Sure, Ginger Rogers was great and Debbie Reynolds could keep up with anyone, but Cyd Charisse could do it all. From ballet to burlesque and was sexy doing it. Fun musical with some great cameos.

Meet Me in Las Vegas is an awesome movie. It is about a gambling rancher and a ballerina who discover that some people have luck at cards while others have luck at love in 1950s Las Vegas. Dan Dailey and Cyd Charisse give fantastic performances. The screenplay is good but a little slow in places. Roy Rowland did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the humor and romance. Meet Me in Las Vegas is a must see.

Overlong MGM musical starts out brightly then segues into talky sequences and uninspired musical numbers; many cameos and guest appearances, the best of which are Lena Horne's "If You Can Dream" and Frankie Laine's "Hell Hath No Fury."

Dan Dailey and Cyd Charisse play a rancher and a ballerina who have a comic romance in this rather dull musical comedy. Cyd Charisse's dance numbers are really the only reason to watch this film. That or the many cameos in the film, including Frank Sinatra, Debbie Reynolds, and Peter Lorre,

"Meet Me in Las Vegas" is one of those neglected musicals that was produced in the 1950s after the heyday of the Hollywood musical. It's modest plot is saved from cliché by the personality of Dan Dailey and some tongue-in-cheek writing. The music is nothing special, but is engaging. The film was a showcase for Cyd Charisse's balletic talents, whch, good as they are, actually add little to the movie except to provide a motive for her to initially reject personal relationships in favor of her career. But overall, the film is enjoyable in its easy-going friendliness and its genuine location shooting. One would never know that the McCarthy era was in full swing in America and that some of Hollywood's most talented people had to work under pseudonyms, if at all.

Synopsis

Well-heeled ranching tycoon Chuck Rodwell (Dan Dailey) is on his annual pilgrimage to Las Vegas and hopes to win big at the casinos. On his visit to the Sands Hotel, Chuck encounters a haughty ballerina, Maria Corvier (Cyd Charisse), whose mere presence appears to have reversed his run of bad luck. Believing the dancer is his good-luck charm, Chuck asks Maria to accompany him for the remainder of his trip. Sparks develop, but not before a series of comic misunderstandings.
