Production

Filming began in January 2004, at the Green Valley Ranch hotel and casino in Henderson, Nevada.[4][5][6] Approximately 600 hours of footage was shot for the first hour-long episode.[7]

Michael Tata, vice president of hotel operations, died of an accidental fentanyl overdose on July 6, 2004.[8][9] Prior to Tata's death, more than a dozen additional episodes had been planned for the series' first season, which initially consisted of 13 episodes.[10] The ending of the series' seventh episode, airing on July 16, 2004, acknowledged Tata's death: "In memory of Michael Tata."[11] In August 2004, the show was renewed for an additional 18 episodes.[12] Later that month, an episode involving Tata's death was delayed without explanation until later in the year.[13]
