something is being treated as a noun in this case...
there is "something" about her that could make it possible to make it in Vegas besides her good legs, so she has that "something" or "the" something that would help her make it in Vegas
"The" is a definite article meaning there is something specific about addition to the "something" that she's got.

I think it is a typo and the person meant to say they had good enough legs for Vegas and then some in addition.

Amazing how people translate language, but yet do not edit prior to submitting. I have no clue what the subject on had was so I cannot guess.
But when I first read this excerpt sounds to me Yes I had good enough legs, meaning able to walk the distance. And that is something too my friend. Meaning to me that it is also a big accomplishment.
Oh I don't know but I am usually good about reading between the lines and this one got me.

Tbh that sentence doesn't make any sense to me at all, its either a big typo or the person who wrote it doesn't have english as his first language.
