For several months Rotorua locals who may have noticed film crews going about their work throughout town now have a date to look forward to seeing the fruits of that labour.
The television series Vegas will launch on TVNZ 2 at 8.30pm on April 19.
In the new thriller-action series, a drug deal gone wrong on a blood-stained night sets off a chain of events for dangerous factions and a local business owner.
The series was filmed in Rotorua and stars an array of talented wāhine and tāne, including some of Rotorua's own top creative talent.
One of those is Cousins' actress Cian Elyse White who plays wāhine toa Toni Poulan, a local business owner who becomes the central suspect in a drug deal gone wrong.
