A "Viva Las Vegas" dance sequence. It was filmed at the gym on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) campus. From left to right, the individuals pictured here include Ann-Margret and Elvis Presley, the stars of the film. Photograph was likely taken circa July 1963, as most of the filming on the UNLV campus occurred at that time.
The "Las Vegas: Snapshots of History" Photograph Collection is comprised of photographic prints and slides as well as digital surrogates of photographic prints and ephemera representing architecture and events in Las Vegas, Nevada from approximately 1960 to 2017. Materials were donated by members of the Las Vegas community as part of a community scanning day sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities' Common Heritage grant. The majority of the collection documents landmarks in Las Vegas including the Stardust Resort and Casino, The Mint Las Vegas, Fremont Street, and the Desert Inn.
