From call-girl murders, land disputes, business fallouts, and celebrity protection, Vega$ covers the underbelly of the shimmering desert oasis in Nevada. Created by Michael Mann, Vega$ stars Robert Urich as private eye Dan Tanna. Tanna's circle of confidants includes two assistants, Beatrice (Phyllis Davis) and Angie (Judy Landers); his legman, Bobby "Binzer" Broso (Bart Braverman); two friends from his Vietnam service, Harlon Two-Leaf (Will Sampson) and Mitch Costigan (Chick Vennera); and a local police lieutenant, David Nelson (Greg Morris). Desert Inn owner Phil "Slick" Roth (Tony Curtis) is Tanna's landlord - and the source for many of his cases.
