Elvis is at the wheel. But Ann-Margret drives him wild!

In one of his most popular movies, Elvis Presley teams up with Ann-Margret in the entertainment capital, Las Vegas. He’s a Grand Prix driver, she’s a hotel swimming instructor and radiators are on overboil from their first meeting. Veteran director George Sidney combines the hormonal heat wave with fascinating sights of ’60s Las Vegas. Songs include the high-roller title track, duetting on The Lady Loves Me, her sultry Appreciation and the King’s What’d I Say.

Destination Greater Victoria is honoured to be based on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples of the Songhees Nation and Xwsepsum Nation, whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
