Some extra photos from this episode:
The opening scene in this episode was at a golf range. The above vehicle used to pick up the golf balls was shown. If you look closely you will see actor Luis Delgado driving it. Luis was a regular on the Rockford Files, usually playing a uniform police officer. Delgado was the brother-in-law to one of the show's producers, Roy Huggins.

Old Vegas was great. Yes the new Vegas is big abd beautiful but the 1960's and 70's Vegas was crazy.
You are not alone. I always thought Jesse was one hot cookie. You have good taste.
