The scientist must then try to control his creation amidst the neon lights and gambling halls.

Critical Reception

Las Vegas Frankenstein received a mixed to negative reception from critics and audiences, often being described as a low-budget, campy B-movie.

Google audience: Audience reviews are scarce and largely indicate a divisive reception, with some finding the film hilariously bad and others simply bad.
