San Francisco ChronicleEdward Guthmann
By far Elvis' best post-Army flick, and you can thank Ann-Margret for that distinction. [03 Aug 1997, p.34]

Presley's one really good musical, mainly because it features a female costar, Ann-Margret, who can match the coiffed one in the charisma stakes. Read full review

Chicago TribuneDonald Liebenson
The story is dumb --Elvis is a race-car driver bellhopping and entering talent contests in Vegas to raise money for his car -- but the songs are hot. And you can't beat that chemistry with the Queen of '60s shimmy, Ann-Margret. [14 Aug 1997, p.7]

The New York TimesHoward Thompson
Viva Las Vegas is about as pleasant and unimportant as a banana split. And as fetching to look at, it might be added. Read full review
