Line 28:
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: In one episode, Delinda offers to allow a blind man to feel her face so he'll know what she looks like. The blind man in question reaches out at eye level, not noticing Delinda stood up from the stool she was on, and takes hold of her breast. The man comments "Apparently you're very tall" but makes no effort to remove his hand.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: [[Lois and Clark|Dean Cain]] guest stars in one episode as the owner of the casino. He spends two hours walking around in disguise. James Caan's character, meanwhile, had spotted him on the security cameras from the beginning, and comments [[Superman|"Does he really think a hat and a pair of glasses can make him invisible?"]]
** Vincent Ventresca and Paul Ben-Victor guest starred as a quirky duo, echoing their dynamic from ''[[The Invisible Man (TV series)|The Invisible Man]]''.
* [[Adam Westing]]: Many over the course of the show, most notably [[Jean Claude Van Damme]], who gets killed off onscreen.
* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: In one episode, some bad guys take over the Montecito security centre. Danny McCoy uses the air vent system to try and get some intelligence on them. Right after the audience starts wondering why the hotel with "the best security on the strip" has such a gaping security hole, the vent collapses, conspicuously dumping Danny in the middle of his, formally [[One-Man Army|Ed]] [[Badass Normal|Deline]]'s office. Logically, [[Genre Savvy|Ed knew it would collapse for any intruder.]]
Line 51:
* [[The Danza]]: wheelchair-bound security specialist Mitch played by real life paraplegic actor Mitch Longley.
* [[Diplomatic Impunity]]: Played utterly straight when a Syrian diplomat steals a 90 million dollar Egyptian mummy that was on display at the Montecito casino. When Ed shows up trying to stop the guy before he boards his private plane the cops just let him go on with his business by citing his personal immunity, in spite of the fact that letting a foreigner steal a national treasure would undoubtedly lead to an international incident with Egypt (which unlike Syria, has been a major US ally since 1989). However, the guy who stole the treasure was a selfish dick who simply did not give a crap who wanted it for his private collection, Deline didn't have any legally obtained, actionable evidence of the crime, and {{spoiler|Team Montecito had already stolen it back.}}
* [[Double Standard Rape (Female Onon Male)]]: One season one episode had Sam really upset by a rival, culminating in suggesting they make a fresh start, make out, then after really working him up ties him to the bed and offers him to a grotesque, obese, borderline woman.
* [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him|Dropped A Bridge On Her]]: Monica, who is fatally blown off the Montecito's roof and carried by the wind into another casino. It's a real [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]] moment, but employees are later [[Death Asas Comedy|laughing about it]].
** They were laughing about it because she was an [[Asshole Victim]]. Even ''she'' admitted she wasn't very nice.
* [[Egopolis]]: Neither of them gets the chance to go through with it, but before her death billionaire Monica Mancuso planned to rename the Montecito Resort and Casino ''The Monica'' when she was the property's owner, while Sam Marquez toys with renaming it the "''Samecito''" when she later inherits the ownership from Casey Manning.
Line 71:
* [[Hot Mom]]: Cheryl Ladd as Gillian Deline, and later {{spoiler|Delinda}}.
* [[Informed Ability]] - It wasn't explicitly referenced often, but Danny's status as an ex-Marine made his fighting and marksmanship talents more believeable.
* [[Interrogation Byby Vandalism]]: Ed Deline and Jack Keller do this to get info from an effeminate artist by destroying his paintings, virtually giving the guy a heart attack in the process.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] - Heart of gold might be stretching it a bit, but Sam had enough genuinely nice and selfless moments, where she did something kind even though there was nothing in it for her, to keep her from being a pure [[Jerkass]] or [[Ice Queen]].
* [[Lesbian Subtext]] - In 'Fleeting Cheating Meeting' Mary and Sam argue over Sam's poor behavior before deciding to kiss and make up. They do this by making out on the floor.
** Sperm Whales and Spearmint Rhinos: Mary and Sam may or may not have had sex after a night out at a strip club. Also Delinda called dibs on the girl in the gold top while they were out.
Line 89:
** This gets him in trouble a few episodes later when {{spoiler|Danny tells Ed to give him and Delinda some space, then realizes Ed's installed spy cameras in their suite. He punches Ed in the face.}}
* [[Prison Rape]]: Threatened a couple of times after Sam ''had a rival raped.''
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Nessa put ''herself'' on a bus, and at the end of Season 4, both Ed and Mary left town to avoid {{spoiler|getting charged with murder for killing Mary's father.}}
* [[Rape Asas Backstory]] - Mary was molested by her father, which informed much of her character.
* [[Retired Badass]] - Ed's jobs as Chief of Security and President of Operations came '''after''' he'd left his first job: Chief of Counter-Intelligence for the Central Intelligence Agency.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] - Ed and Danny go on one of these together when {{spoiler|Delinda is kidnapped}}.
