Where's the casino that Clark Griswold went to?

You know, the one where he plays ';rock, paper, scissors';, ';guess which hand';, and ';I am thinking of a number 1-10..';, where in Las Vegas can I find that casino?

';In the original draft for Vegas Vacation, the Griswold%26#39;s do not stay at the Mirage Hotel. They stay at the Walley World Hotel and Casino, and Roy Walley was a part of the script. This is a reference to the Griswold%26#39;s vacation destination from the first film. The Griswold%26#39;s house is located on the same block as the Murtaugh House from the Lethal Weapon movies.';

It was an old casino called the Klondike. I am under the understanding that it is closed. I heard it was goofy, but didnt play the type of games that they played in the movie!

The Klondike is the hotel that advertised if you brought a copy of your airline ticket in, you had a chance to win back the amount of your airfare (and you spun the BIG WHEEL)....of course 99.9% of the spaces on the wheel were for $1.00! LOL

I wonder why the trivia mentions the Mirage then? I am so forgetful, I was thinking it was the Stardust.

Ramfan, let me get you in on a little secret. Hollywood is an illusion. They make films on backlot sets and with computer imagery. Even many of the voluptuous actresses have had their ';features'; enhanced. Are you sure you%26#39;re from New York?

LOL Maybe I should check-in my hotel as Nick Papa Georgio

That%26#39;s what our daughter calls Mr. Ducky! LOL

I LOVE Vegas Vacation and since I can%26#39;t remember anything, I am going to rent it again this weekend :)

..... and people say I am silly to enjoy the Western so.

Wasn%26#39;t it shot at the Mirage? I%26#39;m sure I remember the receiptionist welcoming them to the Mirage and the pit boss referencing the Mirage when Papa Georgio wins big.

Yes, many scenes were shot at the Mirage. You%26#39;ll notice the big fish tank behind the check-in counter in the movie. Some of the cafe scenes and bedroom scenes were obviously in the Mirage as well. Not that you can tell from the bedroom decor anymore since they%26#39;ve re-modeled.
