Clark Griswold receives a generous bonus from his boss, Frank Shirley. This reward motivates him to plan an extravagant family vacation to Las Vegas, aiming to strengthen family bonds.

The Griswold family reacts with mixed emotions to Clark's vacation plans. While Ellen and Audrey feel less enthusiastic about Las Vegas, Rusty's excitement stands out as he eagerly anticipates the vibrant city.

The Griswold family arrives in Las Vegas, surrounded by the city's bright lights and electric energy. Their adventure begins with the promise of unforgettable experiences and memories.

The family attends a dazzling performance by the famous duo, Siegfried & Roy. This spectacle captivates them, showcasing the unique entertainment Las Vegas has to offer.

During their stay, they reconnect with Cousin Eddie and his family. Eddie's peculiar lifestyle, living in a place once used for hydrogen-bomb tests, adds an odd yet humorous touch to their trip.

While on a guided tour of the iconic Hoover Dam, Clark inadvertently causes a minor leak. This mishap leads to a comedic adventure as he tries to reunite with his family while climbing the dam's scaffolding.

The family receives surprise tickets to a Wayne Newton concert, along with a beautiful dress for Ellen. Excited, they attend, where Wayne's amusing interaction with Ellen reveals a special connection.

The family decides to spend a day apart, exploring their individual interests. Clark dives into gambling, while Rusty uses a fake ID to enjoy the scene, and Audrey explores the nightlife with Eddie's daughter.

As Clark becomes more immersed in gambling, his family grows frustrated with his behavior. Their hopes begin to dwindle as Rusty stumbles upon a fortunate win at the slots, only adding to the chaos.

Amidst Clark's gambling troubles, he and Eddie devise a plan to win back their losses. However, their attempts are hindered by Clark's addiction, resulting in misery for both families.

Realizing the importance of family over fortune, Clark orchestrates a reunion with his family. They come together for one last gamble, pooling their funds for a game of keno.

During their final game, an elderly man provides unexpected encouragement. After he wins, he abruptly slips into unconsciousness, leaving behind an enigmatic message for Clark.

After the old man's passing, the Griswolds learn that they hold the winning keno ticket. Despite the tragedy, their fortunes shift, bringing relief and gratitude amid their distress.

In a heartwarming moment, Clark and Ellen reaffirm their wedding vows. This ceremony serves to remind them of their commitment, surrounded by Eddie's family in a joyous celebration.

As they prepare to return home, the Griswolds leave Las Vegas in an extravagant fashion. Rusty's luck leads to them driving away in a collection of four luxurious cars, symbolizing their wild adventure.
