Plot[]
The show centered on Nancy Blansky, a a long-time Las Vegas showbiz veteran who is currently a den mother to a bevy of beautiful Las Vegas showgirls. In addition to keeping order in the chaotic apartment complex where they all lived, she staged the girls' big numbers at the Oasis Hotel.
To help Nancy defray costs of her apartment, Ethel Akalino (known as Sunshine) and Bambi shared it with her, along with her nephews Joey DeLuca, a choreographer and leering, 12-year-old ("going on 28"), Anthony DeLuca. Anthony was forever trying to impress Bambi, who much to his chagrin treated him like a kid brother, as did almost all of Nancy's girls. Emilio (Johnny Desmond), the maître d', was Nancy's boyfriend.
Also sharing Nancy's apartment was a huge Great Dane named Blackjack who was shown in the opening credits playing blackjack.
