Vegas Vacation. Stephen Kessler. 1997. 
So this is part of the National Lampoon “vacation” series? I’m not quite sure how I come to have this DVD, but I think it may have been part of a box set…
I think I’ve probably seen these movies before? But I have no recollection of this one.
I thought it started off pretty well, with quite a few good jokes. But then it just went… boring…
It’s not so much that the jokes are lame (and they are), but that there’s so few of them. There’s even minutes where there’s nothing that can be identified as an attempt at a joke. And when there’s a gag it usually doesn’t land. And you can see how you’d just tweak some of these gags slightly and they’d work.
But it’s otherwise well made, I guess? There’s nothing annoying in the viewing experience.
It’s just not very funny.
I did like the “Guess what number” casino.
