This 4th adventure is not one too much as there is some fun moments but there is indubitably no new ideas since the first movie and that's a pity: Clark is blind, the kids are daredevils, Ellen is strong and the cousins gentle jerks… Going on the road again offers more surprises than staying at home but going to Vegas is boring as this is not a sight-seeing location. However the feel of this sin city is perfectly done as i stayed also in one of this big hotel and that i saw again all things i did (games inside the hotel, buffet meals, labyrinth corridors). The only exterior visit to Hoover Dam is also really funny as well as well as the mile- high club try! This new pair of kids is cool and we have also a Chevy at top of his form! In itself, the movie could be expandable but when you look for genuine comedy, you come to the conclusion that this Griswold family has something the others have not!

I lived in Las Vegas for 25 years. This movie hits all of the points of a Las Vegas. That's the strength and point of all four of the Vacation movies all that stuff really happens. Except for maybe winning a whole lot of money, but you know that.The really awful buffet in some of the sleazier hotels, the way some dealers can clean you out with every hand, the obligatory trip to Hoover Dam. Heck, one of my friend's girlfriends was actually hit on and picked up by Wayne Newton. Yes you can cook meat on a rock on a hot day and every day in the Summer is a hot day. Rattle snakes radioactivity its all part of Las Vegas fun. This movie hits all of the highlights. Think of it as a travel log with attitude. Loved it.Cast is perfect. Chevy is the unflappable fool tourist who flops around as a fish out of water. Randy Quaid is the kind of guy who is right at home in Las Vegas and proud that his daughter is an "entertainer" But the person who makes it all work is Beverly who takes all the abuse and slyly sticks in her comments.

this fourth installment in the vacation series is close to abysmal in my opinion.it's cheap gimmickry at it lowest.the first three in the series were all very good,pretty much at the same level of quality of jokes and story.this one was neither funny nor clever.the only good thing about the the whole travesty is Wallace Shawn who has a small role as a black jack dealer.his bit is quite funny.but that's it.otherwise it's sheer tedium.it's worth noting that the words "national lampoon" do not appear before the title,so maybe that says something right there.anyway,if i had known how bad this thing was,i would have booked myself self an appointment for a sinus scraping instead.it would have been more enjoyable.i'll give it 3/10 for Wallace Shawn

I used to really like Vegas Vacation. But I watched it again recently and, well, it wasn't that good. I still give it credit, but it's not that great. Vegas vacation is rated PG, and I can really see it. The film has it's funny moments but really doesn't come alive like the first and third film did. The film is corny, and there are many silly scenes. Ellen(Beverly D'Angelo) is irritating, and in this film she falls head over heels for Wayne Newton. If only I could find these high heels so then I could throw them at her. Vegas Vacation is sort of irritating. It's probably the weakest in the series. It's a silly, silly sequel.Vegas vacation:**/****
