The original story and screenplay is by Isobel Lennart, cinematography by Robert Bronner, music direction by George Stoll of Skip Martin's orchestrations, with choreography by Hermes Pan and Eugene Loring.

It was largely shot on location in Las Vegas and various popular celebrities made cameo appearances.

High roller rancher Chuck Rodwell arrives at the Sands Hotel for his annual visit to the gambling tables.

Meanwhile, Sands manager Tom Culdane is having trouble with the headliner of his show, ballerina Maria Corvier, who is so insulted that people will be dining during her performance that she threatens to quit.

On the way to dinner, Chuck puts a coin in a slot machine for a random stranger; Frank Sinatra wins.

Finally, one desperate casino manager pressures Kelly Donovan, Chuck's old singer girlfriend, to get him to take a break.

With the magic suddenly gone, they reconsider, seeing as they are two very different people with little in common, and decide to break up, much to the distress of her friend and mentor Sari Hatvany and the concealed delight of her agent Pierre.

Cameos include Frank Sinatra, Debbie Reynolds, Vic Damone, Pier Angeli, Peter Lorre, and Tony Martin (who was married to Charisse).
