Vegas Vacation Page #2

Synopsis: When Clark Griswold puts his mind to something, we soon realize he hasn't got one. Still, nothing stops him when the vacation bug hits. This time, he's chosen Las Vegas, the new family entertainment capital of America! Chevy Chase returns as bubbly, bumbling Clark in Vegas Vacation, a jokers-are-wild laugh fest including two other stars from past Vacations. Beverly D'Angelo is back as wife Ellen, doting on the guy she calls "Sparky," and Randy Quaid again delights as grubby goof ball Cousin Eddie. Ethan Embry (That Thing You Do!) and screen-debuting Marisol Nichols are Griswold teens who love the round-the-clock nightlife - as long as they don't share it with Mom and Dad! From Seigfried and Roy's extravaganza to a Hoover Dam tour, from cruising to losing (Wallace Shawn as a shifty blackjack dealer) to amorous crooning (Wayne Newton falls for Ellen): watch Clark try to keep family and wallet together!

Let's let them get in trouble.

- I'm asking for $5!

- What'll you do if you win?

You're boring to travel with.

Fine, you want $5?

Here, you're a big man. Here's $5.

Get a wallet.

- Hi.

- Good evening.

Would the two of you have any ID?

We left our IDs upstairs, actually.

We're on our honeymoon.

Wait here for two minutes.

I'll go upstairs and get the ID.

I'll be right back.

My friend...

$200 in chips.

Good evening. Changing $200!

In blackjack, a smart player has

a mathematical advantage over the house.

Are you a professional?

Me? No, not really.

Are you?

Place your bet, sir.

Yes, the bet.

What the hell.

- Hit me.

- It's a bust!

Las Vegas Fun Police.

Hand over your chips.

- Eddie?

- Twenty-two.

Player busts.

Oh, man, it is a blazer out there.

You're lucky you got air conditioning

in here like mother nature intended.

Clark Griswold, did you think

you could come to Las Vegas...

and not see your favorite cousin?

Your bet.

There.

Why're you in Las Vegas?

Where else can you wear shorts

I am on fire!

What?

Shuffling!

Here's the best part.

Thanks to that defective plate

in my head...

the V.A. Gave me a huge plot of land

just north of town.

Every time I belch,

the plate shifts and my legs give out.

But what a view!

Nineteen.

Twenty!

Oh, he's good!

He's good!

- Another $100 in chips, please.

- Changing $100!

That's it, Clark.

Show them who's boss.

It's people who blow the family

nest egg here that built this town.

Not this pretty boy.

Oh, gee!

I can't believe it.

I've lost $300 in 15 minutes?

I'm okay. I'm okay.

You're kind.

What a great audience.

Yeah, all right.

Terrific!

Where do you come from?

Me? Chicago, Illinois.

- Fantastic.

- Chicago!

Why don't you come on stage?

Come on, it'll be fun.

- Go on!

- Yeah, Dad, do it!

Okay, I'll play along.

Applaud!

Good to have you.

What's your name?

Clark Griswold.

Marvelous!

Let's do some real magic.

Listen, I know the routine.

What's it going to be tonight?

Wires? Mirrors? Trap doors?

I happen to know a little magic myself.

I don't know if you've seen this.

Can you tell it's my thumb?

Looks like it is, but it's not.

Whatever, I'll do what you want.

I'm here to help.

Enter.

Okay, I know this one.

- Trust me.

- All right, I will.

Is this going up? I'll go with it.

Me.

Where's Dad?

I haven't got a clue.

How'd you do at the tables?

I'm about even.

Why'd you say we were here?

Oh, come on. How often do I get

to see my cousin Catherine?

Anyway, we're just stopping by for lunch.

I want to gamble.

Russell...

I never want to hear you say that again.

Gambling is a very serious business.

Is that clear?

Excuse me a minute.
