NBC has cancelled gambling drama series Las Vegas after five seasons, leaving last Friday’s cliffhanger as the series finale:

Sources confirm to me exclusively that NBC has opted not to renew the show for a sixth season. Consequently, last Friday’s episode? Yep, that was the series finale. Hope it was satisfying!

NBC had hoped this season’s cast shake-up — Thomas Magnum replacing Sonny Corleone — might re-energize the show, but instead, it led to a double-digit ratings decline. Of course, the Friday time slot didn’t help.

Ah, NBC wasn’t ready to gamble (pun intended) on another season of Las Vegas and executives at the fourth place network continue to prove that they belong at the bottom by disappointing loyal fans with their abrupt decision.
