It's pretty tough to beat Jailhouse Rock in terms of sheer entertainment, but Elvis lovers are particularly fond of this 1964 hit. The Big E plays race-car driver Lucky Jackson, who arrives in Las Vegas for an upcoming Grand Prix race. Lucky's car needs a new engine, so he gets a waiter job at a casino and starts working his crooning charms on Rusty Martin (Ann-Margret). It's their on-screen chemistry that makes this flick a lot of fun; Presley never had a better costar than Ann-Margret, and their race-car romance is quintessential 1960s fluff. Then there are the songs, of course, including the snappy title tune, a rockin' rendition of Ray Charles's "What'd I Say?," and "The Yellow Rose of Texas." Viva Las Vegas is one of the Elvis movies that stands the test of time, when the legend was still at his peak. And if you're wondering if the King gets his car fixed in time to win the race, well, check out the movie to find out. --Jeff Shannon

When one thinks of fast cars, fun women, and flashy lights - one would probably scream out Las Vegas (and I promise this will be the last joke "I call it Lost Wages"), but not our current Las Vegas, but the Las Vegas of fast cars, fun women, and flashy lights. "Viva Las Vegas", the Elvis cinematic vehicle that serves more as a time capsule of a Las Vegas that has been nearly forgotten, was a dance riddled, climactically lacking, song powered journey that may have your toes tapping in overdrive, ...

Elvis movies deserve to be considered a genre all of their own. Although not Hollywood masterpieces that was never the point. They were a fun way of showcasing the talents of Elvis, think of them as extended music videos.
"Via Las Vegas" is one of the best of the genre. Ann Margaret is stunningly beautiful and a great dancer. Unfortunately her singing isn't as good as her dancing, however watching the scene stealing Ann Margaret can never be thought of as a chore. One of the best dance ... Read More

Viva Las Vegas is definitely Elvis Presley's best movie. Ok so he wasn't a great and talented actor but his songs and sex appeal more than made up for it. Ann-Margret was one gorgeous gal, she steals every scene and that's almost impossible to do when the leading man is Elvis. They had natural chemistry, no wonder the couple dated off-set. Viva Las Vegas is pure fun, check it out sometimes!

A Fun Movie that would have been even better had George Sidney been allowed a little more artistic freedom. The Song 'Today,Tomorrow and Forever' was originally recorded as a duet and should have been filmed that way, with the associated love scene expanded and a little filler added before 'Cheek to Cheek.' The Wedding Scene should also have been expanded with a transition before the finale. Other songs, one a duet were recorded but not used in the film. Without these 'touches' the film is a little ...

Viva Las Vegas is one of the best Elvis movies. It is entertaining with singing and dancing by Elvis and Ann Margaret. Also there is a story to it! Elvis and Ann Margaret are terrific together in this film. Loved this film!!!
