Eamonn & Ruth Do Vegas
Factual / 9pm / Channel 5
During their series How the
Other Half Lives, Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford brushed up against lavish wealth, but what they see in Las Vegas in this documentary is mindblowing. With apartments containing their own basketball courts and casinos sending private jets to collect their best customers, the extravagance is on an extreme scale. Eamonn even gets to choose the music for the famous Bellagio fountains to ‘dance’ to, a privilege for which people will happily pay $250,000. ‘The extraordinary becomes the ordinary,’ explains Eamonn. ‘Everything is goldplated, the service is seven-star and the limos are bigger than anything you’ve seen before.’
