Summary
Documentary on life in Las Vegas as seen by women in various occupations. Each woman is first seen on the job, describing what her work entails. Ensuing segments of the film take the women to other settings, where they talk about a broad spectrum of activities and concerns: gambling, housing, making a living, family life, personal relationships, leisure-time activities, and aspirations for the future. Among the interviewees are Susan McNamara, who is shown rehearsing and performing a prize-winning ballet duet as well as performing as a showgirl, and Kelly Jones, who describes her experiences as an exotic dancer. The documentary includes images of Las Vegas as tourist mecca, with the stereotypical Las Vegas woman represented by Marlena Maynard as a showgirl.
