DVD Synopsis

This is the fourth in a series of movies that began with National Lampoon's Vacation in 1983 and feature the family headed by Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) going on wacky vacations. This time, the Griswolds visit Las Vegas. Clark immediately goes to the blackjack table and starts blowing all his money, continually encouraged to spend more and more by a taunting dealer, Marty (Wallace Shawn). Ellen Griswold (Beverly D'Angelo) becomes smitten with the lounge singer Wayne Newton (playing himself), who invites her to sing onstage with him. Their son Rusty (Ethan Embry) is incredibly lucky playing dice, and he is virtually adopted by a family of gangsters who see him as their meal ticket. Daughter Audrey (Marisol Nichols) gets hooked up with her wild cousin Vickie (Shae D'Lyn), who takes her to sleazy dance clubs. White-trash cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid), who lives on a former A-bomb test site in the nearby desert, also gets involved with the capers. ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

Clark Griswold and his family take on Sin City in this comedy, which gets a fine presentation for its release on DVD. Vegas Vacation has been given a letterboxed transfer at the aspect ratio of 1.85:1, which has also been enhanced for widescreen playback on 16 x 9 monitors. The audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital 5.1, and in addition to the original English-language soundtrack, an alternate track in French is available, as well as optional subtitles in English, Spanish, and French. As a bonus, the disc also includes production notes and the film's original theatrical trailer. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
