After starring in the hit show Las Vegas for five seasons, Molly Sims has fallen in love with Sin City. Even now that the show has been canceled, she is still working her magic all over the town. The actress/supermodel is more than just a pretty face. She has recently been involved in charity work as well as helping to open the new Mexican restaurant, Dos Caminos at the Palazzo. To date, she has helped raise $400,000 for an orphanage in Tijuana and most of the money was raised at charity events like the one at Dos Caminos right here in Las Vegas. Sims has said that she fell in love with the city one night while at a blackjack table.

“I did really well one night turning a few dollars into $1100. That felt good,” Sims said recently in an interview with Robin Leach.

Now a big Las Vegas star, Molly Sims was once a simple country girl from Murray, Kentucky. She went to Vanderbilt University for two years and then left to pursue a career in modeling. She worked on several Old Navy ads and appeared in the Sports Illustrated “Swimsuit Issue” 5 times. In 2006, she appeared in the magazine wearing a bikini covered in diamonds that was worth $30 million. She began working with CoverGirl and she is still one of their most popular models both in print and television ads.

After six years together, Sims and actor Enrique Murciano recently called it splits. She has also recently appeared on film in movies such as Starsky and Hutch and The Benchwarmers. Although the series Las Vegas has recently been canceled Sims recently reminisced about her time on the show:

“It's been an awesome experience. You're not doing a three camera show; you're not going in for a read-through and then leaving five hours later. My day starts at anywhere from 5:45am to 6:30am and you can still be there at eleven o'clock at night. It's definitely a grueling schedule. We have great producers who really try and work with us, especially when I'm asking to go to New York all the time to do different things. For me, who went from a reoccurring to a series regular we were just hoping to get picked up as mid-season... I think any actor or actress will tell you that doing a show for five years on a network show, especially one as known as NBC, it's a pretty good mark. Even if I don't do anything else, or whatever, it's been something that I will always cherish,” said Sims in an interview with Underground Online.

Now that the show is over, Sims has more time to focus on her efforts with charity. She even takes time to go visit the orphanage that she sends money to.

“It’s more than just raising money though. I go down there over the San Diego border as often as possible and you’ll find me buying food supplies at Costco and flipping burgers for them—really sweating over the stove,” she told Robin Leach in a recent interview with Luxe Life.

Although the show may have ended, the question remains: You can take Molly Sims out of Vegas but can you take the Vegas out of Molly Sims?
