    WIn £5000 with CSI Vegas (from 21/08/10) The man doing the voiceover said that the competition closes "somewhen later in August" which was not particularly useful, so I have guessed at the end date.

    What does the C in CSI stand for:
    A) Criminal
    B) Crime :)
    C) Chief

    Post entries to Vegas 5, P O Box 62244, London N8 1BB

    Sorry I wasn't quick enough to note details for telephone & text entries.
