Nobody plans a vacation better than Clark Griswold (CHEVY CHASE). Loyal husband, devoted dad and full-fledged family man, Clark puts such enthusiasm into Griswold holiday outings that only the most unexpected circumstances can keep him from achieving the ultimate family excursion. Clark has selected the Promised Land where the Griswolds can enjoy their own special brand of kinship and reach certain vacation nirvana: the family-entertainment capital of America - Las Vegas, Nevada. But Clark didn't count on one thing. Despite Vegas' new image as a city with wholesome activities for the whole family to enjoy, its tempting underbelly still lures the unsuspecting with its glitzy, glamorous enchantments. And each wide-eyed member of the Griswold gang becomes seduced by the easy enticements of Sin City: Even Clark himself proves susceptible to the come-hither siren call of the Glitter Gulch. Taunted, teased and trumped time and again by a merciless card dealer (WALLACE SHAWN), he falls deeper and deeper into debt. Can the Griswolds come back together once they've tasted the high life in 'Lost Wages?' Before their Vegas voyage is over, they'll see and do it all: wonder at the illusion of a SIEGFRIED & ROY stage extravaganza, scale the dizzying heights of the Hoover Dam, thrill at the bulbs and buzz on the Strip and indulge in the decadent pleasures of the big-ticket suites.
