Kaake is a real piece of work. Security chief Howard Keel does catch him skimming chips and he's got no future in the casino industry. Which makes him look very good when one of the owners Andreas Katsulas does a swan dive off the Penthouse balcony. Later on pit boss Stephen Macht is found shot to death.
JB Fletcher is not happy especially since Kaake is exposed to be a liar, a cheat, and a thief. But she's not convinced he's a murderer and when JB Fletcher isn't satisfied she goes to whatever length there is to get the truth.
Nice establishing shots of Las Vegas and the inside of the casino do capture the ambiance. There's also a nice cameo by Connie Sawyer who asks Angela Lansbury to tend her slot machine while she goes for a pit break.
