If you’re a fan of the National Lampoon’s Vacation series, you might be familiar with Clark Griswold’s infamous trip to Las Vegas in “Vegas Vacation.” While the movie is a comedy classic, one question that has been on many fans’ minds is – how much did Clark Griswold win in Vegas?
While there isn’t an exact amount mentioned in the movie, it’s estimated that Clark won around $2,000,000. This amount comes from a few different clues throughout the film.
Firstly, in one scene, Clark is shown playing a slot machine and hitting the jackpot. While we don’t see exactly how much he wins, it’s hinted at being a substantial amount. Additionally, when he returns to his hotel room later that night, he is seen counting out stacks of cash on his bed.
Another clue comes from a conversation Clark has with his son Rusty. As they walk through a casino together, Rusty asks his dad how much money he has won so far.
Clark responds by saying “Oh, I don’t know.. about two million dollars.” While this could be interpreted as a joke or exaggeration, it’s still the closest thing we have to an official answer.
Of course, it’s important to remember that this is all fictional and meant for comedic effect. In real life, winning millions of dollars at a casino is incredibly rare and unlikely.
Regardless of the exact amount he won, it’s safe to say that Clark Griswold had quite the lucky streak in Vegas. And while we may not all be able to replicate his success at the casino (or his hilarious antics), we can still enjoy this classic film and its memorable moments.
So next time you watch “Vegas Vacation,” keep an eye out for those subtle hints about Clark’s winnings – and maybe even try your luck at the slots yourself (just don’t expect to win millions!).
