VIDEO – 4½/5, AUDIO – 4¼/5

Universal Studios Home Entertainment releases Las Vegas: The Complete Series onto Blu-ray for the first time where each episode is presented with a 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio as originally televised. While the first episode does show quite a bit of grain, the remaining episodes are well balanced in its colors. Detail throughout the series was fairly sharp especially considering the age (going on 20 years… yikes).

All episodes have a solid DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track showcasing strong dialogue and good depth with the sounds of casino as well as the generic TV series score. As with the DVD releases, the Elvis “A Little Less Conversation” has been replaced with the syndicated “Let it Roll” song (similar thing happened with the Dawson’s Creek DVD and Blu-ray releases.
