Danny McCoy

Danny McCoy is Ed's apprentice, surrogate son, and best friend who was later promoted to Head of Security. After Ed’s resignation in 2005, Danny was made President of Operations of the Montecito Resort & Casino for a brief period. However, following Ed's return, Danny officially returned to his position as Head of Security in Season 3. He was born and raised in Las Vegas. Towards the end of Season 2, his father Larry McCoy died in an accident, and Danny inherited his house and McCoy Construction, his construction company. Danny sold his father's house and used it to pay for his condo. Establishing shots suggest his condo is in the Turnberry Towers. He is a former U.S. Marine, with guerrilla training and counterintelligence training. He was recalled into military service in Iraq at the end of Season 1. In Season 2, he was awarded the Silver Star after he called in an air strike over himself and his unit when they were ambushed and overrun.
