Lucky Jackson arrives in Las Vegas with his car literally in tow ready for the first Grand Prix — once he has the money for an engine. He gets the cash easily enough but mislays it when the pretty pool manageress takes his mind off things. It seems he'll lose both race and girl, problems complicated by rivalry from womanizing fellow racer Elmo Mancini.

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.

Thin even by Presley standards.

fresh:
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.
