Director Carlos Tobalina endeavors to make a private detective tale with 1983’s “Las Vegas Girls,” but he doesn’t seem to have enough story or even footage to complete it. But hey, that’s not going to stop the helmer, who tries to slap together a semi-coherent tale of a runaway in Sin City, and the two professionals hired to find her and bring her back to her guardians. There could be suspense, maybe drama or light comedy, but Tobalina ends up with a mess that doesn’t seem to have any idea what it wants to be. Even for adult cinema, “Las Vegas Girls” is fairly slapdash, wandering around from scene to scene without much in the way of focus. There are plenty of erotic detours, as to be expected, but it’s strange to watch Tobalina basically give up on the offering at the halfway mark after establishing a case with some potential in the screenplay.
