More Hawaiian shirts and Ferraris in "Vegas"...?

From Hollywood Reporter:

Emmy winner Tom Selleck is in discussions to join NBC's Las Vegas as the fast-paced drama's new leading man. He would play the smart, powerful, fun-loving new owner of Montecito Resort & Casino, a new character designed to fill the void left by the recent departure of the show's star James Caan.

Caan recently left the series to return to features. Vegas, from NBC Universal TV Studio and DreamWorks TV, was picked up for a fifth season in February and is slated to begin production on its order soon. The show also is looking to add a beautiful female concierge in the wake of the departure of co-star Nikki Cox.

Selleck's starring role on "Vegas" would mark his first regular gig on a drama series since his Emmy-winning turn on "Magnum, P.I." He followed that up with memorable recurring roles on NBC's hit comedy "Friends" and, most recently, on ABC's dramedy "Boston Legal."

Having just started watching the show (and enjoying it significantly) I'm sad to see James Caan go. But it'll be interesting to see the 'stache return to weekly television.
