Episode Status
The status of the CBS version is unknown outside of a 1974 episode traded among collectors and five 1973 episodes held by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. Repeats aired for a time in syndication during late 1977, most notably on WPIX in New York and KHJ in Los Angeles. While it is possible that the series remains intact (CBS had scaled back its erasure of older tapes by the time Gambit premiered), the lack of episodes mean they are generally presumed to be lost.
Only seven episodes of Las Vegas Gambit are known to exist, despite NBC scaling back its wiping practices by 1980. Among the episodes that exist are the first and last aired episodes.

Famous quotes containing the words episode and/or status:
“Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”
—A.J. (Arthur James)
