WILLIE As a broad swordsman at the Excalibur dinner theatre shows and a hunky male model, Willie is "the dude with a dream." This Montana born and bred hottie is sure that one day his chiseled face and shredded abs will make him famous. Willie accepts random modeling gigs to fill in his resume and gain experience that he hopes one day will make him a fortune. Willie is a natural charmer who the ladies find hard to resist. He has just landed a role in Cirque Du Soleil's racy new show, Zumanity. Only problem is, Willie's not such a great dancer and he is currently taking dance lessons to improve his performance. Willie's misadventures are endearing and fun to watch.

JJ JJ is an executive assistant to the billionaire bachelor Maloof brothers. His sole job is to go to almost any length to show the high rolling guests and big name celebrity clients of the Palms hotel an unforgettable time while they're in Vegas. JJ is the gatekeeper to excess, with nearly an all-access pass to the exclusive clubs, headlining acts, private jets and five star restaurants - the decadent side of Vegas that many dream of and only a very few see.

JENNER EVANS Tired of Los Angeles and looking to start a new life, Jenner recently moved to Las Vegas to launch an online business and fulfill her dream to write and publish a lifestyle web magazine, hoping to craft it into a Maxim for women. This smart, beautiful, ambitious model had been using her intellect to pay the bills. Her most recent job was doing homework for a slacker rich kid at USC. In Vegas, she's looking to find financial backers for her online magazine and infiltrate the local scene to learn everything there is to know about business and life in Sin City.

RICK DEJESUS Rick is the sexy lead singer for his band "Adelita's Way". Rick grew up on the rough streets of South Philadelphia and originally thought baseball was his way out of a potential life of crime. He received a scholarship to play at Arizona State University, but two years into his collegiate career, Rick called it quits after he reignited his love of music and his real desire to become a rock star. Rick and his band headed to Vegas with the hopes of making it big. In little time their indy rock sound developed a huge following, often playing to packed Las Vegas houses. They've recently signed with a top music manager and their hit songs are getting air time on Vegas radio stations. Rick hopes to land a recording contract with a major label sometime this year.

GRETA This hometown beauty's passion lies outside the city limits of Vegas. Greta has dreams of life in LA, she wants to be a star and is convinced that can't happen for her in Vegas. In pursuit of her goal to save money to get out of dodge, Greta is working as a waitress at the rock n' roll club The Rainbow Bar and Grill, picking up extra shifts, saving all of her tips and taking in new roommate Jenner, who ironically has fled LA for a new life in Vegas. Greta is convinced that LA is the place where she can make it big in spite of the example of her good friend Willie, who himself is starring in a show on the strip and has gotten numerous modeling and acting gigs right in her hometown. Conveniently, Greta's crush Rick, the rising rock star, frequently plays at the Rainbow but will he become a distraction Greta doesn't need if she is going to focus on her dream of becoming an actress?

APRIL Fresh from Chicago, April is losing her innocence quickly in Vegas. She traded her 9 to 5 architectural landscaping career for a bunny outfit and now serves up cocktails at the new Playboy Club in the ultra chic Palms hotel. She also recently broke up with her long time live-in boyfriend and is now tackling Vegas as a newly single woman. April is ready to let loose…Will she put Rick in her sights? When she is not working at the club, she is lining up modeling gigs during the day and running with her partner in crime, Molly, to learn who to meet and who to stay away from on the party circuit.

LACY This daughter of a casino executive is the life of the party, a skill she mastered in her hometown of Miami. She loves to shop and have a good time but knows how to get to work when the time comes. Working as a casino cocktail waitress, Lacy exemplifies how working hard in Vegas can pay off and how one can afford to live "the glamorous life." Everyone wants this kooky fun girl around and with her roomie, Greta, the two are poised to show newbie Jenner everything that Vegas has to offer.

JESSIE Jessie came to Las Vegas by way of Philadelphia in pursuit of rock n' roll stardom as one third of the rising band, "Adelita's Way". Jessie, the youngest of the group, shares an apartment with band mates and cousins, Rick and Donnie. This bass player has dreams of moving into a swank condo on the strip in the near future but first his band needs a hit song and record deal. If the attention this hottie gets from the girls on his My Space page is any indication, success may not be far behind.

DONNIE Donnie rounds out the rock group "Adelita's Way" as the band's lead guitarist. This introspective musician is the center of the group and most times you can find Donnie with a guitar in hand honing his craft. The pressure is on to write a hit song and to find a stage presence that doesn't get overshadowed by his dynamic cousin Rick. Donnie's biggest challenge though, is to keep his eyes on the prize and away from his "Adelita's Way" groupies.

DESTINY This smart and sexy Playboy Playmate is tougher than she looks. Law student by day, cocktail waitress by night, this gorgeous girl proves that brains and beauty can come together. In her down time, Destiny hangs out with her best friend, JJ, and gal pals, Molly and April, giving out sound advice as the voice of reason. Destiny tells it like it is and knows what it takes to win.

ANTHONY As a well-known hypnotist at Paris Hotel and Casino, Anthony is living the dream headlining on the strip. Anthony has six exotic cars and a 5000 square foot home with a hotel size swimming pool. Anthony says that there is usually no booze left when the sun comes up after one of his parties, which usually have buddies Willie and Rick in attendance. Anthony's face is on billboards all over town so everybody knows "Anthony Cools." His busy lifestyle has kept him single, and he prefers it that way for now.
