<P> Upon arriving in Vegas , the family embarks upon a series of misadventures . The Griswolds visit Cousin Eddie , the husband of Ellen 's cousin Catherine . Eddie and his family now live in the desert just north of Las Vegas , on what used to be a hydrogen bomb test site . While on a group tour of the Hoover Dam led by guide Arty , Clark leaves the group after accidentally creating a leak in the dam 's inside walkways , and is forced to climb the scaffolding to the very top of the dam to get out , because his cries for help can not be heard over the roaring water . The next night , they are surprised to find tickets to a Wayne Newton concert and a dress for Ellen have been delivered to their hotel room . They go to the concert , only to realize that Newton had sent the dress . While singing , he brings Ellen up on stage to sing with him , and visits at their table . </P>
