The Griswold family embarks on a chaotic and accident-prone vacation to Las Vegas, where each family member pursues their own adventures and misadventures. Expect plenty of slapstick humor and a general theme of bad luck turning into good. It’s a lighthearted take on family travel gone hilariously wrong.

It does go through peaks and troughs, there are some uninteresting moments but by and large what I was viewing was passable entertainment.
