- 100San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannSan Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannBy far Elvis' best post-Army flick, and you can thank Ann-Margret for that distinction. [03 Aug 1997, p.34]
- 75TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazinePresley's one really good musical, mainly because it features a female costar, Ann-Margret, who can match the coiffed one in the charisma stakes.
- 75Chicago TribuneChicago TribuneThe 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]
- 70Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumChicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumVulgar, spirited, and neglected director George Sidney meets his match with this 1964 Elvis Presley vehicle: Presley, Ann-Margret, and Las Vegas itself are all ready-made for his talents, which mainly have to do with verve and trashy kicks.
- 60EmpireEmma CochraneEmpireEmma CochraneElvis not only rocks the city of lights but also showed he could act.
- Viva Las Vegas is about as pleasant and unimportant as a banana split. And as fetching to look at, it might be added.
- 40Time OutTime OutThin even by Presley standards.
