CBS Vegas (Tuesdays, 10 p.m.) Based on the true and bloody tale of the Mob's building then controlling the Las Vegas of modern times from a dusty desert wasteland in the Rat Pack years. That's distilled here into a mano a mano struggle between Sheriff Ralph Lamb (Dennis Quaid) and Chicago heavy Vincent Savino (Michael Chiklis). Think Bonanza meets Casino. **Guy Appeal: **Chiklis alone is worth the time, and this looks like his best gig since The Shield. Let's hope this paragon of playing evil and dark is relieved of any antihero ambiguity. Plus, showgirls aplenty, not to mention the possibility of strippers and floozies. But the real story here is, well, gangsters vs. cowboys, old vs. new, virtue vs. vice—and the fact that it's co-ecutive produced by Nick Pileggi of GoodFellas fame.
