Me & my wife would stay in a beautiful room in the middle of the strip with a beautiful view of all the lights. During the day we would walk the streets admiring all the sights and go to exhibits including the shark reef. We would enjoy lunch at a wonderful little cafe in a casino and continue our nightly adventures with an evening show of the Blue Man Group or Zumanity or one of the other wonderful strip shows after which we would watch the romantic water show at Belagio. We would have an exciting and delicious dinner at an exotic buffet. We would end the night with some drinks and music then continue back to our beautiful room to look out at the beautiful view and enjoy a wonderful stress free fun night!  Bradley Ricca  Las Vegas NV

I have never been to Las Vegas but I would love very much to be able to bring my partner so that we can celebrate our anniversary, it would mean a great deal to me to have some happy memories in this uncertain world we live in.   Randall Lynch  Rancho Mirage CA

Me and my Family live in Vegas and we love to go stay at the hotels and go to all the shows and Entertainment. For 3 years we have explored much of Las Vegas, But recently my Fiance lost his job and we are not able to afford to continue visiting all the places in Vegas...Vegas is the best place we have ever lived and even being here 3 years we have yet to go to all the shows and sights and excursions that Vegas has to offer. This would be a blessing to our Family and we want to continue our adventure in Las Vegas.  Thank you Sincerely,  Shawna  curran   n las vegas NV

I would like to fly from Newark Airport non stop to Las Vegas, be picked up by limo and stay at the Wynn. In a perfect world I would be given money to gamble and eat at the finest restaurants then be flown back to Newark to end the perfect dream vacation.  pat berzanski  budd lake NJ

Waking up and taking the first breath of the day is a gift we should all be thankful for, but waking up and taking the first breath of the day in a city that never sleeps is a once in a
lifetime opportunity. I would love nothing more than to experience Las Vegas from something other than a gambling or "partying" view point. There is a culture unlike any where else in the world there and the vast diverstiy associated with the city boggles the brain even thiking about it. My dream (now that I'm older and wiser) is to travel to a city that affords every possible opportunity, have the ability to venture out and try new things, forget the mundane 9-5 robotic ritual of every day life and experience the wonders that only Las Vegas can offer. Then, top off
this unique, life changing adventure with marrying the one person who would truly completes me. I'm not sure anyone could totally consume all Las Vegas has to offer or even begin to appreciate a minute amount of the work involved in the preparation of activities, but I'd love to be given the chance to start enjoying life. And there's no better place on earth to begin actually living life and loving everything involved than Las Vegas.  Rhonda Cox  Palm City  FL

My Vegas dream vacation would start of with a limo service for me and 3 of my friends to the airport. Champagne would be flowing all the way to the airport. We would then fly, first class,
straight into Vegas where we would be met with a a limo and sexy driver to escort us to our hotel. When we arrive at Caesars Palace we are too excited for words. But nothing would be as breathtaking as our 2 bedroom luxury suite. We are carefree as we hit all the clubs vip every night. And in the morning we have a shopping spree to spend on the buffets and clothes we dream about. 3 days of pure luxury and parties.  Lindsey Hoban  san diego CA

A trip to Vegas would mean everything to us. This has been the toughest year of my life, losing my job and I just had a miscarriage. I would love it if we could spend our one year anniversary in Vegas to celebrate our strength. I love Vegas!  Emilie Mecklenborg  Ferndale MI

I would love a get away with just me and my husband. When we were married we had a ten month old and two full time jobs. So no honeymoon here. Now with three kids and jobs we just dont have the money to get away just the two of us. We would love to stay on the strip gamble see some shows and just undwind. Doesnt sound like much but to us its the world.  James Fairgood  Crescent city CA

I need a break, working 7 days a week for the last 5 years with a day off here and there! Lost the house regardless! My dream vacation is for my husband and I to win an all expense trip to Vegas this year! We have been able to save some money for a rainy day and this year in the Midwest we have had more than our share of rain! We both love Vegas, not enough money for shows, just walk the strip! The people that visit Las Vegas are fun to watch. Not enough money
for an exclusive restaurant, get your restaurant coupons ready before your trip. Not enough money to play and win on the slot machines, plenty of 'penny' slots! Eventually we plan to retire in Vegas, just under 5 years to go as long as we both live long enough. In the meantime an all
expensed Free trip with airfare included would suffice!  Cindy Kocol  Crystal Lake IL

My ideal vacation in vegas is slightly different than most because I could be happy sitting poolside with a good book and letting the world go by me one day at a time.  No need for lavish hotel rooms and food that costs more than a normal person makes in a month, just quite poolside time with all the interesting people walking by would make me content.  Frank W.  Chicago IL

My boyfriend has never been to Vegas. It's not because of the economy or the typical work schedule. It's because he has his mind made up that a Florida beach would do the trick. I happen to believe otherwise. My dream Vegas vacation would be the perfect opportunity for me to show my boyfriend a grand time in fabulous Las Vegas. We would book a room for four nights at the extravagant Bellagio. (Why only four nights? Because one physically cannot handle more. Mind you, four nights is already treading a thin line!) From a wildly entertaining Vegas show to a night helicopter tour of the strip to sipping wine in one of the most overgenerous restaurants found along the Vegas strip, my boyfriend will not be close to thinking about the Florida beaches. Besides, the pools at Caesar's Palace, Planet Hollywood and of
course Mandalay Bay's man made beach will have my boyfriend tan, relaxed and left with a constantly refilled drink of his choice. What will I be doing during his relaxation time? I will be smiling and ready to spring the next item on the Vegas itinerary. We will definitely spend some
money. Not just on clothes and souvenirs, but trying our luck at the tables. Poker, poker, and blackjack will compromise most of our casino strip visits. When you are in Vegas, you might as well go all out trying to fit in as much there is to do as possible. And we are no exception. There will never be time for a dull moment on this Vegas dream vacation.  Andrea Andrade  Hollandale MS

My Las Vegas dream vacation would be going to Vegas for at least 2 weeks with a bunch of friends, preferably girlfriends and staying in the middle of the strip at Flamingo, Ceasars,or even down further at the MGM. 2 weeks at least would give us enough time to relax by the pool some days, get an amazing tan and also walk the strip & check out all the hotels & attractions, visit the Grand Canyon. In the evenings we would go to 5 star restaurants, catch some popular shows, whether it be Jubilee, Chris Angel or Cher etc and every night be at the hottest dance clubs on the strip, especially Pure and Studio 54. My dream vacation would also entail meeting, partying & hanging out with famous celebrities & getting invited to the hot Vegas events. Hopefully I will meet someone famous who offers me a really amazing job opportunity in Vegas, related to my field of work and my dream vacation turns into me eventually working & living down there at least for a portion of the year, that way myself, family & friends can go to Vegas on a regular basis. Of course it would also be ideal to meet my future husband down there whos
originally from Europe and has an amazing job as well.  Melissa Almonte  Stoney Creek  ON  Canada

Casino's here, casino's there, casinos everywhere! When most people think of Las Vegas they think night club and casinos. But from my point of view, Las Vegas is a great spot because of
the variety of the things you can do. You can hike a Mt. Charleston and Red Rock, or you go to the Adventure dome for a thrill. My ideal vacation is to do things you can't do in your home town. But in Las Vegas, you can do a lot of different things without traveling too far. My ideal vacation is not doing one thing every day. My ideal vacation, does everything pleased which you can do in Vegas!  Amy Lane  Las Vegas NV

My dream vacation would be to take 10 of my relatives and closest friends to Las Vegas and not have to worry about the costs of anything. I would enjoy any room on the Strip,off the Strip, or downtown. I Love Vegas plain and simple. Just being there is a dream within its self.  Linda  Sinette  Dallas TX

I'm a 24 year old mother of five. Me and my husband have been married for four years. When we got married it was just a little wedding with family and we always wanted a Vegas Wedding but
didn't have the money to do it. We also wanted to do our honeymoon there also but again not enough money. So to win this contest would be a dream come true for me and my husband. We would love to renew our vows as well. I hope you would pick us.  Ashley Hebrock   Leavittsburg OH

My dream vacation would consist of a luxury suite in a 4 star hotel for myself, wife and son. The room would have large flat screen TV so my son could play his favorite video games. My wife would have access to a fine spa so she could be pampered as she deserves. As for me, the oportunity to play in a casino with a great variety of casino games. Video keno is my favorite so I would desire a good selection of HD machines. A couple of side trips to the Red Rock Canyon, the Hoover Dam would be really nice to spend time as a family. The opportunity to partake in great meals at 4 star restaurants. Plus, taking in the most popular shows as a family. I love Las Vegas and visit it as often as I can. We visit Las Vegas as a family evertime. Unfortunately, on a teacher's salary, we are on a budget. But, a guy can dream. You know
maybe those simple Vegas vacations are a dream vacation. My son is 16 and soon he won't be living at home or wanting to vacation with his mom and dad. He still enjoys our visits to Las Vegas as a family. Thanks, I really enjoy your website.  Anthony Aguilar  Bakersfield CA

My Vegas Dream Vacation will become a reality in May, God willing. For the first time in over 20 years, my brothers, sister and I will be together along with our spouses and many of our children. We're coming together to celebrate my son's graduation from the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Touro University in Henderson. Of course, we'll take a ton of photos, and they will be even more awesome because of the backdrop of Vegas. I'm picturing all of us in front of the Eiffel Tower at Paris, the gleaming white statues of the gods at Caesar's Palace, along the lighted water show at Bellagio, and the pyramid at Luxor. Our get-together deserves neon lights, splashing fountains, and beautiful foods, all which Vegas excels at providing. We'll also take time to see Red Rocks where my son loves to climb, Mt. Charleston, and all the
beauty of the surrounding area. We've been dreaming of this trip for the last four years, and my son has been working hard to accomplish his dream of becoming a doctor. My family is blessed, and we are thankful. Joanne Newton  Rockford IL

We are picked up by limo and driven to the Venetian Hotel. We would have a PH suite overlooking the sparkling lights of Vegas. We would have free unlimited access to all the top
nightclubs-drinks included of course! We would finally get to go see The Blue Man Group and Donny and Marie while on our dream vacation. In the mornings/afternoons we would receive spa services at the Canyon Ranch Spaclub, to pamper our bodies and to prepare it for another fab night on the town. We would relax by the poolside in our own private cabana and work on our golden glow while cooling down in the lounge pool. Before we hit the town for another fun filled evening, we would walk the canal shops and salivate at all the things to buy from the array of fine store. In the evening,we would then take a romantic ride in a gondola,holding each other as we glide across the water and marvel at all that Vegas has to offer. The day we are to leave, we would have a delicious breakfast at the Carnival World Buffet, indulging in all the wonderful seafood and foods from aroung the world.We would then be driven back to the airport in limousine style with a smiles from ear to ear knowning that we just had the best trip ever!   Kimberly Troyer  Phoenix AZ

The best las vegas vacation would be seeing old friends, taking a helecopter ride at night and going to see hoover dam. Then taking a limo down the las vegas strip at night with my friends.
Then having a nice dinner at wolf gang pucks restaurant. Then taking a ride to the mountains would be the best vacation ever. paula loyd   granite city IL

My dream Vegas vacation would begin with a stay at the Luxor. Ever since it was built, I have wanted to stay there. I would have front & center tickets to Criss Angel's show at Cirque du
Soleil and would get to finally meet him backstage. I would get to tour Las Vegas and finally realize my dream of seeing and taking a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. I would have enough money to spend in every casino without worrying about it. I would finally get to see the city I have been dreaming about visiting since I was little and first became aware of this wonderful city through Elvis' song "Viva Las Vegas". It is still one of my favorite songs to this day, and it is still my favorite dream and hope that someday I will be able to visit this fabulous place.  Mary Ann Carnicelli   Auburn NY

My dream vacation story... I would stay at the Wynn, because it's a beautiful, beautiful hotel & I've never stayed there... I would go and see Jersey Boys because it is an amazing show & worth seeing a second... I would eat at the Victoria Room at Bill's Gambling Hall, because I once had a memorable meal there... I would gamble at many, many places on the strip & take in the sights... I would have drinks by the pool... I would enter a poker tournament, because I've
always wanted to, I would stay out late & sleep in even later... it would be amazing.   Kim Clark  Mannville AB US

The best Vegas vacation imaginable is the Vegas vacation that is won. The Vegas vacation where you don't have to save every penny to come to one of the most wonderful and amazing cities in the world. It would be phenomenal to go on somebody else's dime!  I look everyday for a deal for hotel and airfare and that have to make sure there's enough for food and gambling. I would love to be able to take my daughter and show her Vegas the way it should be enjoyed - with a strip view and not on a budget. Now that would be the best Vegas vacation imaginable!   marla wilk   NJ

just to get to go and see all the shows.  barb reese   niles MI

I will be 28 years old on October 29th of this year, and I would like nothing more than to spend my birthday in LAs Vegas. I have always wanted to visit this unique city where people go to
cut loose and kick back. For me the perfect trip would go a little something like this... I would fly into Vegas right after the sun set,landing among a colorful garden of moving lights, this is what I would see from my passenger window. There would be a black car limo at the airport waiting to wisk me away to a 5 diamond hotel resort. My suite would over look the strip, and there would be a chilled bottle of champagne and two tickets to the Cirque Du Soleil O show, awaiting me upon arrival. I would look forward to seeing the dancing fountains of the Bellagio, there is something magical about orchestrated water movement. One day of my Vegas getaway would have to involve visiting the Grand Canyon, where I would bravely walk on the glass bridge and marvel at one of the Seven Wonders of the World. After my back to nature moment, I would return to the strip for a day of sightseeing that would include the Vegas Eiffel Tower and the MGM Grand. I'm a boxing fan and I have always wanted to visit the famed boxing arena. By night I would try my luck on the slots, and for the first time ever I would try my hand at playing a table game. Somewhere during my vacation I would fit in a spa day where I would get a
massage and facial. I would also make good use of the resort Jacuzzi and swimming pool. When I think of Las Vegas, I think of Willy Wonka. Alexis Lindsey  philadelphia PA

We're celebrating my brother's 50th in February and would love to win a vegas trip Catherine  Leggieri  Ann Arbor MI

Well let's begin by having this be the most enjoyable vacation and profitable for everyone and for the Great State of Nevada. With the dawn of new inventions and going green also with the Baby Boomers coming of age I believe this device may be a welcome one. Not an inventor so I'm unable to tell you exactly how it would work, but I can tell you what I would expect the device to be able to acomplish. It would be compared to what I believe my understanding of the Nevada Nickles is. As I understand it all the Nevada Nickle slots were connected in some mannor all over Las Vegas. Well why not make it a delight for the visitors of Vegas and have a Centralized Casino Slot Club Sign Up Machine located near each entrance of each and every casino and not just the well known or larger casinos. Each machine would allow you to enter your Name, and a pre determined entry of several different choices, chosen only by the player, and it would issue a players card for that casino. For the older or handicap players oh what a joy this would be, and for the players how much quicker they could get right down playing and enjoying what they came to Vegas for. Not saying that walking, wheel chair pushing, or limping to the Casino Players Booth which are always located in the farthest corner of the every casino is not enjoyable, but, sometimes painfull and time wasting, and those that are waiting are not spending and less profitable for the casino. So why not Machine Magic Casino Card, just a name that poped into my head. This unit would not only issue cards to people that have cards but also to new players. Catherine Banks   Elgin IL

My vegas "dream" vacation would become a "reality"...if I was to win the $200.00 from this contest to be able to afford to go!  I haven't been on a vacation for over 10 years - just to get out of phoenix's city limits and finally get to see the city of Las Vegas for myself would definitely be a dream come true for me! nothing like that ever happens to me...i always feel like dorothy in the wizard of Oz when the scarecrow, tin man, and the cowardly lion receive what they went to the wizard for, and then it's Dorothy's turn and she says "there's nothing in that bag for me"!i wish...that I could click my heels three times and say "there's no place like vegas, there's no place like vegas" And be there!   cathy ryan  phoenix AZ

My dream vacation to Las Vegas, would be the happiest day of my life. I have been married for 10 years and never went on a honeymoon. Not even for the weekend. My children were small at
the time and my parents did not agree wit my marrige with my husband. We went to the court house signed the marrige papers and went to applebee;s for dinner with our two kids because my mother wouldnt stay with them. I am still surprised we have lasted our marrige this long and if we ever go on vacation its alwayd to disney for the weekend and we never have time alone. My husband and I had been in a economic crisis in the past and just havent had the money for hotel,air,and everything else that follows. I would love to win my first honeymoon even if its 10 years later. Thankyou   Mayrene Rivas  Wpb FL

Never won a contest - never had to. When I want to go to vegas I go. Anyone can experience vegas from the rich to the poor...but it's "how" you experience vegas that matters! My dream vacation is to go and drop an "insane" amount of money there!   Cory Contreras  Phoenix AZ

My dream Las Vegas vacation would be to fly first class to Las Vegas with my husband for our anniversary. We would have a personal limo for our entire trip and would start by picking us up
at the airport and taking us to our suite at Bellagio where we would have a gift basket of champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries waiting for us. We would have complimentary VIP show tickets to see Barry Manilow, Donny & Marie and Cher. We'll also be able to meet them, take a picture with them and have them autograph the souvenir photos. We'll dine at
Andre's at the Monte Carlo, Aureole at Mandalay Bay and Shibuya at the MGM Grand. We'll also visit the lions at MGM Grand and have our picture taken with the cubs. We'll play a few games at Circus Circus to win a teddy bear to take home. Then the highlight of our vacation will be to hit a 777 jackpot at a slot machine.  Brenda Lee  Sunnyvale CA
