Vegas, Baby, Vegas: The Most Unforgettable Cliffhanger This Side of the Bellagio Fountain (and it Wasn't Planned!)
Ah, Las Vegas. The city of lights, the clinking of slot machines, and... a TV show finale that left more people scratching their heads than a roulette player on a losing streak. Buckle up, friends, because we're diving into the glorious mess that was the ending of "Las Vegas."

The Setup: A Casino in Mourning
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
Season five throws us a curveball faster than a showgirl on roller skates. Our beloved silver fox, A.J. Cooper (played by the one and only Tom Selleck), supposedly meets his maker in a plane crash. The gang at the Montecito is distraught. Tissues are flowing faster than free cocktails at a happy hour. Meanwhile, security chief Mike Cannon is trying real hard not to shed a manly tear (because, you know, security chiefs).
Enter Vic Manning: The Villain with a Plan (Maybe? We Never Really Found Out)
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
But hold on to your sequined cocktail dresses, folks! Just when you think things can't get any more dramatic, Vic Manning, the show's resident antagonist (think less Moriarty, more "guy who cuts you in line at the buffet"), swoops in with a plan more audacious than a magician pulling a tiger out of a hat. We're talking shady investors, shell companies, and enough paperwork to wallpaper the Bellagio. His goal? To snag ownership of the Montecito, of course!
A Twist Worthy of a Vegas Magic Show (Except the Audience Threw Their Popcorn)
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.
Just when you think you've seen it all, A.J. COOPER WALKS IN ALIVE! Yes, you read that right. The presumed-dead casino owner strolls into his own memorial service like nothing ever happened. Cue gasps, fainting couch dives, and maybe even a round of applause (because hey, that was a good entrance).

Delinda's Drama: A Bun in the Oven and a Cliffhanger We Still Haven't Recovered From
Tip: Summarize the post in one sentence.
Lost in the Montecito mayhem is a subplot that would make even the most seasoned soap opera writer blush. Danny's fiance�, Delinda, is expecting a bouncing baby McCoy. Awww, how sweet! Except... wait for it... Right after A.J.'s Lazarus act, Delinda starts bleeding! Dun dun DUNNNNN! Is it stress from the whole "dead fianc� coming back to life" thing? Is it something more serious? The world may never know. Because that's where the episode – and the entire series – ends!
So, How Did Las Vegas REALLY End?
In a word: confusingly. The show was cancelled after season five, leaving a ton of unresolved storylines and a cliffhanger that could rival the Grand Canyon. We never find out what happens to Delinda and the baby. Does Vic Manning succeed in his casino takeover plot? Does Danny finally get his happily ever after (with a healthy baby, we hope)? The answers, my friends, are lost in the Nevada desert, along with A.J.'s supposed plane wreckage.
How to Deal with Your Post-Las Vegas Ending Trauma (FAQ):
- How to Grieve the Loss of a Show (Especially with Such a Frustrating Ending): Allow yourself to feel the feels. Rage tweet about the injustice. Write a scathing letter to the network executives (though they probably won't read it). Then, move on to a new TV obsession.
- How to Imagine Your Own Ending for Las Vegas: Gather your friends, grab some snacks, and have a brainstorming session. Did Delinda have a healthy baby? Did Danny and Delinda name the baby AJ Jr.? Did Vic Manning get his comeuppance? The possibilities are endless (and probably more satisfying than the ending we never got).
- How to Find Solace in Reruns: Las Vegas may be over, but the first four seasons are still there to enjoy (and hey, at least they have proper endings... ish).
- How to NOT Get Frustrated by Cliffhangers: This one's a tough one. Maybe just avoid TV shows altogether? Just kidding (kind of). There's no foolproof way to avoid cliffhangers, but you can always watch shows that are already finished to avoid the disappointment.
- How to Move On With Your Life: Seriously, there are more important things in the world than a cancelled TV show (probably). But hey, at least it gave us some good laughs (and a whole lot of frustration) along the way
