Las Vegas Lady (1975)
In Las Vegas, Lucky and two of her girlfriends, Carol and Lisa, plan to steal half a million dollars from the sadistic manager of the Circus Circus Casino. A shadowy man is their contact and organizer. Each of the women could be a weak link in a scheme that has to be flawless: Lucky's boyfriend is a security officer at the casino, Lisa is a trapeze artist who's now plagued with vertigo, and Carol is in debt to a nasty thug - plus, as a Black woman, she's subject to additional harassment. Can the gals pull off the heist, or is the plan, with it's mysterious organizer, too complicated to succeed?

So much average
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
A man called Hoover requests Lucky (Stella Stevens) and her girls work a party and steal money from the manager he keeps in a drawer. The floor plan looks like refrigerator art. That is pretty much the film except for a slight twist. Stella Stevens boast some major cleavage. It is an okay film that is available on multi-packs, not that great to buy as a single, unless you are some major league collector.
....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.
Well, i could nt get into the plot, but thats just me maybe. Listless camera-movements at times, nevertheless this movie has got a charming vintage quality.The acting is genuine at times and entertaining with the occasional chase sequence involving scantily clad ladies, which was nice. The climax is confused and disjointed, but still ...err riveting, thanx to Stella Stevens.The stunts are interesting, specially because of the 70's las vegas backdrop. There are a few jerky hand-held camera-movements at the end, which keep me guessing, for a while. But i don't think I ll b chasing the DVD, just yet.
