53What color dye is seen on Clark's right hand and Ellen's left foot as a result of her foot getting stuck in an airplane toilet while turbulence interrupted their amorous activities?

54As the children rib their parents about the failed mile-high-sex attempt, what book shop is seen in the background of the airport?
Answer: Waterstone's Booksellers

55As the Griswold limo enters the Las Vegas Strip, what are the names of the first four casino hotel marquees that are shown in all their neon glitter?
Answer: Caesars Palace, Stratosphere, Treasure Island, and Tropicana
Old disco music from the 70s plays in the background as Clark drops down his limo window and gazes for the first time on the Las Vegas strip.
56As Ellen opens her jaws longingly at the sight of seeing her icon Wayne Newton in lights, what are the dates that he is appearing at the MGM Grand?
Answer: June 27-July 3
This was filmed while Wayne Newton was still working for the MGM Grand. Mr. Las Vegas now has his own multi-million dollar theatre and works nearly 8 shows per week at the Stardust Hotel Casino. What would be cool to know---if there is a diehard Newton fan that could somehow find out---is whether those were the actual dates that he played in the year the film was shot, 1996.
57How much is the dinner buffet at the Round Table Buffet at the Excalibur Hotel as is advertised on the giant marquee?
Answer: $5.99
The breakfast is $3.99, the lunch is $4.99, and the dinner is $5.99. Those were the rates back in 1996---they are of course higher now, although for an all-you-can-eat buffet, the prices are still reasonable.
59As the limo makes its way up and down the Las Vegas Strip, which Hotel does NOT flash by in the lengthy Strip montage?
Answer: Mandalay Bay
The easy answer is here for two reasons. First, because no image of Mandalay Bay is ever shown in the movie, and second, because construction on that hotel didn't even begin until 2 years after the film was shot.
60What is the name of the actress, and former cast member of television's "Saturday Night Live", who plays the Front Desk receptionist that checks the Griswolds into the Mirage Hotel?
