EDITOR’S NOTE: Las Vegas Weekend was on USA Up All Night on April 1 and September 18, 1989 and February 17 and September 7, 1990.

Dale Trevillion wrote They Call Me Bruce and directed a whole bunch of erotic thrillers with titles like Heart of Stone, Timeless Obsession and Play Time. He was once married to Sharon Farrell and looks a lot like Michael “PS” Hayes.

This is all about Percy Doolittle (Barry Hickey), a nerd who comes to Vegas with a card-counting system. Then, as the tagline says, “When the dice are hot and the women sizzle you’re in for a wild … Las Vegas Weekend.” Anyways, Ray Dennis Steckler kicks Percy out of college and he heads out for adventure and acting like Eddie Deezen. I mean, they should have just hired Eddie Deezen.

Do you think when Joseph Campbell put together his thoughts on the Hero’s Journey that he knew that I’d be applying it to this movie? Because all the money changes Percy and he loses the kind of sort of crush that he had and all his money and then has to get it back together in the last act.

Man. even the poster for this movie makes me angry. I struggled through this one, I have to be honest. Just look at that poster and how smug that guy is.

You can watch this on Tubi.
