Deadpool in Las Vegas...
Well... What about EVERYTHING?!
Becoming a hero isn't going as planned for Wade, so he decides to go to Vegas for some fun. Until he meets the new 'hero' of Vegas calles 'The House'... Aka Weasel in a super suit.
Weasel knows when Deadpool shows up, shit is about the hit the fan. So he tries to get rid of him by fighting him, and even locking him in a room very simular to a room Deadpool had where he once put Al and Weasel in. Although Deadpool means no harm, Weasel doesn't trust him. Until the casino where Weasel works gets attacked. And Deadpool still wants to promote his new status as a superhero.
Solution? Become the House's new sidekick Wildcard!
Unfortunately, Deadpool only knows how to solve problems using violence as much as possible.
And of course, things end up with Weasel being blamed for everything. Poor Weasel... I just know you will get the credit you earn!
But this isn't the end of the story. The story continues with Deadpool leaving Vegas, and encountering someone he thought was just a myth.
The encountering with Ghost Rider gives us a brief glimpse in the past of Wade Wilson. You don't learn much, but it gives you a nice look at his youth.
Before I end this review, I have to mention the last part of this comic. It's a short part drawn in a more comical way, where Deadpool has to eliminate some intruders of the casino. With the small detail of Deadpool losing both eyes in the very beginning. It's hilarious with an ending you never expected.

The first part was somehow weak; but the encounter with Ghost Rider was short yet very emotional..

Fun, but essentially inessential.
Deadpool has always been a dick, but here, he's more of an arsehole. (There IS a difference, as all Team America fans will attest.)
Also, it completely wastes a golden opportunity having Deadpool and Ghost Rider interact with each other. (There are countless possibilities with that set up, and the story uses NONE OF THEM.)
It does, however, have Wade simultaneously act like Daredevil and John McClane all at once in a silly heist scene, so that's cool...

This one felt a little random and I had a little more difficulty keeping track with what was going on. I also felt like I predicted a lot of the 'plot twists' but that being said, I always enjoy Deadpool graphic novels so still a solid read.

It was OK, but it just didn't give me that "deadpool feel". Seriously not missing out on much if you skip this volume.

Ummmm, this one was... meh. Not really amazing, just Deadpool being Deadpool and some cool characters' cameos.

Well this was another disappointing volume. You see that cover!? Doesn't it look fun! Yeah, well none of that happens...at all.
This was lacking everything you expect when picking up a Deadpool story. There was no humor, the plot was incredibly predictable, and the violence was equivalent to a Transformers movie.
The story might not have been so bad if it was contained to a single issue, there was no reason for it to go on as long as it did. The story had promise but went to crap right about here...
Not sure what the point was of the one off Ghost Rider appearance, but it was better than the casino story arc.
Overall this volume was devoid of charm, wit, or any humor which is even more insulting considering the setting is Las Vegas and Deadpool could have really torn it up.
