Adam Westing: Wayne Newton, who in this movie uses his ladykiller singer persona to disguise being a Handsome Lech, and has no qualms about trying to steal away Ellen from Clark. | |

Hollywood Law | |
| Vegas Vacation / int_3322dd48 | comment |
Hollywood Law: The under-21 Rusty obtains a fake I.D. so he can gamble. It might slip past the guards and pit bosses if he was interested in playing nickel slots, but then he starts winning cars, and then he has the cars sent to a random outskirt motel. Ironically, Ethan Embry wasn't of legal age either, but Marisol Nichols (Audrey) was. | |

Lonely Together: The Griswolds, on the brink of being broke, befriend an elderly man named Mr. Ellis in the Keno area, who is friendly but alone, and Clark says that for the duration, he can be part of their family. This leads to the man giving his winning ticket to Clark with his dying breath, with the personnel on the scene noting Ellis was a frequent guest in the hopes someone would just say "hello" to him. | |

Continuity Nod: In each of the movies, Clark is flirting or distracted by another woman. In Vacation, it was the girl in the Ferrari. In European Vacation, it was the dancing girls at the French Burlesque show. In Christmas Vacation, it was the sales girl. In this movie, it's Lady Luck herself (and, briefly, the girl in the Ferrari again). | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Vegas Vacation / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Unlike the previous and subsequent Vacation films, Vegas is notable for being the only installment to be rated a family-friendly PG. It still has its share of crass humor and language, but nothing on the level of the famous f-strikes in the original film and Christmas Vacation. | |

Darkest Hour: Clark winds up gambling away all the family's bank account, leaving them with nothing but the couple of dollars Ellen has on her. In desperation, they put it all on a Keno lottery ticket and predictably lose, leaving them completely broke and away from home. However, the elderly man they've befriended next to them has the winning numbers, and gives them the ticket as a Last Request in the middle of a fatal heart attack. | |

Brick Joke: During the tour of Hoover Dam, Clark plugs his chewing gum into some of the holes spouting water in the rock walls. A few scenes later at their hotel room, a newscast can be briefly heard on the TV talking of a flood at the dam. Rusty's prize cars. After he wins a couple in the second act, they're not seen again until the movie is about to wrap, when Rusty interrupts Clark's ending aesop about family to point out he has a few more belongings than he arrived with. The family ends up driving each one home. | |
