10pm, Channel 4
Actor Compston is married to a woman from Vegas; this three-part documentary sees him trying to get a handle on a place that has never quite felt like home. He’s a cheerful guide to this bizarre city of hype, neon and casinos, checking out a hotel room with its own basketball court and blowing a hypothetical $20k on four hands of blackjack. Eventually, you understand both the excitement and the reservations engendered by the place. Phil Harrison
