Dan Tanna is a private investigator in the gambling town of Las Vegas, Nevada. Las Vegas can be seedy or glamorous, depending upon the point of view. This show is also notable for perhaps the only known portrayal of a house with a “drive-in” living room. Starring: Robert Urich as Dan Tanna, Phyllis Davis as Beatrice Travis, Bart Braverman as Bobby “Binzer” Borso, Judy Landers as Angie Turner, Tony Curtis as Philip Roth, Greg Morris as Lt. David Nelson, Naomi Stevens as Sgt. Bella Archer.
PLEASE POST THE REST OF EP 1!!!! LOL
@Eusepio1957 Amen brother
I had the pleasure to meet Robert Urich when I watched them film on location at Desert Springs Hospital here in Vega$. He was a true gentleman. He went out of his way to give autographs. He’ll truly be missed!!
Where can you get this video on DVD?
Robert Urich defined the Cool in cool long before anyone new what it was, and for that we should all be thankful. So Thank you Robert, you are not only a gentleman, but one cool dude!! We will remember you always.

you’re gone early
Vega$: The First Season is now available through Amazon. I wish Hulu would show it.
Hell Yeah!
Great show! Phyllis Davis alone made this worth watching.
the taste of the old times….thanks youtube for post it!!!!
Is this show on DVD yet?
It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO different now..on the strip (I live here)
I used to lovr this show. I espacially loved the opening theme music. And Phyllis Davis (Bea) was so so hot.. And Urich’s real life wife, Heather Menzies was in 2 episodes.
Talk about paying your dues. I never realized Michael Mann wrote the pilot to “Vegas.” I do remember Dan Tanna’s from the climax, though, when he’s confronting Michael Lerner: “I’m the Lone Ranger, and I’m gonna bust you.”
Vegas is on DVD now!! Check Amazon or Best Buy.
Just FYI..
Dian Parkinson, from the Price Is Right, appears in the Pilot episode. In the opening credits of the Vegas tv show, she is the blond woman kissing Tanna…
@GORDITO1000
The first season just came out in the last few months.
@Fitzliputzli23
He gets it midway through this episode.
@ShakinJonny Season 1 is out on DVD!
Me too!!!
Put this series on DVD, and make a new up todate movie!
I know that dean martin play in one or two episodes, who could find them and put on, I will be so glad to see.
The Maxim was the “Home” hotel in this show pilot..The regular weekly series had the “D.I.” or Desert Inn as the home hotel…
I have some photos I took in 1983 of Urich’s “home”, which was located behind the First Interstate Bank, just north of Circus Circus…
Both Urich and co star Greg Morris both bough houses in las Vegas, and continued to live there (at least part time) after the series ended..Morris died in Las Vegas in 1996.
Dan might have been cool but what about all the beautiful women?
Wow I hit 5:07 the end of the video and forgot I was watching youtube and not the real show which I have not seen for 30 yrs (more more)…..maybe it’s out on DVD?
Thanks for the snipit.
I agree with the comments. This was a great cult classic show. Mr. Urich was Mr. Television in so many ways. The Vegas of yesteryear was great. Now its an overbuilt, ugly mess like a couple people here have pointed out. Robert died way to young. Thanks for posting this!
