Vegas Vacation Deep Dive

How much did Rusty win at craps when he buys in for $5???? Looks like he might have turned $5 into $300-$400 when he is stuffing chips in his pocket. Then gets a penthouse suite??? No chance
Also, why did the pit boss ask him is he didn’t require corrective lenses that night? His ID didn’t show any information about his vision that I saw. Always thought that was weird.
This has to be peak Ellen Griswald territory…. I mean Christmas vacation she is also a dime.
Audrey does have legs like a racehorse
And I have been to many a casino and had dealers that just have my number. Why would Clark keep tempting fate with that guy???
Lastly, when rusty wins his first car and the guy asks where he wants it sent… he thinks and then seems to be about to provide an answer… then all 4 cars end up at that random location… why and how did he pick that spot

Always thought he won about 5 grand and brought a lot of action to the table.

His fake ID didn’t have corrective lenses listed. It was a trick question to try to trip him up, but Rusty was onto it.
That one is 100% valid.

Although the dealer you're talking about was played by Wallace Shawn (most known on here as either the Sicilian from Princess Bride, "Inconceivable" and/or Grand Nagus Zek from Star Trek: Deep Space 9), you triggered another memory:
Nick Mazzola was a long-time blackjack dealer at Caesar's Palace IRL and ended up with, essentially, cameos as a dealer in Rain Man, Casino (1995) and Vegas Vacation.
I couldn't find a real screenshot, but if you saw all three films, you probably recognized him.
This is a partial profile picture (upper right corner) from Rain Main - (Joe Pesci's character insults him for being ugly in Casino):

Under Restriction it would have had a code there. Like "B"

At the dam store, about 3 miles down dam road on the left.

I'm pretty sure Gilly from Philly hooked him up with the suite since he won him a lot of money that night.

Im more interested how he took those cars when they were all broke. Who paid the sales tax?

I remember loving that Viper and Mustang.

I always wondered how much Clark gave Eddie at the end for keeping him afloat with the last of his buried treasure... Eddie counts it forever but that could just be Eddie befuddled by a few hundred bucks.
Certainly wasn't $52,000 which Eddie described as "a little extra cash" when he asked Clark for money in Vacation. They should've given one of the cars to Cousin Vicky who hops rides with random dudes to her Pole dancing gigs (Griswolds don't need 4 cars when they have the Family Truckster waiting for their Honky lips at home).
Kinda felt Clark was cheap on them after his winnings like he was with the blue chicken and some of the yella.
Easily the least likeable version of Clark in all the movies.

I thought they abandoned the Family Truckster in LA at the end of Vacation and whatever they had in Christmas Vacation was a newer car.

The OG Queen Family Truckster was a modified 1979 Ford LTD Country Squire station wagon.
In Christmas Vacation, they were in a 1989 Ford Taurus wagon.

Figured something like that.
The shot of the family on a plane back to Chicago during the credits of Vacation certainly implied the Family Truckster got abandoned.
