Elvis ended his two-week run unable to capture success in Vegas, but that didn't end his relationship with the city. While he wouldn't return to a Las Vegas stage for 13 years, in 1963 he spent several weeks in town to film the hit movie Viva Las Vegas, which co-starred Ann-Margret.
Review: Viva Las Vegas FTD CD. 1964 was a very busy year for Elvis Presley. Three movies, two soundtracks, one EP, assorted singles, his pursuit of Priscilla, and a public affair left very little time for anything else. Viva Las Vegas was one of Elvis' best movies that did not have a complete soundtrack release at the time.
