From FOX's summertime dud "The Casino" to Discovery Channel's relatively better received "American Casino," unscripted shows set in the world of gambling and debauchery have been a familiar sight this summer. A&E is looking to get into the fray with "Caesars," a reality show set in and around Las Vegas' Caesars Palace.

"We're thrilled to have Caesars Palace as the setting for our next real-life series," says Abbe Raven, executive vice president and general manager at A&E Network. "Viewers will have the unique opportunity, thanks to the unprecedented access Caesars has given us for the show, to experience the compelling stories that happen behind the scenes at the world's most famous resort and casino."

Caesars has given A&E unprecedented access to the casino's staff and to the tourists who flood it's 80 acre property on the Vegas Strip.

"We are pleased to have a television partner of the caliber of A&E Network to capture the innumerable intriguing stories to be found inside the storied walls of Caesars Palace," says Mark Juliano, the casino's president. "Caesars Palace possesses a mystique that eludes any other casino in Las Vegas. It is the perfect venue for A&E to create an engaging and entertaining television program which will showcase Las Vegas in an unscripted style as has never been done before."

Discovery's "American Casino" went behind the scenes of the Green Valley Ranch casino/hotel in Henderson, Nev. The network has stopped filming on the show in the wake of the death of Michael Tata, the ranch's vice president of hotel operations.

"The Casino" has been a rare ratings failure for "Survivor" guru Mark Burnett. The show has averaged only 4.85 million viewers and it won't return to FOX's schedules after its summer run.
