Synopsis
Lucky Jackson (Elvis) arrives in town with his car literally in tow ready for the first Las Vegas Grand Prix - once he has the money to buy an engine. He gets the cash easily enough but mislays it when the pretty swimming pool manageress takes his mind off things. It seems he will lose both race and girl, problems made more difficult by rivalry from Elmo Mancini, fellow racer and womaniser.
Critics' reviews
- "Presley's one really good musical, mainly because it features a female costar, Ann-Margret, who can match the coiffed one in the charisma stakes."
- "The sizzling combination of Elvis Presley and Ann-Margaret is enough to carry Viva Las Vegas over the top."
- "Vulgar, spirited, and neglected director George Sidney meets his match with this 1964 Elvis Presley vehicle."
- "Coming on a balmy day, with no pretensions of art, Viva Las Vegas, the new Elvia Presley vehicle, is about as pleasant and unimportant as a banana split. And as fetching to look at, it might be added."
- "Elvis not only rocks the city of lights but also showed he could act."
