Eric Szmanda was at the Monte Carlo TV Festival in Monaco. He was there to help promote CSI: Vegas to the international audience. Each year, they give different actors from the series a chance to go to the festival and represent the show.

I’m not a fan of the vesty-jackety-thing he’s wearing in these shots. What’s your opinion?

…a crime scene-decorated cake, that is!

Check out these fun photos of the cast & crew of CSI: Vegas when they celebrated their 200th episode yesterday on the lot at Universal Studios. The cake is hilarious! It’s a crime scene, complete with a chalk-body marking, crime scene tape and a magnifying glass. I love it!! It’s absolutely the most appropriate cake for the occasion.

And it looks like everyone except Gary Dourdan & Jorja Fox were there to celebrate too. Check out the photo with Laurence Fishburne, William Petersen, Marg Helgenberger, Paul Guilfoyle, Liz Vassey, George Eads, Eric Szmana, Lauren Lee Smith, Archie Kao, David Berman & Robert David Hall.

I don’t see Lauren Lee Smith, Wallace Langham, Paul Guilfoyle or Gary Dourdan, But Robert David Hall, David Berman, Liz Vassey, George Eads, Jorja Fox, Eric Szmanda, Marg Helgenberger and Archie Kao all were there.

Air Date: October 16, 2008

The show begins with Sara and Grissom sharing moments in bed. As obvious as it is that they still care deeply for each other, he can’t convince her to stay in Vegas. His phone rings. It’s the lab.

A woman, Sprig Grenigier, leaps to her death from an apartment window. The team begins investigating the apartment and surrounding scene. They are unconvinced that Sprig committed suicide. Minutes before her death, she had received a phone call from a payphone across the street from the apartments.

Meanwhile, Grissom leads the investigation at the scene of a woman’s body in the alley behind a pawn shop. Her eyes have been poked and ruptured like a pair of grapes, as if by a pair of thumbs.
