Season 5, Episode 18
10/10
The Best Travel Episode of "Modern Family"
29 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The adults of the family travel to a luxurious Las Vegas hotel. Phil tries to impress and join a secret, magical community; Claire attempts to win back money in the casino; Jay tries to gain access to the upper floors; Gloria wants to prevent Jay from seeing and buying a female dog butler; Mitchell meets an engaged ex-boyfriend (Langham); Cameron sneaks behind Mitchell's back and attends Langham's engagement parties.

The best "Modern Family" episodes are mostly those that connect the family members together. "Las Vegas" manages to connect the members by having them share doors to each of their rooms, which later results in hilarious trouble.

The episode starts off decent, introducing the story of the episode satisfyingly. Said episode is a good example of a story that evolves very quickly, as each of the family members' problems are mashed together during the episode's final minutes. While Phil is given a second chance to present his magical abilities, the dog butler interrupts his performance and drags Gloria into the trick; Mitchell unintentionally gives Langham access to the bath in his room, when wanting to surprise Cameron with the bath; Jay receives access to the upper floor, in spite of being interrupted by his family and their strange behaviors.

Every performance in this episode is fabulous. The episode concludes in a satisfying way, however openly, as Jay finds out that he has a room in the second upper floor instead of the one that he requested.
