Short summary
Unique in Danish television because of the use of laugh tracks. The show was never recorded in front of a live audience, but shown to an audience afterwards, where their reactions was recorded.
The show takes place 8290 km from Las Vegas, but the title (= Far away from Las Vegas) also refers to how different the character's lifestyle and the show itself is to the glamorous, American way. Being an adaptation of the American genre sit-com.
The third longest running Danish sit-com after "Huset på Christianshavn" and "Klovn".
Casper Christensen and Frank Hvam was already interested in working with Klaus Bondam before creating the show, but another actor considered the part of Niels Buckingham was Bent Mejding.

Casper Christensen and Frank Hvam were fans of the Danish band Superheroes with lead singer Thomas Troelsen and chose them to create the music for the show.
After each season run the cast would meet with Danish talk-show host Michael Meyerheim to reflect on past episodes and discuss where the series was heading. These 3 half-hour TV-specials, broadcast by TV 2/Zulu, were promoted as 'Langt fra Las Vegas Specials', although this title was never used onscreen. The TV-specials are Langt fra Las Vegas vs. Michael Meyerheim (2002) (reflecting on season 2), Langt fra Las Vegas i nærheden af Meyerheim (2002) (reflecting on season 3) and Langt fra Las Vegas møder Meyerheim (2003) (reflecting on season 4).
