American Casino is an American reality television series which tracks the daily events of the managers and employees of the Green Valley Ranch Casino resort in Henderson, Nevada, a suburb of Las Vegas. The show originally aired on the Discovery Channel, but in June 2005, it was moved to the Travel Channel. In other countries including Europe, the show continues to air on Discovery.
The show began airing on June 4, 2004 and was loosely patterned after Discovery Channel's successful American Chopper reality show.
Subjects of the show have included:
Relatively free of interpersonal drama, episodes have included a behind the scenes look during rock concerts, slot promotions, blackjack tournaments, weddings, and other events.
One episode followed memorial events after the sudden death of Michael Tata, one of the shows subjects. Tata, 33, died of an accidental fentanyl overdose in July 2004.[1]
