Driver Lucky Jackson (Elvis Presley) goes to Las Vegas to race in the first annual Grand Prix Race. His car needs a new engine and he doesn't have the money. While at the garage, Rusty Martin (Ann-Margret) brings in her car for service. Lucky tries to trick her into staying, but she leaves. After a tour of all the casinos, he spots her teaching kids to swim at the hotel pool.
This movie is overloaded with sexiness and easy charms. It doesn't get sexier than Elvis and Ann-Margret. The audience can visit Vegas without leaving the theater. There are a couple of good songs starting with the iconic titular song. It's the perfect Elvis light musical. It's engineered to appeal to the masses. The story doesn't matter. It's just two of the hottest humans around frolicking all over Vegas. There are showgirls. There are set piece dances. There is that new fandango Rock n Roll. Finally, there is fun little car race to finish it. I love all the cool cars. Driving through the neon main drag looks amazing. This has all the crowd pleasing elements.
