The show was canceled after five seasons due to a combination of factors:
* Declining ratings: While initially successful, the show's viewership gradually decreased throughout its run.
* High production costs: "Las Vegas" was a visually lavish show, featuring elaborate sets, costumes, and special effects, which made it expensive to produce.
* Network changes: NBC, the network that aired the show, underwent some restructuring and changes in programming strategy during the show's run.
Ultimately, the combination of these factors led to the show's cancellation in 2008.
