. Danny must check on big gambler, Bert Belinsky, who first bets against his wife's horse, then on it, while his wife uses the trips as alibi to hide her plastic surgery.

Talented magician Arnold Peters was to be thrown out for passing out fliers 'Ed Deline called me the best', inexact and totally out of context, but proves a great eye by catching on sight a crafty dice-cheater none of the staff was on to.

The new Montecito is finished and its new owner, a woman called Monica Mancuso, wants the old team back. However, most of them refuse to come back to the Montecito and have already found other jobs.

The Montecito experiences several financial perils. Ed Deline worries about chip cheaters who already got away with $1,200,000, and orders to divert owner Monica's attention -she hasn't even mastered the essential element of fun- to a gambler who seems to keep winning honestly, already for $300,000, while he and Mike trace all people plausibly involved, the manufacturing company and even the whereabouts of only five machines which could do the job, the takes drastic action... Meanwhile Mike and Danny close in on pick-pockets. Danny's accountant insists he should sell his late dad's house, which increased in value from almost nothing to about $1,500,000, and thus discovers a recent picture on pa's bed-stand with a woman he doesn't know at all.

Banned card counter Gabe 'Nice guy' Labrador claims he must win $1,000,000 or his kidnapped daughter will be killed, but the police believes he's pulling another stunt, like his staged death 8 years earlier. But Ed and Monica Mancuso give him the benefit of the doubt, so the boys follow the cash. Big winner Ben Carlson demands that Deline takes his $600,000 winnings back to make a point that he disapproves of gambling in principal, but his other, abusive personality Ted Waters demands the cash; a third one, hedonist Carlos, is in control. Boston PD detective Woody Hoyt explains to Sam Marquez in intricate detail his day, how they landed in bed.

Besides his job and love life with Penny, Danny retains his late father's construction company. In order to let it build the golf course Monica wants, they must make crone Dottie Arkin, who lived there all her life, an offer she can't refuse, only to find a corpse buried in her garden, which ex-con mobster Nick Calabrini believes to be his missing uncle Seymour Magoon.

Ed Deline is in no position to follow Dr. Hall's advice to take it easy on account of his blood pressure: he's the victim of identity theft, and his banker allowed the culprit to clean him out completely. Danny comes along trying to moderate the punches, but Lou Mosley is just a decoy, the actual brain makes them think again. Sam is hostile to Monica's new non-gambling income watchdog, and even worse to her half-brother Bobby, but her assumption he's still an immature parasite is challenged while colleagues milk him for embarrassing anecdotes. Mike borrows Ed's beloved Aston Martin for an all too adventurous date, which only Ed's name saves from turning into a disaster.

Danny McCoy finally has a buyer for his home, found by girl-friend Penny Posin, just like his late dad's last flame, Liz, who claims she was to be dad's bride. She hesitantly accepts the loan Danny offers to get her through medical bills until her insurance pays, but isn't it all too good to be true? Monica's 'other income' manager Olivia Duchey's cheap orders keep making everybody's job impossible; so Ed takes on the bossy owner, who lets Sam off the hook if she tells her brother Bobby he's dumped.

Remarks about Las Vegas's past evoke a dream in which Danny, Mike and the girls arrive in 1962 at the Jubilee, the later Montecito, with new boss Ed, a mobster. They not only take over but invent the modern all-in-one-site entertainment formula, combining casino elements gambling, hotel, restaurants and shops, in the process inventing their present jobs. That takes quite some convincing and arm-twisting, in the spirit of those days still using methods they now wouldn't even consider.

Despite FBI agent Portis's supervision, the Star of Kashmir, an Indian national treasure and the world's largest sapphire, is stolen from the Montecito vault hours before it's to be exhibited. Danny reluctantly chases three reputed jewel thieves against the clock rather then officially denouncing Monica herself, who wore it alone. A seemingly supernatural magician also makes a fascinating suspect. Meanwhile Monica's expensive attempts to convince Deline to resume his manager post backfire; until she names a surprised successor.

On his first day in Ed's job -some suggest wrongly he intrigued for it- Danny is beleaguered with requests he couldn't honor anyway: Monica, who showers Danny with perks and more, wants him to be her good 'boy', even to fire Ed's most loyal employees. Monica forbids Danny to act rationally against such threats as a big winner and a rain man from a local mental home. The funeral of casino entertainment king J.W. McKeller attracts all hostesses, as corps robbers after his black book. Finally Danny does what Ed expected, in the Montecito's interest, but is found out.

Everyone in the Montecito is shocked after Monica's violent death. But Ed is specially surprised, since Monica chose him to make sure her last wishes would be fulfilled.

Casey Manning, the casino owner, has booked a porn convention but this is not exactly Ed's favorite crowd. Ed himself is in the new publicity spot shoots, with unnecessary personal complications. Casey's ex Sam's moaning finally wears his patience down enough to separate their assets and file for divorce. The national poker competition on TV is just the show for organizer Lance Marshall, but the Montecito boys won't accept an unknown schoolteacher outplaying the pros.

Danny discretely investigate the theft of diamonds hastily supplied by jeweler Pete Natelson which were stolen during a Montecito video clip recording by Lil' Flip. Ed concentrates on catching dice cheater Anthony Demby. The girls believe Mike moonlights as male stripper.

The couple who purchased Monica's suite in the Montecito Residences claims it is haunted, while Danny and Ed believe there's another explanation; Sam makes a bet with another casino host to see who gets to claim the title of "#1 Casino Host in Vegas"; Delinda runs afoul of the new health inspector on the eve of the opening of the new Wolfgang Puck restaurant.

The Nevada gaming Commission questions Casey's license because of $3,000,000 missing from the Montecito books, from the last night before Monica bought the casino. Casey is cleared, Ed must find the thief helped by Danny, whose rough USMC instructor Sergeant 'Gunny' Burn shows up and 'enlists' himself on hotel staff. Meanwhile meteorology fan Mike's hero, the forecast presenter, works from the Montecito and needs a stand-in stat.

The Montecito may face a huge indemnification when a man states that a woman has drugged him and stolen one of his kidneys.

While Danny hosts Monica's immature heir Norma Pitts, they find half a human finger in her shrimp salad: a PR nightmare for the Montecito buffet. Ed tells Danny to keep her happy. Overhearing lawyer vulture Mira Schleich offers to get Norma 'damages', Danny promises to make her dreams come true, but apparently that includes him. The cameras recorded immigrant kitchen hand Miguel Hurtado axing his own finger. His cousin Raul was to find it and settle for $10,000, the coyote ransom for his sister Maria. Whale Grimaldi insists on another host than Sam, till she throws him out of the Montecito altogether.

When Danny catches chip thief Justin Frank, he claims to have heard a man intends to blow up the Montecito next Thursday, even if that tip doesn't get him a deal. FBI Agent Kent considers old-timer Ed's call pointless. Danny, Justin and undercover Mike trace the Egyptian bomber suspect, Farouk Naeem. New Montecito spa masseur Travis is a heavenly hunk, but allegedly also gives hot chicks highly appreciated 'intimate' services beyond appropriate, so Sam feels insulted as he handles her by the book.

Ed mobilizes against expert cheating teams with card counters, including Nick Sperreos, guessing right they've been trained and sent. Danny traces them to Nevada university. The girls stress about 'whale' Jared Lipworth's 'record grandeur' wedding to his former secretary Lissy, whose bridal dress goes missing.

Ed fears recently released master thief Alex Avery is behind a recent theft wave. Danny and Mike are emotionally blackmailed to pose, for an animal charity, as eligible bachelors - with a twist. Mary jumps through hoops to get a good review. Ed himself is forced by his wife, Jillian, to take marriage counseling with Doctor Paul.

Danny has 'just sex' with Delinda, whose mother wants to 'finally' match her again with idealistic college boyfriend Dr. Derek Stephenson. Casey concludes from an incognito visit that the department chiefs must be 'taken down a peg or two' on a mandatory corporate retreat, and makes it desert camping and paintball, in two teams. Derek is allowed to stand in for Ed, who must fill a surveillance vacancy. He and the finalists investigate $2,000,000 missing.

Ed's wife has railroaded him to a horrible desolate spa. In his absence Danny must approve Dwight Stiles to play blackjack for $1,000,000 a hand. Accountant Sarasvati warns that's illegal without matching cash, so an armored car full is ordered. Alas, a fake team got the cash from the bank, quickly reloaded into a car, which is found with two corpses. Is there a link? and if so, who are the other accomplices? Meanwhile Delinda's dream doctor, Derek, delays his Bangladesh mission to propose.

Jeff McKee and his equally attractive wife Judy ask Montecito security to keep an eye on their spouses, but each plays a game. Delinda's acceptance to marry Dr. Derek Stephenson is questioned, especially by her mother, because it may mean following him on Third World medical emergency area missions. Ed handles the case of a petty sponger who claims to be cheated by a dealer and allows Sam to spend a weekend in his lodge, for once with a lover, Boston detective Woody Hoyt, but they can't enjoy it without TV or phone reach.

While Delinda starts doubting about her feelings as the day of her wedding approaches, Ed refuses to help a former CIA partner in a mission.

Picking up from where the last season left off, security realizes that a gun was fired in Ed's suite, as Danny and Ed's daughter realize they have deeper feelings for each other than either of them wanted to admit. Samantha realizes what trouble she's in when one of her high roller clients rolls into the hotel's beach front resort in Hawaii and rolls up a half a million dollar bill and threatens to leave it in her lap, along with the dead stripper in his room.

The mission laid before Ed comes to light, as he is picked to, once again, kill a man the CIA ordered him to kill 20 years earlier. Sam wraps up her issues in Hawaii with the help of Mike, and Mary goes off in everyone's face about Danny and Delinda's heated romance and the fact that no one told her about it.

Ed turns Samantha onto a guy who can help out her own paycheck by trying to retrieve some of the money that her high roller clients have skipped out on paying. Danny and Delinda discuss wanting to take their relationship to the next level. Mary decides to try her hand at stand-up comedy, and Ed tries to give someone a special birthday present.

The Montecito's safe-deposit vault is being robbed, with Lawrence Taylor's Super Bowl XXI ring among the stolen items.

Some crafty kidnappers put Dalinda in a box and bury her for a fifty million dollar ransom they're forcing out of Ed. Mary gets to choose a mascot, but ends up with several complaints from hotel guests. Guests at the casino include a couple of buddies who just won a lottery and are rather reluctant to wager any of it, opting instead to play a game of hide and seek in the casino, and a monk who's known for cleaning out casinos, one every seven years, and has picked the Montecito.

Just in time, Danny finds a way to deal with Ed's explosive foot-clamp. Delinda's kidnappers think he's dead and still hold her. The gloves are off, it's everything goes, even illegal means, catching them included. Tibetan Buddhist monk Soli Tendar keeps winning at casinos, but how? Can Sam tempt him or be enlightened? During a staff flu epidemic, Mary fills in lowly jobs.

After the kidnapping, Delinda is mean to Danny, who can't believe she even bags on his dancing. The $1,000,000 wedding package nobody expected to run is actually ordered. It includes singing by Wayne Newton, who refuses since a bitter golf dispute with Ed. To Danny's horror the guest list includes 50 New Jersey mobsters, yet a diamond theft may not be their work. Sam hosts terminal socialite Sharkey Rosenthal, who partied with the big stars. Future MIT student Leo Pedowitz turns losing his virginity into a questionable business.

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all is not merry. When three kids are abandoned by their mom, a "strawberry." Meanwhile, a Christmas elf commits Grand Theft Auto right in front of a staffer's nose.

Danny worries a sex-toy might become a rival for Delinda. He also drops an obscenely expensive bottle of wine for a prestigious auction Ed and his new sommelier Phillip Corbin, but a security complication proves a far worse nightmare. The swimming pool is infested with topless crones.

Ed doesn't like the new husband one of the hotel's former employees brings out to the desert for a weekend, while Danny and Delinda agree to buy out their partners on the property that their tenant burnt to the ground.

When a report is filed by accounting, Danny and Mike look to Ed for a pat on the back, who only prompts them to work harder, and even bets them that he can do their job better than either one of them can. Mary tries to sell the last residence suite at the Montecido.

When the Gambling Commission receives what it considers too many complaints on Ed, the board forces him to attend Anger Management. Mike considers asking for a loan from Ed in order to buy his new condo. Danny searches for an employee who is in so much need of money that he's willing to gamble with his life.

Danny sees red when a rich Arab seeks out Delinda and attempts to make her his fourth wife. But the events surrounding his death become suspicious when firefighters find out the reasons behind his death. Ed also has problems getting out of bed after straining his back the day before on the golf course. And Sam takes a personal day when a long-time friend of hers gets out of bed after being in a coma for twenty years.

An unexpected death hangs a cloud over the company picnic, where the stakes have been raised between Ed's crew and the "back of house." Mary deals with her father's trial and Sam tries to land a big spender, stealing him from a rival casino.

Danny has worries from Wallace, who rips off his place after turning down the requested favor Danny owes him; Dalinda, who walked in on the guys while they were still in the place; Ed, for placing his daughter is danger; Mary, who, unknown to Danny, has bought a gun after her father was found not guilty for crimes against her and her step-sisters; and Sam, who has inherited the Montecido and is beginning to go power crazy. Meanwhile, Ed has his own plans for the casino, which does not include retiring like his wife wants him to do, and Mike meets an old classmate, who used to have a rather unique nickname for him.

Jillian questions Ed's priorities when she finds out he's trying to purchase the Montecido. Delinda questions Danny's priorities when he's more caught up in trying to prevent a friend from being returned to Iraq than sitting down with her and finding out she's pregnant. Mike finds out Sam's plight, and Mary takes steps in helping her step-sisters' plight.

Las Vegas PD detective Max Dillon arrests Danny of killing (still missing) Mary's dad, either alone or with her, until Mitch and Mike prove there must be another suspect. Sam survives her kidnapping by dumping Vince Peterson in flight, and her attempt to recruit whales as investors for the Montecito is fruitless, after cowboy AJ Cooper pays their tax arrears.

As Cooper takes over ownership of the Montecito in a rather unique fashion, Sam recounts the events surrounding the lives of her fellow co-workers, while in therapy, including Mike's attempts to figure out how a gambler is cheating and how Danny and Delinda are getting along with the prospect of becoming new parents.

The race is on for Ed's old position when Cooper announces that he won't "give" the job to Danny. The Montecito's new concierge also appears, while Sam finds her way back to another therapy position and Delinda feels the pangs of motherhood in terms of gaining some unwanted weight.

While Danny assumes his new position as President of the Montecito, Delinda assumes he doesn't have any time for her. Meanwhile, Sam stands her ground, standing by what she saw while poolside, even if it means her job.

Mike and Danny arrive at Cooper's suite to find a dead body in his bed and things don't look good when Cooper takes off before the police arrive. Sam convinces the new concierge to babysit the son of one of her whales and the staff agrees to take part in a parenting test for Danny and Dalinda.

Cooper insists on following Sam around to find out what she does, then finds himself having to split time with some old friends in an effort to make it up to her. Delinda insists on having the control to hire a new baker for the restaurant, then regrets her decision and turns to Danny for help. Piper gets into the Halloween spirit.

When Danny stands up to a friend-stripper's boss, Dalinda convinces him to stand up for all exotic dancers, who go on strike and have an effect on all aspects of the tourist trade in Las Vegas, including Mike, whose friends happen to be in town for the sole reason of hitting the gentlemen's clubs, and Dalinda herself, who feels the pangs of impending motherhood. Sam, while in the midst of doing a favor for Piper, asks one of her in return.

Delinda predictably becomes obsessed with plans for a "green" lifestyle, while Cooper deals with an attractive adversary who's competing for the same business deal as he is and Sam, after being told her percentages are down, finds a new way to "attract" whales.

When Danny's Uncle Luke comes back into town after a 25 year absence, trouble's afoot at the Montecito.

After firing Sam, Cooper puts out the word for no one to hire her. After the casino is robbed, Danny and Mike take it upon themselves to go after the robber, no matter what the feds or Cooper's new PR man tells Danny, who suspect his uncle who recently re-surfaced in his life.

At Christmas Eve, the Montecito staff finds all seasonal preparations go wrong. After making a bad fall, having accepted solo duty so Danny can celebrate his first married Christmas period, Mike even has a Dickensian dream: three women present his past, what would have been without him and his future.

Cooper sends Danny and Mike out to the ranch to buy a horse, while Sam and Delinda are stuck in Vegas helping Piper (who's gotten a blast from the past).

Among the bounty hunters that the FBI has trailing them in an effort to catch a high priced claim jumper, is a gorgeous woman who used to be one of Danny's sergeants in Iraq, who does nothing for Dalinda's ego and her appearance. And Piper doesn't help matters, either, when she kicks Dalinda out of the pool because of the way she looks. One of Sam's whales has lost his family in a random act of violence and she feels the blues because she doesn't know how to help him.

Piper runs into trouble with the gaming commission, but Cooper bails her out, raising suspicions of the staff.

Piper and Mike go to a club to steal their bartender and wake up the next morning, married to each other. Sam has to deal with her expert cover-up man retiring and Danny tries to find a way to come up with an idea to combat the new ice bar that Cooper wants to put in the Montecito to draw new customers.

In the fashion of "White Men Can't Jump," Mike and Danny are involved in a local 2-on-2 tournament, but someone's killing the losers. Meanwhile, Mike gets a little friendly pressure to consummate their secret marriage from Piper, who also has a little pressure from her job when a magazine bigwig shows up and tests her services in the hospitality industry.

Cooper is on the trail of someone he feels is cheating while playing the horses. Danny gets convinced by Mike that he needs to do a "dry run" for the hospital. Meanwhile, Mike and Piper feel their first time was a "little dry," and end up avoiding each other all day long.

An expensive stamp gets stolen; one of Sam's whales gives her a $50,000 chip as a tip.

Mike's omission of his nuptials to his family prompts him to put together a wedding for his mother's sake, as well as his family, which prompts Danny to propose to Delinda. Sam's deceased ex-husband's brother shows up with plans to take ownership of the Montecito in his family's name.

While Danny hosts Monica's immature heir Norma Pitts, they find half a human finger in her shrimp salad: a PR nightmare for the Montecito buffet. Ed tells Danny to keep her happy. Overhearing lawyer vulture Mira Schleich offers to get Norma 'damages', Danny promises to make her dreams come true, but apparently that includes him. The cameras recorded immigrant kitchen hand Miguel Hurtado axing his own finger. His cousin Raul was to find it and settle for $10,000, the coyote ransom for his sister Maria. Whale Grimaldi insists on another host than Sam, till she throws him out of the Montecito altogether.

The Montecito experiences several financial perils. Ed Deline worries about chip cheaters who already got away with $1,200,000, and orders to divert owner Monica's attention -she hasn't even mastered the essential element of fun- to a gambler who seems to keep winning honestly, already for $300,000, while he and Mike trace all people plausibly involved, the manufacturing company and even the whereabouts of only five machines which could do the job, the takes drastic action... Meanwhile Mike and Danny close in on pick-pockets. Danny's accountant insists he should sell his late dad's house, which increased in value from almost nothing to about $1,500,000, and thus discovers a recent picture on pa's bed-stand with a woman he doesn't know at all.

Despite FBI agent Portis's supervision, the Star of Kashmir, an Indian national treasure and the world's largest sapphire, is stolen from the Montecito vault hours before it's to be exhibited. Danny reluctantly chases three reputed jewel thieves against the clock rather then officially denouncing Monica herself, who wore it alone. A seemingly supernatural magician also makes a fascinating suspect. Meanwhile Monica's expensive attempts to convince Deline to resume his manager post backfire; until she names a surprised successor.

After firing Sam, Cooper puts out the word for no one to hire her. After the casino is robbed, Danny and Mike take it upon themselves to go after the robber, no matter what the feds or Cooper's new PR man tells Danny, who suspect his uncle who recently re-surfaced in his life.

Ed Deline tells Danny McCoy that Detective Luis Perez has been killed in Iraq, informs his loved ones together and tries to correct one of his cases, probably a miscarriage of justice against Richie Betts. Mike must help casino guest Mertens to a whore just before his wife's arrival, so he takes him to Kitty ranch, then is sent back to retrieve his wedding ring, in vain, then must try to get a replica stat. Mary Connell must testify in court against Johnny Moya; the County prosecuting officer turns out to be her romantic admirer Jake Porter; they find a way to spare Moya a strike three life-term. Porter helps Danny to crucial evidence.

Danny McCoy finally has a buyer for his home, found by girl-friend Penny Posin, just like his late dad's last flame, Liz, who claims she was to be dad's bride. She hesitantly accepts the loan Danny offers to get her through medical bills until her insurance pays, but isn't it all too good to be true? Monica's 'other income' manager Olivia Duchey's cheap orders keep making everybody's job impossible; so Ed takes on the bossy owner, who lets Sam off the hook if she tells her brother Bobby he's dumped.

After the kidnapping, Delinda is mean to Danny, who can't believe she even bags on his dancing. The $1,000,000 wedding package nobody expected to run is actually ordered. It includes singing by Wayne Newton, who refuses since a bitter golf dispute with Ed. To Danny's horror the guest list includes 50 New Jersey mobsters, yet a diamond theft may not be their work. Sam hosts terminal socialite Sharkey Rosenthal, who partied with the big stars. Future MIT student Leo Pedowitz turns losing his virginity into a questionable business.

Construction CEO Monica Wells is thrown out by Ed for extreme rudeness to the Montecito staff. She files a 'sexual' complaint against Danny, whom she in fact failed to seduce while he was off duty but brought her, more drunk the him, to her suit at Delinda's insistence. It turns out legal help won't suffice, this problem is in Ed's league. Meanwhile Mystique's cash-flow results in a lunch experiment which proves hard to sell to chef Gunther or the guests.

When Danny's Uncle Luke comes back into town after a 25 year absence, trouble's afoot at the Montecito.
