	Movies - Vegas Vacation

Vegas Vacation is part of the Vacation film series centering around the Griswold family. It is the first film not to use "National Lampoon's" in the title. Chevy Chase again reprises his role as Clark Griswold, the patriarch of the family.

Griswold, following a big promotion, announces to his family that he is taking them on vacation. Their enthusiasm wanes, however, when they hear they are headed to Las Vegas. His wife Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo) and teenage children Rusty (Ethan Embry) and Audrey (Marisol Nichols) have their doubts, as Las Vegas is not known for its family friendly atmosphere.

Upon arriving in Vegas, the family embarks upon a series of mishaps and adventures which bring them in contact with many famous people, as well as returning cousin Catherine (Miriam Flynn) and her eccentric husband Eddie (Randy Quaid).
