Chicago Reader
The Griswolds, headed by Chevy Chase, are taking what could be one of their last family vacations. - 40
Variety
Series regulars Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo and Randy Quaid (who joined for "Christmas Vacation") are all back for more, and thank God for Quaid, who injects a few bracing shots of mangy humor into what is otherwise a lukewarm brew. - 40
Austin Chronicle
If you enjoy an occasional taste of mental junk food, you might find Las Vegas Vacation worthy of a springtime dollar-cinema visit. Otherwise, hold out another decade for sexagenarian Chevy in Palm Springs Vacation. - 38
ReelViews
Chase, like his Vacation movies, are things of the past. This is a series that should have died with the '80s. Instead, inexplicably, it has limped on into the '90s. - 30
TV Guide Magazine
Chase is a veritable black-hole of mirthlessness who sucks every ounce of fun out what might otherwise be a fairly diverting comedy. - 25
San Francisco Chronicle
Why, if Chase is such a funny guy, does he make such unfunny movies? - 20
Washington Post
After a somewhat promising opening, the movie falls flat. - 10
The New York Times
Throughout this lame film, directed by Stephen Kessler and written by Elisa Bell, situations are developed -- complicated directions to a hotel room, Clark clinging to the face of Hoover Dam, Ellen the object of Mr. Newton's seductive charm -- and left to wither without a payoff.
