Viva Las Vegas is een in 1964 door Doc Pomus en Mort Shuman geschreven liedje. Elvis Presley nam het in datzelfde jaar op voor zijn film Viva Las Vegas.

Het nummer

Viva Las Vegas kwam uit als single met het nummer "What'd I Say" als B-kant. Het bereikte de 29e plaats in de Billboard Hot 100. In het Verenigd Koninkrijk bereikte het nummer een 17e plaats in de hitlijsten.

Trivia

  • In 2002 vroeg de stad Las Vegas om het nummer als "officieel stadnummer" te gebruiken. Onderhandelingen met Elvis Presley Enterprises liepen spaak omdat er geen consensus over de prijs ontstond. De rechten op het nummer zijn echter sinds 1993 niet meer in handen van EPE, maar van Pomus en Shuman.
  • Het gerucht gaat dat Pomus ten tijde van het schrijven van de tekst nog niet in Las Vegas was geweest; pas dertig jaar later bezocht Pomus gebieden ten westen van Newark (New Jersey).
  • Elvis heeft het nummer tijdens zijn vele live optredens in Las Vegas nooit gezongen.
