Dante,
can tell you from reading about it in the papers here in Vegas, they wrapped up filming a couple weeks ago.
Words is the finale was a big pool party and the owners put something like 10,000 (don't know if the figure is accurate) in chips in varying denominations in the pool and let everyone dive in after them.
The show follows the new owners of the Golden Nugget and supposedly gives a glimpse into the behind the scenes of a casino. Anything with Vegas in it is a hit, even that awful James Caan show.
Personally, I don't like it because as a table games dealer and supervisor it will glamorize our job and then every idiot tourist that comes here will think he can do the same thing we can do. I think it will be very different from the reality of what we do day-to-day and will be heavily edited to make it seem more intriguing and exciting than it really is.

Whether it's good or not, or if it's a hit (two things that can be mutually exclusive), it's still a nice coup for the Golden Nugget's new owners because it's basically a free one-hour advertisment for their property in particular and Las Vegas and general.
I'll check it out the first few weeks, but if it doesn't have any substance (ala "Las Vegas") I'll stop watching.
