    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Clark tells Rusty and Audrey that he hardly recognizes them anymore. It's a reference to the fact that different actors have played the Griswold in each of the "Vacation" movies.
    • Goofs
      When Clark is missing during the Siegfried and Roy show, Rusty and Ellen have a brief exchange where neither one's lips move.
    • Quotes

      Hoover Dam Guide: Welcome everyone. I am your dam guide, Arnie. Now I'm about to take you through a fully funtional power plant, so please, no one wander off the dam tour and please take all the dam pictures you want. Now are there any dam questions?

      Cousin Eddie: Yeah, where can I get some damn bait?

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits list Sid Caesar's character as the generic title of "old man", even though the character is given a proper name, Mr. Ellis, in the film.

    Have to admit after 20th viewing that it is good
    I saw this movie when it was first released in the theatres, and thought it was one of the worst films ever made. Since then, whenever this movie comes on TV, I cannot turn it off. What was once like watching a car wreck has become an enjoyable viewing experience that is a very funny experience. Still can't figure out how the daughter grew up Latina but Marisol Nichols is so cute, who cares? Sinatra imitator very funny, as is the seemingly five minutes of silence they hold on the Quaid/Newton bit. Also funny, the server in the buffet "oh you're right, this is chicken WANT SOME!" and Chevy Chase butt-ugly costume.
