Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

You would have to say that this Crown International Pictures feature sounds like it would have to be a winner. After all, a 70's era Las Vegas heist movie revolving around a foxy lady sounds like it cannot truly fail. In truth, Las Vegas Lady doesn't really live up to its potential and under-plays its hand a little too much. Its story focuses on three women who carry out a robbery of the Circus Circus casino in Vegas after taking instructions from a shadowy mystery figure. Their objective is to steal $500,000.Heist movies are generally quite a bit of fun but this one is sadly a somewhat uninvolving crime caper where the heist itself is achieved with very little tension and what seems to be the minimum of effort. The trio of women include a trapeze artist and showgirl; the former is utilised to climb the vertigo inducing outer building in order to help execute the mission. While the villain of the piece is a casino boss who is a nasty bit of work with a penchant for roughing up women. So there are pretty decent characters in this one but they exist in a story which could certainly have been presented with a little more effort. Given the good set-up this could have been good movie if it had put more emphasis on generating tension and with better plot development. Still, I didn't mind it too much due to its 70's time capsule elements. 70's Las Vegas sure looks great in any case and it's really the time and place captured on screen that ensures this one is worth a look.

In a wild west park, Lucky (Stella Stevens) meets a mysterious man where she's given a plan to steal $500k in Las Vegas. Lucky and two friends showgirl Carol and trapeze artist Lisa try to rob the sadistic manager of Circus Circus Casino Eversull who is also secretly an illegal gun dealer. Lucky's boyfriend Victor is 5 months from retiring as a security officer at the casino. Carol is in debt to the thug A.C. who suspects she's making a run for it. Lisa is suffering from bouts of vertigo.Stella Stevens is not necessarily a bad actress but the other two are pretty close. The heist isn't that impressive and it takes way too long to get there. The production is poor although somebody hanging outside of the casino is fun. The movie oscillates between functional to badly made.

....Stella Stevens! Holy crap, what a body! And if her deeeeep cleavage is not enough for you, there is some peek-a-boo nudity from her in a jacuzzi. Meanwhile, the ladies get shirtless Stuart Whitman. The first half of "Las Vegas Lady" is glitzy but dull; the second half, when the heist plan is actually put into motion, is somewhat better, but be warned: this film is not exactly the lighthearted romp it appears to be, and one of the women in particular (I hope it's a coincidence that it's the black one) is mistreated harshly. George DiCenzo, as the casino boss, is so dripping with sleaze that you get the feeling the floor around him is slippery. ** out of 4.

There's really not a lot to say about Las Vegas Lady. It's harmless enough, but it is little more than a dull heist film from the 70s. The movie is neither as clever nor as sexy as it strives to be. The plot is a retread of the tired old casino robbery storyline that's been done to death. Except in the case of Las Vegas Lady, I think the robbery plot was designed by a 3 year-old. The plan involves three women one to unnecessarily and in plain view scale the outside of the Circus Cicus building, one to pose as a waitress only to blow her cover at the first opportunity, and one to stand around exposing her cleavage. That's pretty much it. Intricate, huh? Other than Stella Stevens and her aforementioned breasts, the other women involved in the plot aren't particularly memorable. Las Vegas Lady co-stars Stuart Whitman. When not pawing Stevens, his involvement in the movie is highlighted by one of the most idiotic gun fights ever put on film.I really wanted to like this movie. It does have that 70s feel to it that I always enjoy and some nice shots of Las Vegas circa 1975. But the movie itself is too dull to rate any higher than a 4/10 and that's probably overstating it. In the end, Las Vegas Lady is a waste of some perfectly good cleavage.
