One of the Best Vacations
4 November 2018
In the fourth vacation film, we see the Griswolds visiting Las Vegas. This is definitely a better installment than European Vacation, more laughter and more family friendly. The fact that Wayne Newton plays himself in a bit role designed to mock himself is hilarious. And of course Randy Quaid returns as Cousin Eddie in his best vacation role yet.

The sub story about Rusty getting a fake ID and then gambling is the best part of the whole film. The film did receive a PG rating, which was the lowest MPAA rated film in the series. Sid Caesar makes his final big screen performance as the old man at the Keno game. The film is full of a small roles filled by well known actors like Wallace Shawn and Julia Sweeney.

Not sure why National Lampoon didn't attach their name to the film, it's a great installment.
