In the scene after Clark cashes a check to go to the card table Eddie orders a blue drink in a large glass. In the next shot when they walk away from the table Eddie's drink magically turns green. Then in the scene where they meet Wayne Newton, Eddie's drink is blue again. See more...
When the Griswolds are taking the limo ride right after they arrive in Vegas there is a shot when a taxicab crosses the screen. If you look at the advertisement on the top of the cab, it's Vicky, a Griswold family member that you don’t see until later in the movie. See more...

After the scene when Clarke announces that they are going to see Siegfried and Roy, Clarke and Ellen are walking away from the Siegfried and Roy theatre with programs in their hand. The only way to get programs is in the theatre, you can't buy them, they come with your ticket. The next scene shows them in the theatre. The scenes are not in the correct order. [They could have bought tickets, left the theater, and returned with the kids.]
At the end, all 4 of the cars that Rusty won were in the parking lot of a pink motel by the chapel where Clark and Ellen renewed their vows. How did Rusty know to have all 4 cars delivered there instead of to the Mirage or back to Chicago? [The whole reason for going on vacation was for Ellen and Clark to renew their vows. Rusty would have known where the chapel was, seeing as he and Audrey were witnesses to the wedding. Since he was using fake ID the whole time he was gambling, he probably ha the cars sent to the nearest motel to the chapel so as not to draw attention from security at the Mirage.]
In Clark's first main gambling session he is sitting on the chair with nothing and nobody beside him. A few shots later there is a beer can beside him. A few shots later the beer can is gone. About 4 shots later it's there again. [Things can change when there are multiple shots happening, especially as you say, 4 shots later, etc. Wait staff can pick up the empty can, passersby can drop an empty can on a table, etc. If it was one continuous scene or pan, it would be different, but these scenes are multi angle, and time passes.]
When Clark and Ellen go to join the Mile High Club on the airplane, you can see a foot of someone walking behind the curtain by the lavatories when Clark is trying to find which one Ellen is in. [How is that a mistake? Flight attendants are continually moving about the plane. Passengers occasionally have to use the facilities, etc. Seeing someone's foot walking behind a curtain would not be unusual.]
During the scene at the Hoover Dam when Chevy Chase slams into the wall while holding on to the power line, we never see what happens to the powerline. It's there when he hits the wall but when the camera goes back to him, showing him clinging to the side of the dam, it's gone. [The power line likely swung back out to hang vertically, out of camera range. When he hits the dam, the line is swinging in an arc, after he hits, and lets go, it will swing back to a vertical hang, and not be arced anymore.]
When the family leaves for Vegas, it's daylight out (you can see daylight from the windows on the plane). When they're picked up by the limo in Vegas & they're driving down the strip, it's dark. Seeing that they're from Chicago & Vegas is 2 hours behind, it should still be daylight out when they're picked up at the airport. [I live in Chicago and have flown to Vegas a few times. It is a three and a half hour flight. It is quite possible for it to be daylight when you leave and night time when you arrive, even with a two hour time difference. (This is the equivalent of getting dark in an hour and a half.)]
Eddie and Clark are on the tour bus when Eddie begins playing tour guide announcing that TI is on the right and Harrah's is on the left. In fact the tour bus is still downtown passing Binion's Horseshoe and is miles away from TI or Harrah's. [How is this a mistake? Eddie is not a tour guide, he has a metal plate in his head which affects him when his wife uses the microwave, he has an IQ of 70 at best, and he buries money in his back 'garden'. He is not playing with a full deck.]
The first time Russ wins a car it says .25 on the machine. Later Russ explains he put a dollar in he won a car and on and on he keeps saying put a dollar in he won a car. [For most slot machines, if you put in .25, you won't win the grand prize. You need to put the maximum bet in(usually a dollar) to win the grand prize, such as a car.]
It seems very odd that Rusty neglects to mention the fact that he won 4 cars when Clark mentions that he lost $22,000. One or two of those cars could easily be sold to make up that money. The Dodge Viper that he won could easily be sold for $60,000 even if it's a base model with no modifications. [A few things are wrong with this. First, it is quite possible that Rusty, being a teenager, didn't consider that the cars could have been sold. He knew that he won them and cared about that. A character mistake and not a movie mistake. Second, the time that it would have taken to sell the cars would have kept them in Vegas for longer than they had planned. Thirdly, it would have ruined the end when they drive home in them.]
