Audio/visual unsynchronised

In the "What'd I Say" music scene, an electric piano can be heard very clearly on the soundtrack - yet only an acoustic concert piano is seen on film.

During the Viva Las Vegas dance/music sequence, even though it is already blatantly apparent, Elvis is badly lip-synching the lyrics.

Continuity

When Rusty is dancing in a lavender bodysuit, she wears high heels until about 2/3 way through and then she is shown with lavender ballet slippers.

When "The Coasters" first begin performing the song "The Climb," the close-up view shows none of them wearing glasses. When the camera zooms out to show the entire dance floor, the baritone/bass vocalist is wearing glasses.

The continuity of the big race is completely jumbled. For example the #19 Jaguar XK 120 is the first car to crash, yet it is plainly visible a few moments later bumping other cars off course. Lucky manages to weave his way through the whole pack to catch the race leader's Ferrari 250 GT and then they swap leads a few times. The Count's Ferrari blows a tire and crashes, then suddenly Lucky is once again passing the cars he just passed to catch the Count and take the lead.

At the end of the race the counts car runs off the track and then back on wherein the cockpit gets pulverized by a yellow car. This would definitely have killed the driver, or at least put the "count' into a full body cast. Yet later he appears at Rusty and Lucky's wedding, very healthy.

About 15 seconds into Ann-Margret's dance routine at the University of Nevada, the red-haired male dancer third from the left, wearing grey pants, white shoes and black socks, suddenly becomes a different person with blond hair, white pants, grey shoes and white socks.

Errors in geography

During the auto race, the cars are supposed to be driving across the Hoover Dam from Nevada into Arizona. In reality, they are driving the wrong way across the dam, from Arizona into Nevada.

When Lucky and Rusty are taking off in a helicopter to view the Hoover Dam, the TWA terminal at New York City's JFK airport can clearly be seen in the background.

There are no Marinas near Hoover Dam. The helicopter would have flown for a few minutes before they would have seen one.

Factual errors

Before Elvis sings "The Eyes of Texas", he names several famous Texans; the last name he mentions is John Wayne. John Wayne was born in Iowa, and lived much of his life as an actor in California.
