Plot summary

Lucky Jackson 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.

Oh la la Ann-Margret

Like all of ELVIS PRESLEY movie musical/comedies, this one is pretty lame story wise...BUT... a big BUT...This has ANN-MARGRET. She steals the show in every way. As someone posted, when she dances, no one, not even Elvis' biggest fans, can take their eyes off ANN. Wow. What a talent. Too bad she rose to fame just as the movie musical was dying out. She was lucky enough to make the remake of STATE FAIR and one other musical BYE-BYE BIRDIE. What a knock-out. No wonder the Colonal didn't want anyone like her again to star opposite his meal ticket. Never before and never again did was anyone even close to ANN-MARGRET cast opposite him. They all paled by comparison. VIVA LAS VEGAS is worth the cost just to skim through all the musical numbers, especially ANN'S. ELVIS is not bad in this endeavor either, but it's ANN'S show all the way.

Ann-Margret, what a cool woman.

For me this is one of Elvis' best, and all because of his oh-so cool leading lady. The songs are terrific; using some priceless musical banter and really catchy tunes- check out the duet "She Loves Me". And, of course, that amazingly 60s dance number set in the college gymnasium "Lovin' my Baby". Ann-Margret is simply brilliant and there is a real chemistry between herself and the King. Watch this film if you get the opportunity.
