What Season 5 of Las Vegas

A mysterious cowboy pays off the debts of the Montecito and becomes its new owner. A.J. Cooper replaces Ed and soon announces that some employees will be laid off, unsettling the entire team. Meanwhile, the security of the hotel-casino remains in the hands of Danny and Mike, who keep watch over card sharks, card counters and rivals trying to steal their customers. Trouble comes nonstop: the murder of Mary's father, a robbery at the hotel, a dead woman in Cooper's suite, or a fugitive hiding in the building. Danny and Mike compete for the job of chief operating officer, and Sam tries to overcome her kidnapping in therapy. Piper, Delinda and the rest of the staff have their own problems too.
