The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Viva Las Vegas is a film musical for all ages. Elvis presently, who is the star of the film, plays lucky, a speed racer who dreams of winning the grand prix, but he must pay his hotel bill, in order to get the engine. but lost the money when he fell in pool, which rusty,(played by Ann Margaret) his love interest, pushed him into the water. Lucky must work for the hotel to get back his money and win the race, while wooing his lover.This movie is fun to watch. elvis surpisngly is a good actor. usually famous singers are terrible actors, but he knows his dialogue well. Ann Margaret is really good, and her singing makes the musical fun. the only part i don't get is the ending, its too rushed. Overall, viva las vegas is a great film for anybody. 8/10

Released in 1964, "Viva Las Vegas" stars Elvis Presley as a race car driver, Lucky, who wants to compete in the Las Vegas Gran Prix, but he needs an engine for his vehicle. Ann-Margret plays a dancer/singer and Lucky's romantic interest while Cesare Danova plays his competition. William Demarest is on hand as the girl's father while Nicky Blair plays Lucky's buddy. I prefer the more serious and dramatic Presley flicks (e.g. 1964's "Roustabout") as opposed to the farces (e.g. 1966's "Spinout"). While "Viva Las Vegas" veers closer to the latter, it compensates with Margret's charismatic performance and her chemistry with Elvis, which paved the way for a dynamic and fun musical (not to mention an affair). Ann truly shines and never looked better. In addition, the race in the last act is actually thrilling with some quality stunts. The film runs 85 minutes and was shot in the Las Vegas area.GRADE: B+

It's hard to quibble with something that has so much goodwill, so let's just say that Elvis Presley and Ann-Margaret have obvious chemistry (and had it been in the hands of someone other than George Sidney, it could have exploded off the screen), and the set decoration by Harry Grace and George R. Nelson coupled with Joseph F. Biroc's lighting highlight the stars' classic features. Everyone else--from Cesare Danova to William Demarest--is wasted and the songs (the title tune notwithstanding) are hardly memorable. As a travelogue, there's not much old Vegas to look at. If you pine for the days when movies looked far too similar to sitcoms, check it out. Other than that, for fans only.

This is a typical formulated Elvis musical, there is nothing special about it that makes it stand out from the rest of the trash. Ridiculous plot & flimsy story & one stupid situation after another. And enough songs to fill an album & some of the songs are better than the movie itself & that's not a good sign. The best part of the movie is the racing scene at the end with several car crashes but that's expected in a car race. But it comes too late, in the meantime there's too many distracting & intrusively silly & annoying scenes that weighs the film down & gets in the way of the plot & story (if there ever was one).Aside from a few decent movies Elvis made when he was given solid material to work with like Jailhouse Rock, King Creole, Flaming Star, Wild In The Country & Charro most of his movies were garbage. They are tediously boring & are embarrassing & hard to sit through & a waste of time & a disgrace to Elvis' career. Only Elvis fans will enjoy this poop simply because Elvis is in it.
