How Much Did They Win in Vegas Vacation?

By Robert Palmer

Are you a fan of the movie Vegas Vacation? If so, you might be wondering just how much money the characters won during their wild and crazy trip to Sin City.

Well, wonder no more! In this article, we’ll break down each character’s winnings and give you a better idea of just how lucky they really were.

Clark Griswold

Of course, we have to start with the patriarch of the Griswold family himself. Clark’s luck was up and down throughout the movie, but by the end of it all, he managed to come out ahead.

His biggest win came at the end of the film when he hit a slot machine jackpot worth $25,000. Not too shabby for a guy who just wanted to take his family on a fun vacation!

Eddie

Eddie may not have been as lucky as Clark in Vegas Vacation, but he still managed to leave Sin City with some extra cash in his pocket. His biggest win came from playing keno at the casino where he hit on five out of six numbers, earning him a prize of $1,500.

Not bad for a guy who was just along for the ride!

Rusty Griswold

Rusty may have been underage during most of the movie, but that didn’t stop him from trying his luck at some of Las Vegas’ most famous casinos. Unfortunately for Rusty, his biggest win came from gambling illegally – he won $250 playing blackjack while using a fake ID.

Ellen Griswold

Ellen didn’t do much gambling during her time in Las Vegas, but she did manage to hit on a slot machine at one point, winning a modest $25. Hey, every little bit counts!

Cousin Vicki

Last but not least, we have Cousin Vicki. She may have been the wild card of the group, but she still managed to get lucky at the casino.

Her biggest win came from playing roulette and hitting on black 23, earning her a prize of $350.

Final thoughts

So there you have it – a breakdown of each character’s winnings in Vegas Vacation. It’s clear that some were luckier than others, but in the end, everyone managed to come out ahead (or at least break even).

Of course, this is just a movie and not real life – so don’t expect to win big on your next trip to Las Vegas!
