No, we aren't there yet. I am talking about the 1964 classic starting Elvis Presley and Ann Margaret. Viva Las Vegas
We decided to get a little pumped up ahead of time, and threw the DVD in the old player last night. The movie is a little cheezy, but you can't complain about all the great old shots of Vegas, especially the downtown area, man I wish the Mint and other long gone casinos were still downtown.
In fact, I believe that if the downtown area still looked the same as it did in 1964, rather than the "Disneyesque" look it has now, then it would be a lot more popular area for the tourists to visit.
One great aspect of the movie is the music, all except one or 2 "ballad" type songs are great! And you've got to love the roulette table designed dance floor!
