Member Rating:  
Viva Las Vegas, one of Elvis Presley's most popular vehicles, adheres as rigidly to formula as a Kabuki dance. Elvis plays a race-car driver competing in the Las Vegas Grand Prix opposite his principal rival, Cesare Danova. To finance his entry, Elvis takes a job as a casino waiter. Naturally, he is occasionally prevailed upon to sing, making one wonder why he didn't choose this talent as a means of making some quick cash. As always, Elvis chases all the wrong girls, only to ignore the "right" one, portrayed by Ann-Margret in her considerable youthful prime (We're supposed to believe that A-M is the daughter of irascible William Demarest. So much for the reliability of gene pools). With a pre-fat Presley, an indescribably gorgeous Ann-Margret, and no fewer than 12 songs on the soundtrack, how could Viva Las Vegas help but reap a fortune at the box office? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    I have not watched an Elvis movie from beginning to end in many years. When I saw that this was a Blu-ray release I thought I would give it a try. I was impressed. Every scene was sharp and colorful. It was great to see the old Las Vegas and a young Ann Margaret. She was in about as many scenes as the King. Bright city light gonna set my soul Gonna set my soul on fire. Silly plot as always but it was fun.

    Definitely one of the better Elvis efforts! He and Ann-Margret have real chemistry and they're obviously having fun. She not only keeps pace w/the King but makes him bring his A game... and man does she look great! Excellent music also - there's a run of 4 or 5 numbers in a row that's right up there with the best Hollywood froth, pure heaven!
