Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information

    Vegas Vacation .

    Who plays the role of Cousin Eddie in this movie and in two previous 'Vacation' movies?'Vegas Vacation' Part 2 (mrbondskin)

      Randy Quaid. He is the older brother of the equally talented actor, Dennis Quaid.

    Who played that gambler that Rusty met at the Craps table (Hint: he was actually the Producer on the film)?'Vegas Vacation' Part 1 (mrbondskin)

      Jerry Weintraub. Jerry Weintraub produced the movie and because he was good friends with Steve Wynn (who at the time owned The Mirage), the director was allowed filming access all over the casino and hotel.

    Who is the producer of the movie 'Vegas Vacation', who also produced the remake of 2001's 'Ocean's Eleven'?'Vegas Vacation' Part 2 (mrbondskin)

      Jerry Weintraub. Weintraub is also given a small role in the movie; he plays 'Gilley from Philly'.

    While pretending to be Nick, Rusty runs into a high stakes gambler at the Craps table. How does the gambler introduce himself?'Vegas Vacation' Part 1 (mrbondskin)

      'Gilley from Philly'. And then Rusty introduces nervously himself as 'Nick from Yuma.'

    Which of the Griswolds accidentally shuts the limo sunroof while Audrey is standing up through it?"Vegas Vacation" Part 3 (mrbondskin)

      Clark. As you might predict, the clumsy Clark is responsible for closing the roof in on her stomach. Ellen looks at the long red mark and says "don't worry, it won't leave a permanent line."

    Which actor or actress receives 3rd billing in the opening credits?"Vegas Vacation" Part 3 (mrbondskin)

      Randy Quaid. Randy Quaid recreates his Cousin Eddie role for the third time in the series, and he arguably steals the spotlight from all of the other players in this movie. Probably because Cousin Eddie has a plate in his head.

    When Wayne Newton makes pasta for dinner, he tells Ellen that he got the recipe from whom?'Vegas Vacation' Part 1 (mrbondskin)

      Dean Martin. 'It's Dean Martin's recipe---I always make too much.'

    When Wayne Newton hosts Ellen Griswold for lunch (during the Griswold 'alone day') what gift does he bestow upon her?'Vegas Vacation' Part 1 (mrbondskin)

      a lock of his hair. As soon as she gets a look at this 'gift', she makes her excuses and almost runs out of the place.

    When Wayne Newton first spots Ellen Griswold across a crowded casino floor, he can't help but stare. As he gawks and smirks at Mrs. Griswold, what color suit is Mr. Las Vegas wearing? "Vegas Vacation" Part 3 (mrbondskin)

      Black. Black, all black, except for a hint of grey around his cuffs and on his handkerchief.

    When the Griswold's went broke, they ran into a old man at the Keno stand. Who played that character?'Vegas Vacation' Movie 2 (chryterisnocone)

      Sid Caesar. Sid Caesar's character dies a few times, and tells Clark, 'Take the ticket!'

    When the Griswold's flew to Vegas for their next vacation, what happened on the airplane?'Vegas Vacation' Movie (chryterisnocone)

      Restroom accident. Clark wanted Ellen to have a special moment in the small bathroom. It didn't quite work out.

    When the family was visiting The Hoover Dam, what family member got lost and almost fell in?'Vegas Vacation' Movie (chryterisnocone)

    When Rusty Griswold gets his new and improved fake ID, where does the driver's license say he is from?'Vegas Vacation' Part 1 (mrbondskin)

    When Russ rhetorically and cheerfully asks if there is "legalized prostitution" in Las Vegas, what is his father's response?"Vegas Vacation" Part 3 (mrbondskin)

    When Clark sits down to his first table game, he buys into it by asking for how much in chips?"Vegas Vacation" Part 3 (mrbondskin)

    What is the opening music for "Vegas Vacation"---it is the song that Clark excitedly, if not poorly, sings while swerving around in his SUV?"Vegas Vacation" Part 3 (mrbondskin)

      "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys. Chevy Chase's quick version of this feel-good 60s song is hardly classic, but it is funny.
