Viva - in this case it means 'long live' Las Vegas.

Viva is Spanish for "Live"

I always thought viva was an Italian word.

It probably is (though the conjugation might be different). Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese are so similar that if you know one, you can communicate with someone who speaks one of the other two.
