ORIGINAL EPISODES, FRIDAYS @ 10PM ON NBCWell, I just have to say it, Mitch what were you thinking?! The man is in a wheelchair and he wants to fight Strip Club Bodyguards? You'd barely have a chance if you were able to walk! Still, it was very funny and it was nice to see Mitch getting some camera time outside of the surveillance room. So obviously there was a fight in a strip club to start the episode. This led to tonight's theme of "Free the Strippers." Well, not exactly; but after the fight, which all started because Danny was talking to one of the strippers who he grew up with, Delinda decided to organize a union for all Las Vegas Strippers. They wanted respect, better benefits, and child care. The only problem as Cooper put it, was credibility.
Delinda, without asking Danny, used his name as President of Operations at the Montecito to give the strike support. As Cooper said, the strippers lacked credibility because, well, they take their clothes off for a living. Danny lacked credibility because he was a no name Vegas resident AND he grew up with many of the strippers. So what does Cooper do? By the end of the episode he has a Nevada Congresswoman come out in support of the strike because she had been a stripper to put herself through law school. He also bought the strip club where the fight took place, hired new strippers (only the best since they were all on strike and he could choose anyone he wanted), and gave in to the union demands which forced all the other clubs to give in. So although Cooper remained a mystery up to this point we know that he is an incredibly intelligent businessman and NEVER does anything unless their is something in it for him. What this means as we go on is that the people at the Montecito better watch their backs and not put too much trust in him or they may get burned. He certainly isn't Ed and far from it.
Meanwhile, Piper (Camille Guaty) made a sex tape that was accidentally returned in a DVD rental box to the Montecito library. Unfortunately for her Sam's whale saw it and wanted to get with her. As it turns out, he really wanted to get with another girl in the video but for the entirety of the episode we got to watch Piper squirm and Sam take full advantage. Piper took full advantage of the stripper strike when Mike's friends came into town. They were three married guys who came to Vegas once a year to see strippers and get away from married life. When they went on strike we had many hilarious moments from these guys as they cried their way through the weekend. I especially loved when one of them tried to tackle Danny for taking away the girls. Piper came up with the genius idea that she would strip for them and take the money they would have paid the strippers. She made $4000 for like a half hour with them! Not too shabby. Personally I think Piper has been a great addition to the show and should be made a regular cast member. She's fun, hilarious, and entertaining.
My only problem so far is that Delinda needs to chill. Ever since Ed left and she got pregnant she's been liked hyper-Delinda. She's always running around doing something ridiculous and treating Danny like a two year old; which I sort of understand because the guy acts like it. His friend Angie (the stripper) had her some over his place and he did the whole "pull my finger" joke with him. This guy is definitely not ready to be a father; he's immature and irresponsible. I don't know how he runs the Montecito but at least in his personal life this is true.
Decent episode. As always "Las Vegas" is at its heart just a fun show. When it doesn't take itself to seriously it's great. Until next week, enjoy the review!
