It would be a dream come true if I won a Vegas Vacation. This is a place I always wanted to go. I love the lights and the excitement of Vegas. I would love to go to Vegas and experience the shows and glamour of the city of lights. In my current situation, I am unable to afford a vacation so this is a great opportunity for me and my family.  Girnita Island  Missouri City TX

 

I have never been but I can imagine the color, the vibrancy, the food and the shows as well as exotic highlights, including slots and other Vegas notables. It will be a dream to sleep in the luxury of the hotel there and just breathe in the action.  Audrey Lawrence  Ottawa  ON Canada

 

Las Vegas is a place where all your travel experiences can happen while visiting one state.  (All the different casino's and who they represent) and your fantasies and educational places of interest.  You can be a "kid" or a grownup? You choose?  Ann Losito  Las Vegas NV

 

All inclusive, family type adventure.  Sabi Edwards  Delisle CA

 

Me, my husband, my brother, brother and sister-in-law, my mom and dad, and my 2 best friends arrive at McCarran airport around 11pm, taking the red eye flight from Cleveland since what's the use in getting a good night sleep? We all take a limousine to the Wynn Hotel where we are already checked into our own suites with fully stocked bars. We quickly change, pick up a few thousand dollars each that was provided for gambling money and head down to check out the casino. Making sure to stop at blackjack, poker and the roulette tables we will also try our luck at the slots. The next morning, we will meet and head to Island Buffet in Tropicana for breakfast. Then head to the Flamingo to work off breakfast on the water slide, sipping beverages from their pink flamingo cups while enjoying a pool side massage. Next, the shows, hitting Mystere at Treasure Island-I hear it's awesome, stopping to see the Volcano erupt. After that, we walk (to see the strip) to Excalibur for King Arthur's Court to eat with our hands for old time sake. Then it's off to Bellagio for a poker game with the high rollers. The rest of the trip would include, lunch at Hyakumi in Caesar's Palace, dinner prepared by Chef Paul Bartolotta at Wynn. A night at Rain Night club in the Palms, seeing Avenue Q at the Broadway Theater, Blue Man Group at the Venetian for Erin, Comedy Stop Theatre at Tropicana for Heather, more pool side drinking for me, interrupting only to stop by whatever gaming table my dad has been sitting at for 3 days. Topping the trip off at Ellis Island for some top notch karaoke, Wheel of Fortune slots & renew our vows in front of Elvis!  Melinda Miller  Medina OH

 

The most ideal Las Vegas trip would be with my family ....bashing up in the casinos, having a look at the night life of Vegas n dining out in the most exclusive hotel of Vegas. Partying there would be another option for a fun in Vegas!  Shivchandra Sharma  Meerut IN

 

My dream vacation happened already. I came to Vegas to honor my mom, who had passed away. She loved Vegas. I did all the things she enjoyed. The day before I was to leave this magical city. I decided to play a slot machine she loved. I won $5200. I only wished that she was the one that won. But I felt her spirit was with me at the moment. I hope she enjoyed it as much as me. I loved her a great deal and felt my trip to her city honored her. I know it opened a door for all my future vacations. I have been back at least 9 times. I love the city. Viva Las Vegas  Ron Brywka  Phila PA

 

Hurricane season is almost over. Next year I would LOVE to spend ALL of the hurricane season in Las Vegas. 4 last year and the tail end of one this year..... DRY weather is a plus. Throw in a beautiful hotel, room service, spa treatments and being able to gamble as long as I choose. What more could a gal ask for?  Carol Sherrod  St Cloud FL

 

It would consist of not gambling or drinking but still managing to walk away with lots of money.  Murtaza Najmudin  St. Catharines ON Canada

 

My ultimate Vegas dream vacation would start with first class plane tickets. (I've always wanted to fly first class.) then, I would have to stay at the Rio suites. every room is a suite with a great view. I would love to take advantage of their great spa and swimming pools. for dinner I would head to their seafood buffet. Rio also holds my favorite night club in Vegas, the voodoo lounge. (the patio has the most incredible view of the strip.) from there...well, anything can happen in Vegas!  Schuyler Webster  Woodhaven MI

 

I have recently turned 21 and my dream present would be a trip to Vegas, seeing as i'm officially legal! I enjoy excitement and constant action. I think the scenery and entertainment in Vegas would be a great first experience.  Connie Monteleone  Montreal  PQ

 

A family vacation all inclusive.  Colten Edwards  Delisle SK Canada

 

I would be going there to be a spectator at the World series of poker as I couldn't possibly afford to enter. After stepping off the plane I would see a slot machine right to my left, I would reach in my pocket and pull out a 10 dollar bill and put it in. As I near the last 3 credits on the machine, I would hit the jackpot! It would pay me 10,000 dollars so now, instead of a spectator, I could Enter the World Series of Poker. I would speed over to the casino and register, and look down at my entry ticket as if it was the GOLDEN TICKET from the Willy Wonka movie. Then I would head off to sleep to rest for the tourney. The next morning I would wake up and walk past some pro's I have only seen on TV. It would be a dream come true just to be there! Then I would take my seat at my table, the table would be full except for one seat, As the announcer yells out shuffle up and Deal the seat next to me would be filled by none other then 10 time bracelet winner Johhny Chan!! Talk about intimidation.. The first hand would be dealt, I would be dealt 9 10 of hearts, and I would be the Big Blind. The rest of the table would fold all the way to Johhny Chan the small blind and he would raise the bet to 1000 dollars, 10 percent of my chips would have to go in to see the flop! But following a feeling in my Gut I call! The Flop comes King spades Jack hearts Queen Hearts, I would have a Straight and a Straight flush Draw, Johhny moves all in. I Call immediately, Johhny turns over Ace King Clubs, The Next card is a King of Clubs, Followed by the King of hearts Giving Chan Quads And Me a Straight Flush! Dreams can come True!  Joseph Williams  Port Richey FLl

 

My dream Las Vegas Vacation would be for me to fly to Vegas and be greeted by my boyfriend in a limo to take us to a luxury hotel. Then we would go have a very nice dinner at the Italian restaurant in The Aladdin. From there we would go to ICE and dance the night away and be greeted in the hotel room with a bath full of bubbles and rose petals. The next day we would go on the helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon. The we would have money to gamble and drink all day on the strip. That night we would go see a would famous Vegas show and have dinner at The Mandalay Bay buffet. The next morning we would have a limo take up to breakfast and shopping for the day. Then have a relaxing day in the casino we were staying in and be flown home the next day.  Jessica Fox  Tucson  AZ

 

My boyfriend and I have been dreaming of eloping when the time comes to get married. There seems to be a lot of stress associated with planning a wedding, and we both want to avoid that. My dream Vegas vacation would be to have my boyfriend and I whisked away for a long weekend, where we would get married in a quick, but classy ceremony. Just the two of us would be there, no planning, no invitations, no stress. After the ceremony we would relax at a luxurious spa, and spend the afternoon by the hotel pool soaking in the sun. That evening we would have a wonderful dinner with champagne to celebrate and then head out to see a fabulous show. It would be a great night to top off an even better day. The best part of our long weekend would be being able to be alone, just the two of us, on our special day.  Heather Josef  Sun Prairie WI

 

I love Vegas! My dream vacation would start off with a flight that lands mid-afternoon to Vegas. I would arrive with my husband and stand in the baggage claim looking at all of our options for entertainment. Nothing beats the excitement of arriving in Vegas and having your whole trip in front of you. We would hurry off to the Venetian, Bellagio or the Wynn and get ready for a night on the town. We love to come to Vegas but always stay where it very inexpensive. It would be a dream to stay somewhere nice in Vegas. I would eat dinner at Picasso's at the Bellagio and love every minute of it. The next morning, I would visit the Palms Spa for a makeover like you see on TV. Hair, make-up, the works! My husband would spend that time gambling at the Palms because he loves it there! The rest of the trip would be spent walking around and see everything at the casinos. We love to see what is new and what restaurants we could eat at. Vegas is an amazing city and we love every minute that we spend there. We have two small children so we don't have the time or money to visit at much as we would like. That's why every minute is precious to us in Vegas. It is our favorite town!  Gina Sprenger  Twinsburg OH

 

My Vegas Dream Vacation would start off with a limo ride to the airport, two first class airline tickets and greeted at the Las Vegas Airport like a celebrity. My husband and I would stay at the MGM Grand in a beautiful suite. We would spend the day playing slot machines and eating at the wonderful restaurants then go on a shopping spree for gifts and an exquisite outfit to wear to one of the wonderful shows on the strip. We would have an elegant dinner and perhaps meet a celebrity. The evening would go on forever. We would stroll through the casino with a smile on our faces holding hands and loving every minute of our dream vacation. The next morning we would start all over again!  Donna Ogden  St. Petersburg  FL

 

I Think that just the fact of flying over Vegas city in a arrival by night will be incredible.  Next on the same night going to see a late show and end the first day in a room of an 5 stars hotel. The first day: visiting the Liberace museum after having a great brunch at the hotel. Ending this day by seeing the Celine Dion show. WOW. If we can see her after her show it would be great, we're from Quebec. in the afternoon, gaming classes at Las Vegas Hilton and ending the day at a very great Casino with a lot of show and entertainment and play Flip it. Ending the day with a dessert at the Coyote Café. The third day: Sounds like a Dinner once at the Emeril's would be great. Visit the Stratosphere tower. See the fountains at Bellagio. Go see the Cirque du Soleil Show. Go shopping at the Strip. On The fourth day: See the Elvis Museum and See the shark reef. Lunch once at the Effie tower restaurant. Get a tour of Helicopter over the Grand Canyon. see the Lance Burton magician show. fifth day: After Brunch going at a great spa for relaxation. Go dancing at the ghost Bar. Go see the Folibergères. On the sixth day: See the mystic fall Park. Go see a Zoo and Aquatic park. Go see Elton John at the Caesar. Seventh day: Go see some chapel of love. Before a great lunch. see le show La Femme. And ending by leaving the city a night again. There are so much things we can do to Vegas that it would take more than seven days. But I think a trip like that would be the TRIP of one life.  Brigitte Rivard Rimouski  PQ Canada

 

The ultimate dream vacation to Las Vegas would be to be among good friends, good food, good entertainment and to leave with a few dollars and no regrets.  GB Jones  Wasilla AK

 

A dream in the great Las Vegas, exploring the best of all cities across the world in one place, the great mystery pyramids of Egypt to the south Caribbean seas ravaged by pirates,  dolphins, ocean life and white tigers near a great volcano among a mirage of wonders in this dry seemingly lifeless desert. experience the tastes of every great restaurant, and taking the risk dancing with lady luck in the brilliant flashing nightlife casino games, bathing in luxury of
the body and mind at exquisite spas, I would love to explore among the great cities in this world all close together as one, Greek architecture, the canals and street of Paris, the great circus, and Stoll down through New York New York before joining the medieval courts and feasting as I cheer on with all others around me, sharing in this wonderful fantasy dream that is Las Vegas.  After leaving, I could always return to this dream anytime. Las Vegas is an experience you cannot fully hold in one night, nor one month, its never-ending adventure.  Bristol Eastwood  Corvallis OR

 

Well my fiance and I would love to be married in Vegas, and secondly my dad lives in Vegas and I haven't gotten to see him in 4 years. I miss him and if he could be at our wedding....
Rock On!  Dana Shepherd   Springfield IL

 

My dream vacation of Vegas would be to stay at the hottest luxury hotel in all of Vegas and play slots every day for like a week. Of course with money I win off a contest. Go shopping too for clothes and stuff for my little girl. I would take my mother and sister as well. It would be awesome if I won a lot of money on the slots so I could have something to save upon going home. You see since I cant work now its hard to provide for my daughter. I'm a single mother.
I hope I win this contest regardless so we can fun!  Doris Perez  New York NY

 

My brother lives in Las Vegas and for one reason or another, I have not seen him in three years. I would love to see him and see all the new hotels, restaurants and especially the art that Wynn has picked out that I've heard about as I love art! And gamble too.  Alicia Zemer  Oak Brook IL

 

Its simple... me, my wife and two kids arrive in Las Vegas in the early morning, get our rental car (Midsize, get our room at our favorite hotel/casino there (The Flamingo), gets some sleep and wake up, have a feast of a breakfast at the buffet and then
walk the strip. FUN FUN FUN!  Vincent Mandile  Bronx NY

 

My dream vacation to Vegas is a penthouse suite, gourmet meals and drinks whenever I please, gambling in my socks....never having to leave the hotel complex! OH and let's not forget WINNING!   Carol Hammonds  Sandwich IL

 

I had planned to go to Vegas since my daughter was 11 years old. We knew that it was not a place for children so we waited to go in Sept the year she graduated and went to college. Went out for 5 days. Lost every cent I had taken to play with. Ate some great food and got a lot of free stuff. I didn't plan it very well though and didn't get to see as much as I wanted to. Well needless to say that is all I talked about for the following months and we were planning our second trip back. The following May and every May since we have vacationed in our now favorite vacation spot. I still usually lose every cent that I take and never complain about it because it is the greatest place on earth with an almost anything goes environment and for one week out of the year I can let my hair down, spend some money and stay up all night.  Theresa Clift  Marietta OH

 

I would like to take my husband to Las Vegas one more time. He is retired and we used to go to Vegas at least once a year. But since he retired and our two grand daughters live with us, we "Don't Have the Money" to go.  Juanita Miller  Tolar TX

 

Dream vacation would be just to getaway with my husband. Leave the kids with my mom and just have a good time.  Mary Fossesca  Hatboro PA

 

I went to Las Vegas about 4 years ago for the first time. I come from a large, close knit family and gambling is one of our most enjoyable past times. Based on that, my dream trip to Las Vegas would include those with whom I made the trip four years ago. It included my mom, two sisters, sister-in-law and two nieces-ladies only! It would be special this time around because of my mother's ongoing fight with breast cancer this past year. With the fight came the realization of how important it is to enjoy life with those you love. And there is no better place to do it than in Vegas!! We would get our limo from the airport. Just like last time, making our entrance onto the strip with about 20 suitcases hanging out of the limo's trunk. A girl's gotta have her clothes! My pick of hotels would have to be Mandalay Bay for the exciting night life. As well as the beautiful gardens and pools to soak up in the day. Waking around noon, we would hit Paris for a world famous daiquiri in an Eiffel Tower. Then on to the shops for the extravagant clothes and jewelry. Not needing reminding to grab a delicious bite to eat at one of Wolfgang Puck's famous eateries. But as we pass the sounds of slots hitting we can't resist the urge to play. Off to try our luck at slots and blackjack. When we hit the jackpot (or lost all our money), we would hit a dueling piano bar to laugh and celebrate our night away.  Remembering that it isn't money that keeps us alive and happy but our love for each other!  Amy Heffron  Orwigsburg PA

 

I have already experienced my ultimate dream Las Vegas vacation. Me and 10 of my closest friends drove into Vegas on a Thursday night around 1am, arrived at Bally's and checked into three connecting suites. We sipped champagne and ate strawberries into the wee hours of the morning. The next day after a long mornings nap we went on a backstage tour of Mystere followed by the performance. After the show we took a limo to Ghost Bar where we entered VIP, no wait, no line and sat in our own reserved VIP area and drank 4 bottles of Dom Peringnon and danced the night away. The rest is a blur until I awoke and had a late breakfast, 5pm. We then prepared for another night out. We hopped into another limo and headed to Studio 54 where once again we entered VIP and took the private elevator to our private stantioned booth, we drank appletini's and g'n't's and watched the dance floor from the tv monitor in our VIP area, then danced the night away on our private dance floor!  Catherine Elrod  Long Beach CA

 

Vegas to me is like a dream come true. All the lights and excitement. Being around people from all over the world. Hoping to win a mega jackpot or any big jackpot. The excitement is a rush. Staying in a suite and feeling like a very special person is a thrill. The restaurants are outstanding in Vegas. The choice is many to choose from. The finest chef's. The stores have the most unbelievable clothes. So many to choose from. Vegas is a dream come true. Beverly Sonin  Garden Gove CA

 

My dream Las Vegas vacation would be to have a Hummer Limo pick myself and my parents up at the airport. Take us to the Wynn Hotel and Casino for a Sunday to Thursday stay. The Staff at Wynn would treat us like "Big Spenders" and have the run of the hotel. Be totally pampered with a fruit basket and champagne, massages at
the spa and a dinner at one of their most expensive restaurants. We would have a helicopter tour of Vegas at night, fly over the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. The best thing that could happen would be to play the slots in the High Limits Room and hit a big payout on a progressive machine. This would be my Dream Vacation!  Mary Webster  Oklahoma City OK

 

My dream vacation would be a week of rest and play in Vegas. First, I would spend a few days at the Four Season Hotel to be pamper and the later part of the week playing my favorite slots on the strip.  Victoria Williams  Los Angeles CA

 

I win $2000000 and retire.  Phillip Stacy  Jacksonville FL

 

Staying in a nice hotel with luxury accommodations. Going to the shows and playing games at the casinos. Touring the city for points of interest. Enjoying the nice climate.  Curtis Kyser  Hoover AL

 

Oh, the lights, the shows, the sights, blah blah blah. You're not really thinking that's my dream trip, are you? We all know what EVERYONE'S dream trip is...to hit BIG. I mean HUGE!! Like, I need an armored truck to escort me home!  Now THAT'S a dream I'd like to see come true!  Anne Zavalick  Middlesex NJ

 

Just as always, a Vegas dream vacation is leave Thursday come home late Sunday. Stay in a pre paid room, free meals, shows and transportation. Winning more than I came with!  Richard Evans  Evans CO

 

I would stay at Caesars because I love the garden tub and the shopping is available right there. I enjoy playing slots, roulette and blackjack with no worries of a spending limit and watch the entertaining shows every night. Then I would wake up from my dream and find myself in Las Vegas and be able to do everything again!!  Elizabeth North  Nicholasville KY

 

Retired, paid my dues. Raised a family,  helped with grandchildren and aged parents...I have read about Vegas, listen to people who have been there. On my list of most do before I become a heavenly angel.... Patricia Martin  Raynham MA

 

 Would love to go to Vegas alone with my husband.  Jeanette Malan  Ogden  UT

 

My dream Las Vegas Vacation would be to be able to spend at least one full week in Las Vegas. I would go to the all of the great shows that are offered--Celine Dion, Barry Manilow, etc.  I would go the casinos, enjoy the food, and of course, gamble. I would also tour the hotels, go out to the Grand Canyon, tour Hoover Dam, and also go to Lake Mead. There are so many great things to do in Vegas that just going there is a dream!  Mary Althoff  Strawberry Point IA

 

I am 66 years old and have never been to Las Vegas. My dream Las Vegas vacation would be great hotel accommodations, superb food, and seeing great live entertainment! I would also like to do much sightseeing, and hopefully see Monticore, the beautiful white tiger and the other exotic animals, if possible. I do not gamble, but would love to meet some celebrities and see all the bright lights of Las Vegas!  Audrey Larson  Bloomington MN

 

After arriving at the airport via a first class flight, there would be a sports car waiting to pick me up. From there, I'd be whisked off to a luxury spa, where I'd be pampered with a massage, mud bath, body wrap, etc. Next, I'd go on a shopping spree.  Afterwards, I'd hit the strip and get my gamble on and see the various sights. I'd stay in a suite at the Mirage, with unlimited room service and other hotel amenities. After a quick change of attire, I'd have dinner the the finest restaurant within a five mile radius of my location, and afterwards, I'd check out the nightlife and hit a couple of clubs and bars. And that's only day one...  Tandrea Louis  Birmingham AL

 

To consider it a dream vacation in Vegas, I would have to take my mother...and then not want to kill her while we're there!  Barbara Fox  Oakboro NC

 

My dream vacation to Vegas would be First class tickets to the desert where we would enjoy 7 days and 6 nights at the fabulous Mandalay Bay or Mirage.....We would enjoy our hot evening out with a few hours of gambling (and winning!), then it would be followed up by a delicious dinner in one of the incredible restaurants on the strip. After dinner we would take in the Bellagio fountain show, then onto finish the night at Fremont Street with one of their unbeatable shows and a giant margarita. There is nothing like Vegas, it's like kids in a candy store!  Justine Pierson  Tumwater WA

 

Best LV trip- awesome days where you can go to Wet-n-Wild, pool or shopping- awesome nights with the best show tickets to see Barry, Wayne, legends- front row tickets. Now a room with a hot tub big enough for two and a soft bed so a nap really is a nap or fun is fun then the best casino in town.  Sandy Umber  Springdale AR

 

The perfect Las Vegas vacation would be for myself and my husband. I would like to renew our vows for our 25th anniversary at an Elvis chapel just for kicks, spend lots of time at the slots, take time to see the Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon, the Coke factory, the m&m's factory and spend lots of time alone with hubby in a fantastically expensive hotel room that has a swimming pool for a bathtub.  Corinne Knapp  Shawnee KS

 

My husband and I would love to take a dream vacation to Las Vegas this year to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. We would love to stay at the Bellagio and enjoy all of it's amenities. We would marvel at the fountains. It would be so romantic. We would also enjoy the Cirque de Soleil show "O". It's supposed to be THE show to see. We would like to see the Celine Dion show at Caesar's Palace. Walking up and down the strip and seeing all of the different hotels would be fabulous, especially at night with all of the lights. We would love to stop at each hotel as we walked along and go inside to explore what each one has to offer. Trying our luck at all the casinos would be a must, too. A hike in the desert at Red Rock Canyon would be a nice break from the non-stop activities on the strip. You would have to take some time to enjoy all the beauty located in the southwest. The mountains would be magnificent to see. A trip to Hoover Dam ! would be an adventure, too. After exploring the desert, it would be back to the strip. Shopping would be next on our list. Souvenirs, Souvenirs, Souvenirs!  Throughout the trip we would enjoy fabulous restaurants and great entertainment. I think a trip to a chapel to renew our vows would just top off the vacation. Just the two of us, away from our 3 kids and the stress of everyday life, staying in a luxurious hotel in Sin City with non-stop entertainment for us to enjoy would be a dream come true. What an escape from reality. A dream vacation that would allow us to renew our love for each other in a world of fun!  Karen Perez  Oswego IL

 

I imagine the typical dream is to win a million bucks, right? Or a couple of million. Hey -- nothing wrong with that. But what's money without love? So my dream would be to "do" Las Vegas with my sweetie Steve, who's never been there, and enjoy lots of fine dining there, which is what he loves, in a romantic hotel -- the Paris one, since I adore Paris and all things French. Okay: romantic hotel, fine dining, a day for pampering at a spa, after an invigorating workout in the fitness room. Oh, and of course a show -- I've been to Vegas but have never seen a Vegas show! Somewhere during this romantic dream vacation, Steve would ask me to marry him, to which my reply would be Yes. And then, the icing on the cake: winning a million bucks! That win would come AFTER the proposal so you know he's not in it for the money! (hey, do you think I'd imagine a dream vacation in Vegas without winning a million bucks? Get outta heah!)  Suzanne Thunder  Mount Juliet TN

 

My best Las Vegas vacation starts with our flight - my husband, 2 kids and I are upgraded free of charge to business class! When we arrive we are met at the airport by a friendly man holding a sign with our name on it. We are whisked into a limo, and brought to the Venetian hotel where we check into a Gorgeous suite! My mom meets us at the hotel, to help take care of our daughter. We have an amazing dinner, and visit some of the great Vegas hotels like the MGM Grand (see the lions), etc. The next day my husband and I renew our wedding vows - in a boat on a canal outside the Venetian. We have another amazing gourmet meal - and then some alone time! A little gambling - roulette, black jack, slots & video poker. We actually win some money - and go shopping at some of the best stores in the world (where of course I buy a gorgeous outfit). The next day we go to see Cirque Du Soleil with the whole family, and more great dining and shopping. Our vacation also includes lots of sightseeing - and time in the hot tub!  What an amazing trip that we will remember forever!  Kristen Fitzgerald  Stratford CT

 

My boyfriend proposed to me November 2005. We have been planning our wedding, but unfortunately have more love than money. We want to have a romantic small wedding in Vegas, then go out and take in everything we can from shows to buffets to casinos and clubs. It will be our vacation of a lifetime.  Kristina Coleman  Hazelwood  MO

 

I have been to Las Vegas before, and I think that it my favorite place in the world. I loved the dancing waters of the Bellagio and the beautiful Chihuly ceiling in the Bellagio lobby. I also loved seeing the eruption of the volcano outside the Mirage. The pirate ships in front of TI were another favorite. I also have to say that the people I met in Vegas were some of the nicest, friendliest people I've ever met in my life. And, anyone who's ever been there knows what I mean--Las Vegas has an energy all its' own--just walking down the Strip makes you feel so alive. There is no other place like it in the world!  Karen Smith  Syracuse NY

 

I want to fly to Vegas to see someone that I have known for months and never met. I want to know if finding love over the internet can really happen. If not I want us to party like the best friends that we could be instead....what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.  Emma Dixon  Eatonton GA

 

I should be a spokesperson for Las Vegas, I think its the most wonderful city in the world. I have been to Vegas 3 times and every time I step off the plane, its like a fairy tale. There is everything you could possibly imagine to see and to do there. I always have to go in the winter time because I cannot afford to go in the summer.  My dream would be to take my husband and 3 grown kids in the summertime, to see what it would be like, to swim in the pools, see Hoover dam and many of the surrounding areas I have never got to see, also I would love to see a show, I would like to have enough money to gamble with without taking my husbands Christmas bonus, just to come to Vegas. Its such a beautiful city and has so much to offer, I wished I had been able to go before I had gotten older, I probably would have made it my home, the people, the buildings, the whole atmosphere is breathtaking, nothing like anyone could ever imagine, a valley surrounded by gorgeous mountains, everyone should go there at least once in there lifetime to share and experience they will never forget. My Dream would be to have enough money to go and do and see everything that Las Vegas has to offer, and of course to have enough money to gamble for real instead of the penny and nickel machines that we have a very small budget on when we go!. I have traveled to a few places in my life but never a place that I am in awe about except Las Vegas, All I can really say about it is "wow" and everyone should go, see for yourself. sincerely Barbara Blanchard Monroe NC

 

My dream vacation would take place October 7 to 9, 2006. We would start off with a weekend stay in a suite at the Bellagio. We enjoy the Bellagio so much that we visit twice a year, just to see the displays in the Conservatory and the Chocolate Factory. One day of the weekend would include a champagne lunch and helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon during the day light and over Las Vegas at night. Then, on October 9th, we would re-new our vows at the Little Brown Church of the West, where we married 25 years ago. This time, I would wear the dress of my dreams and have some very dear people join us in this celebration. When we married in 1981, we continued our vacation onto attending a car race. This dream vacation would be a celebration of our life together rather an a race through life itself.  Susan McClure  Edmonton AB Canada

 

Hello, Winning Money Makes a Vegas Trip Fun!  Well, first I think wherever you come from, hire some to pack for you. Of course, hire a limo to the airport, fly first class, drank all you want on the plane. Once you arrive in Vegas make sure you have a limo waiting for you and stay at the nicest hotel. While here in Vegas, you need to stand on the sidewalk, oh right around Bally's hotel and Barbary Coast..... Watch People!   Now you had a fun trip to Vegas. (For the people that live in Vegas, you know exactly what I mean).  Susan Ray  Las Vegas NV

 

I would like to see 2 or 3 Circs while I am in Los Vegas. A massage would be nice and a few visits to the gym would make me happy. It would also add to my fun if I won at the slots. These are a few of my favorite things to do in Vegas.  Sylvia Belle  Pittsburgh PA

 

Las Vegas is such a magical town, it would be awesome to have a magical vacation. It would start with first class airfare to Vegas, where we were picked up by a limousine to go to our suite in the hotel. The hotel would be either Bellagio or Venetian. Once there, we would have access to a limo whenever we wanted to go down the strip or to anywhere else. I have seen Elton John in Vegas, and a show like this (maybe with good seats this time), would be awesome! To be able to eat in the finest restaurants would also be exciting. This is far different from the budget trip I would normally be able to take to Vegas - although those have been wonderful too. I love gambling, and would love to be able to sit down at a blackjack table or roulette and not worry that I am losing my family's savings. Winning is great, but being able to play without that concern would be worth a lot to me. The best part of the vacation would be sharing it with my wonderful husband. This would be my dream vacation, and I would bet some others would like to come too.  Linda Feldhouse  Middletown CT

 

I bought a $299 3 day to night trip which included 10 free pulls on a slot machine. I won a $500 on the pull, which paid for the whole trip.  Kathryn Scott  Collierville TN

 

Considering that we have never been West of the Mississippi River, this type of trip would be a very exciting one. The buildings and the way they are constructed with all the lights and glitter of the Casinos would be something to see.  To attend one of the big shows that the casinos have would be enough to last a lifetime. To dream the things that could happen and then to have it happen are in the end a lifetime of memories.  Larry Wedick  Nashua NH

 

My goal on planning a vacation is to make everyone happy. With my youngest being 6 years old, and the my parents in their 60's, it can be a challenge! I know everyone can get what they want in Las Vegas! All of our favorite things are waiting for us in Vegas. We all love to eat so we would get the variety we need at the Mandalay Bay Buffet. Buffets are where the men really get their money's worth!  Our favorite people are Elton John, Celine Dion, and Elvis. The shows and museums would be must-see attractions for us. My kids are into museums and music. Liberace Museum would include both of their favorite things. It's a bonus to include some educational activities on vacation. My kids want to be scientists and museums spark their creativity!  We would have to hit an aquatic park to experience a thrill together. My parents need an excuse to swim like a kid again and my kids like to show-off their swimming ability!
All the shows, water parks, and people would make treasured memories for the young and old in our group. Just picturing the photographs from the events in Las Vegas makes me realize the enormous power a Vegas vacation could instill on our lives!  Carrie Stenhjem  Fargo ND

 

All my life I hated the way I look. I was morbidly obese...and lived everyday trying to kill myself with food. In 99' I underwent a gastric bypass....it saved my life, my outlook, my self respect. I now weigh 158lbs at 5'8" and Love Living Life. I always hated when people would look at me and went out of my way to avoid being noticed. Now I want Everyone to look at me...even tho they don't know the hell I have been thru or what I had to do to get where I am.....I'm Here! I cant think of any better place to "strut my stuff" or "live life to the Fullest" than Las Vegas Baby!  I have always wanted to go there, but felt intimidated by the glamor, bright lights and "beautiful people". Now that I am One of Those People, I cant wait to go there and have my Dream Vacation! Bright Lights, Big City....Here I Come!  Laurie Penman  Genoa IL

 

My dream vacation to Vegas would be to fly first class, be met at the airport by a limo. Front door service to the expensive, like Bellagio, and have an entire wardrobe of elegant clothing, be able to sit at the tables and play for real money instead of playing the nickel slots. I would like to see the shows, eat at nice places instead of the cheap buffets, stuffing myself so I only had to eat one meal a day. Just once, I'd like to go to Vegas feeling like I really was somebody, rather than the need to escape, and pretend I actually had money.  Marjo Grimm  Rockford IA

 

Staying at a nice hotel, such as Paris, Paris or the Venetian and going to some of the shows eg. Celine Dion and Penn & Teller plus lots of shopping and having fun. I would like to fly to Vegas too (Airplane flight).  Cathy Harlan  Edmonton  AB Canada

 

My Vegas dream would be to go there with only $100.00 (thats all my wife would let me have) and win, at every game, everywhere I went, winning and winning and winning, till I was richer than Donald Trump. Then I could have my own reality show, called "I'm a real winner". Ya that would be great.  Philip Henderson  Fergus ON Canada

 

We would stay at one of the big new casinos-given 10k spending money-limo service-meals-spas-shows. We'd go shopping and party every night.  Chris Casper  Oconomowoc WI

 

The ultimate Vegas vacation to me would be to stay in a luxuries hotel on the strip and to go to many of the famous casinos that my Grandfather always talked about. Of course in my dreams I would win a million dollars! I would love just to walk down the strip and see all the beautiful lights and all the people walking around. It has always been a dream of mine to see the all the old casinos built when Vegas was first becoming a gambling town. I have heard many stories about Vegas from my Grandfather and my roommate who use to live there. It would be an amazing dream come true for me to be able to visit Las Vegas. I see all the advertisements on television about Vegas and I think of my Grandfather. He had a story that when he lived there he was engaged to the head of the mobs granddaughter, but was run out of town because he was caught cheating on her. But he also always told me how amazing Vegas really is. This would really be a dream come true!  Todd Bryson  Fenton MI

 

To gamble, gamble, gamble, baby!  Jacqueline Butorsky  Philadelphia PA

 

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!  Gary Standefer  Rogersville MO

 

My maximum Las Vegas dream vacation wouldn't require all that much. Airfare and a three day hotel stay for my wife and me, a few buffet or dinner tickets and a couple of shows. Throw in a little gambling money or we'll bring our own. That's it.  Don Schraier  Venice CA

 

My Vegas dream vacation would include free first class airfare for my husband and I to and from Las Vegas from the nearest airport. We would stay at the honeymoon sweet at the nicest, romantic, hotel for 6 nights and seven days. Our room would include a hot tub, lots of roses and decorated in red!  Our vacation would include a wedding package of our choice. Chocolate cake, and non-alcoholic beverages included. Lots of red and white roses!  I would also be entitled for a free shopping voucher for my husband and I to purchase shoes, my dream wedding gown and a tux, along with a carat diamond ring and a men's wedding band of our choice. We would renew our wedding vowels since we couldn't afford a wedding before.  I would want our vacation to be all inclusive with no cost to us! Lots of shopping and shows to watch. The vacation would be filled with lots of excitement! Site seeing, gambling, maybe swimming etc. Transportation would be included while we were their.  Wendy Matlock  Newton IA

 

Winning a trip to Las Vegas would be the best trip I could ever imagine!  First ,my husband and I would get to ride on an airplane ,which in all my 44 years and his 47 years, neither of us have ever done! This part alone sounds exciting enough. Second, going to Las Vegas--how great that would be. Getting to see those beautiful bright lights and to get to attend the shows, I can feel the greatness now. Wow!  Third, I am a huge Elvis fan and I would love more than anything to get to see where he once performed. So please consider my husband and myself for this trip. It would be one of the luckiest moments in my life! Thanks, Annette Anderson Gilmer TX

 

Never been and would like to take the family, my wife and my two girls (6 & 7).  Hubert Carver  Montgomery TX

 

My idea of a perfect dream trip to Vegas is rather simple.  I would like to move there permanently and enjoy the great city every day of my life.  Ginger Hodges  LA CA

 

My dream vacation would to stay in a great hotel on the strip go to dinner at the Bellagio see the Blue Man Group, see the latest headliner, eat at some buffets, take a helicopter ride over the strip in the evening and gamble!  Donna Coughlin  Wyomissing Hills PA

 

My ideal Las Vegas is one we did a few years ago. I love Video Poker and my husband does not gamble at all so we always have to find fun for both. It was the month of March and there was still snow around Mt Charleston. We had a lovely basket in our room with crackers, cheese, fruit and champagne. We loaded up the goodies from the basket and went up to a picnic area for a great lunch in the snow. There were other people there and we had snowball fights. It is so incredible to think that less than an hour from the strip you are in the snow!  That evening we had a wonderful gourmet dinner. Best of all after dinner I hit a royal flush on my favorite quarter video poker machine. This has been my true Vegas Dream Vacation Story. We will be there again this March. I'm holding good thoughts for a repeat.  Eleanor Jordan  Orange CA

 

My dream Las Vegas vacation would be any trip that didn't include kids!  I've been to Vegas several times but have always been accompanied by my kids or my sisters. I want to be able to stay out late on the strip and go to an adult show...anywhere but Circus, Circus for a change.  Lisa Johnson  Blounts Creek NC

 

I would gamble and drink beer.  April Lauzon  Malone NY

 

My dream Vegas vacation would be one that I had won. And to be able to go with my friends/family. I have never been. I want to walk around and see all of the lights and the action. Go to some shows, eat some good food and of course gamble. Not too much, but to have fun doing it, and come home either a winner or at least even. I want to take a ride out into the desert because I have never seen a desert, take some pictures and have some fun.  Gerri Vout  Niagara Falls ON Canada

 

Free flight to McCarran; be picked up by stretch limo; stay on 32nd (concierge floor) of Monte Carlo for a week; comped meals for every restaurant there/every meal; free transport anywhere in area; tickets to Avenue Q, Mama Mia, and headliners at Caesars and MGM; and $10,000 to play slots.  TL Norvell  Albuquerque NM

 

My ultimate trip to Vegas would be with my boyfriend. Staying in a beautiful hotel, playing slots and eating at the buffets late at night. Shopping. sightseeing, and a fabulous how! Running around the town, being in love, and having a blast! (Possibly even a proposal, and if we were crazy enough, eloping in the chapel of love!)  Sabrina Robideau  Minneapolis MN

 

My Vegas dream vacation would include getting my wedding vows renewed by an Elvis impersonator with my closest friends and family present. Then all of us would be whisked off in limousines to Caesars Palace for dinner at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill, after dinner we'd take in the Celine Dion show. After the show my sweetie and I would part from family and friends to take in a private limo ride down The Strip. We'd make a stop at The Stratosphere so that we could go up to the top while it was dark. Then our limo would take us back to The Hard Rock Hotel, where a banquet room would be reserved where all my family and friends could celebrate with us, do a champagne toast then go off and gamble or see the sights on their own.  Annette Burke  Magna UT

 

My husband has always wanted to go to Vegas as he loves to gamble, but unfortunately he is not all that great at it. So I keep making excuses why we can't go. My dream Vegas vacation would be one where he was given some money to gamble with and after it was all gone they wouldn't allow him to play anymore. The rest of our time could be spent enjoying the shows and restaurants. Connie Tucker  Grand Prairie TX

 

One word....... Shopping!  Heather Meadows  Mabelvale AR

 

Vegas is a place where anything is possible! My dream Vegas vacation consists of entering into the World Series of Poker and getting the opportunity to play against the Poker Greats. What would make this even better is if my husband and I were both able to win entries into this tournament by winning a satellite. Then, we could both experience playing poker with the professionals. Obviously, the greatest possible outcome would be if my husband and I found ourselves heads-up at the final table, and I won! We would celebrate our wins by going on a huge shopping spree and of course, playing more poker. We would put ourselves up in one of the luxurious suites and have the times of our lives!  Lena Macnab  The Dalles OR

 

Dreaming of gambling, winning and seeing shows. Leonard Ramminger Wakefield MI

 

My dream Las Vegas vacation would start with screams of happiness from my relatives that live there, as they receive my phone call informing them that we are on our way! We rarely get to see them since they have relocated out west. I have been to Las Vegas once in my life...and would love to re-experience the excitement all over again. I would imagine that each visit is like the first! We casino "hopped" the first time there, but didn't get to stay at a Vegas casino/hotel, so my dream would be to have a limo waiting for us at the airport to escort us to Any of the Grand hotels. They were all my favorites!  (A celebrity suite would be a "plus"!) The "slots" make my adrenal flow. What can be more exciting then hearing the clinging and clanging as the buckets nearly over-flow. My Vegas vacation would have to include tickets to one of the most exciting shows you can ever see, and a backstage pass would certainly be a fantastic ending to a perfect vacation. Once you've been to Vegas, you'll always want to come back!   Sue Reynolds  Yorktown VA

 

Stay at the Mandalay Bay, wake up each morning early for some mimosas and golf. Have lunch at the pools. Take a short nap after lunch, do same gambling and then party till all hours of the morning.  Brendan Fitzherbert  Bridgeport CT

 

I recently got married in Chicago. My ideal wedding wish was to be married in Las Vegas by an Elvis impersonator. My husband however wanted a traditional wedding. I would love to have a Las Vegas wedding. Something where just the two of us exchange vows in a fun and romantic environment. It would be nice to stay at the new Wynn resort, to have unlimited spa treatments and time to golf. And of course, time to hit the tables and slot machines. My husband has only been to Vegas once (for the Superbowl weekend). I would love to take him around to see the sights and to take in a few shows.  Holly Sleigher  Bolingbrook IL

 

We visit Tunica Mississippi quite often. It is the only gambling experience we have. We (my husband and myself) would Love to experience Vegas. We never were able to take a honeymoon, so my dream Vegas vacation would include me and my husband No Kids and just enjoying everything Vegas has to offer!  Kim Norwood  Covington TN

 

A Lamborghini picks me up from the airport and takes me straight down the strip. Pit stop at a few casinos for some Texas Holdem, then take my winnings and go to the comped VIP room. Next its off to the Spa for some R&R. Finish off with a buffet fit for a king, then its time for some nightlife!  Caleb Morgan  Edina MN

 

My Vegas Dream Vacation would be ideal to celebrate our 23rd Anniversary. We never had a honeymoon and have wanted to visit Las Vegas. I would love to walk down the main strip that is featured in all the different TV programs and movies. I confess I would love to gamble there and have heard my friends talk about how much fun they had gambling there. My husband would just love to see the different sites there. I'm also interested in all the various shows, particularly the Hawaiian shows. I'm a die hard hula dancer and my father performed in a Hawaiian show at the Dunes way back when, in fact, that is where he met my mother who was a hula dancer in a floor show. So, a trip to Vegas would be many, many things to me and my husband.  Nellie Torres  Grayson GA

 

Every day with my new wife is a dream by itself. I like to show her all the entertainment that can be done only in this great city. My trip would include her and I driving from the airport in a new car with a formal greeting by the staff when we arrive, of course for her she must have Roses and my gift would be at her table for are dinner for two. When we enjoy the local house club , the singer would know our favorite song and call us by name in front of a happy group. When the night goes on I would ask her to be my wife again and every one would know because it would be a note on ever door telling them the event and how they are part of it.  Robert Wise  Lemon Grove

 

A weekend trip with my husband to celebrate our 10th anniversary!  Pattie Ochoa  Oceanside CA

 

I would stay in the best suite at Bally's Paris, eat at all the Celeb Chef restaurants, and see all the biggest shows. Of course I'd have a huge bankroll to bet with. I'd take my family and several friends and my boyfriend, Brad Pitt (It's a dream. Right!!) We'd get married by Elvis in one of the little wedding chapels. That's after my girls and I have a bachelorette party with the Chippendale dancers. Then they'd make me Queen of Las Vegas with a multimillion dollar salary.  Lisa Kocher  Rocky Face GA

 

Never been to Vegas!  Mark Bernier  Saint Petersburg FL

 

I would like to win because I am turning 21 this year and my boyfriend has just turned 21 and we are saving up now for when we go in September and winning this would help us out a lot considering we don't have very much money.  Leanne Wells  Camarillo CA

 

I Love Vegas!  We haven't had a vacation for 4 years and we are in need of one drastically!  My husband just had a hip replacement and he needs to get away from his problems and his work and just enjoy himself!  The last vacation was in Vegas but because I got sick with the flu, my husband didn't get to visit his favorite place, the Star Wars exhibit. So I am hoping he will get to go back so he can spend unlimited time at that exhibit. My husband gives to everyone else and never asks for anything for himself. So please, please give him this vacation so he can have some fun for himself. He deserves it!  Vicki Bolander  Newark OH

 

Plain and simple. just walk around the hotels and casinos. eat at the great restaurants, and visit with my friend who lives there.  Jenn Gersch  Langhorne PA

 

My dream Las Vegas vacation would start with a relaxing flight over the wondrous mountains of Nevada. Upon landing at the airport, I would hear the welcoming noises of the clinging slots and people cheering their winnings. At that point, the mood would be set for noting but fun, fun, fun. I would grab my luggage, look for the man holding the sign with my name, enter the stretch limo that awaits me and head for the strip. Upon my arrival, I would be welcomed by the brilliant neon lights and the glitter of famous casinos known by all. I would begin to fantasize about jackpots, shows, concerts, great food and all the fun and exciting entertainment Las Vegas has to offer. I would be spoiled with a luxurious suit with my own private Jacuzzi, messages at world class spas and feel like a star in the town where you can't help but feel like your famous. I would dress the part, hit the bars, play the tables and forget all my troubles back home. I would end my trip by cashing in all my winnings, jumping back in the beautiful limo where it all started and return back to the airport. After checking in, I would await my departure by absorbing the last moments of Las Vegas and its offerings. I would get my last pull of the wheel and embrace the experience. After the announcement for my departure, I would be thrilled to hear that I have been upgraded to first class. What a wonderful finish to a Vegas Dream Vacation. As the plain takes off, I can only peer out the window, recording each neon light to memory. And treasuring the best Vegas Dream Vacation one could ask for.  Anna Buresh  Hale MI

 

My husband and I NEVER get time alone - we love to dance and eat at gourmet restaurants - my perfect LV vacation would include a luxury room, a dance floor, and several terrific dinners - and also a tour of the Great shopping areas with a $1,000 to blow - also a few hundred for the slots and money to put on the Nascar race!  Carol Drury  Leonardtown MD

 

I am US Marine currently stationed with a Helo unit in the Mojave Desert. We just returned from Iraq this past October and I am in Dire need of a Dream Trip! My Vegas Dream Trip would be to spend a few nights at the Bellagio with my Mom (who deserves everything special in this world!) in a Suite overlooking the Fountain and the Strip. Also, our own limo that would take us wherever we wanted to go. Let's see... Food, aahhh we would be seated at the VIP tables in the most exclusive restaurants, not to mention VIP passes to the most exclusive clubs!! In my dream, my expenses would be all inclusive and I would actually feel like a Princess, instead of a Female Marine who has to wear Camouflage everyday and no makeup. It would be nice to have a day at the Spa where we could get massages, our hair and makeup done and be treated like celebrities! I have never been to a Vegas show so of course we would want to hit up the most popular ones that will be going on during our stay. On a different note, let me tell you a drunk driver killed my Father when I was 8 years old and my Mother single handedly took care of my 3 brothers and me. She deserves more than I could ever give her, so it's my dream to give her this trip. Wow, just writing this story made me actually believe that dreams can come true.  Sandra Lunn  Rosamond CA

 

I would love to surprise my husband this year for his 40th birthday. We love Las Vegas for it's great hotels, shows, weather, restaurants and of course the opportunity to gamble a bit. The ideal trip would be to spend a few days together (leave the 2 year old home with her aunt and uncle) at the Bellagio (we have been to Las Vegas before but have always wanted to stay in a suite at the Bellagio). During the day sit by the pool and drink a few pina coladas and in the evenings dine at the Eiffel tower restaurant, Michael Mina in the Bellagio and Emeril's Delmonico in the Venetian. See Danny Gans at the Mirage and a Cirque du Soleil show as well. Lastly, hopefully win while gambling a little. Then, back to reality at home but have great memories of a fabulous trip to an exciting city!  M K  NY

 

I love Jesus and I would go visit my pastor friends out there.  Lisa Moreno  Livermore CA

 

I would like to go with my girlfriends for three days and sow my wild oats and then have my boyfriend fly in and we get married by Elvis. not that I am a big Elvis fan, but I'm sure it would be funny.  Deborah Maguire  Independence MO

 

To stay in a nice hotel spa packages for two a nice dinner and a show and 500 spending money!  Keli Gatlin  San Francisco CA

 

My dream vacation would be a romantic getaway in one of the hotels with a spa. Visit a few relatives that live in the area, get lucky and win some money to save for retirement. Then go home relaxed before my kids terrorize me again, I mean before I see my little angels again.  Tanya Boyce  Sparta MI

 

I really want to go to Vegas! I love Vegas!  Jody Jeanette  Sun City AZ

 

A Vegas Dream vacation would consist of eating, sleeping, dreaming, playing the slots, and Winning in the most Magical place on earth - Las Vegas.  Hedy Pawluk  Winnipeg MB Canada

 

In June my oldest daughter turns 21 and my youngest daughter graduates from High School. We are hoping to celebrate these milestones by taking a family trip to Las Vegas. I haven't been there since I was a kid so I am anxious to see how it has changed. I loved the old school flair of Vegas...the lights, the lavish hotels, cheap buffets and laying poolside in the desert heat. Today my Las Vegas dream vacation would be all that plus some gambling with my husband, shopping with my girls and sight seeing as a family!  Brenda Ortiz  Tracy CA

 

My Vegas dream story would have to be go back to Vegas and renew our wedding vows, in a much more fancy, bling bling kinda way...Dress and all. See some shows that we didn't, and stay longer than the 3 days we had before. Just Live it up Vegas style.  Amber Utpatel  Michigan City IN

 

My dream Vegas Vacation is being greeted at the airport by a limo and taken to the Bellagio Hotel with my Husband. Have the honeymoon sweet so we could celebrate our wonderful 27 and still going marriage together. Enjoying all the sights and sounds that the city of Las Vegas has to offer. Eat, drink and gamble at as many wonderful hotels Vegas has to offer. It would be grand to be able to buy something in the stores of the finest hotels that the rich and famous buy from. Rent a limousine to take us around town so we wouldn't have to worry about parking. This would be the most wonderful Vegas vacation my husband and I could possibly have since our children are now all out of the house and we are finally able to go away on our own. Thank you for this opportunity to dream big!  Sharon Wolfgang  Gaithersburg MD

 

I'd like to see Bellagio, Joey Arias, Elton John and the strange inflatable fruits and vegetables. I'd like to be impressed and also laugh at some of the tacky excess. I'd like to have a memorable fun exciting time. Bob Keck  Covington KY

 

I've been a semi-professional drummer for years, and have always loved Motown. Upon arrival at my hotel, I receive backstage passes to see Etta James. Upon meeting with her before the show, she explains that she arranged for the passes because she will be needing a sub drummer for the next six months, and would I be interested. Of course, I say yes, and spend the next six months playing with her for appreciative audiences, not to mention large sums of money. I pay off all of my student loan debts (finally feeling that my music degree has come to some use) and return home happy and financially solvent.  Kim Risburg  Nashville TN

 

My dream vacation to Las Vegas would be to fly there for free. Then, stay at the best room with a hot tub preferably at the Luxor Hotel. It would be wonderful to have my husband and I have a vacation that we both desperately need since we don't have a lot of money for such luxury. We could see a lot of wonderful shows, and see all the sights. I would also love for both of us to win really big so we could bring to our friends how well we did in Vegas. I would tell them about the fantastic buffets that I've always heard about that are simply delicious with everything you could possibly want. This would be, as simple as I can put it, a trip for me and my husband to have some time together without worrying about money. Thank you! Jo Ellen Kopet  Maple Lake MN

 

Get away from all the pressure of life and have some fun.  Angelo Lardiere  Livingston New Jersey

 

My Vegas dream vacation consists of my husband, brother and fiancee spending time on the Vegas strip. Seeing at least one show and spending time at the mall. A month would not be long enough to spend in that wonderful town. Some people leave their heart in San Francisco but mine always stays in Vegas. I would hope to win enough at the casinos to rent a car and start looking for a house to buy. Moving from Minnesota to Las Vegas is something I wanted to do since the early 80's. II don't need to put a lot of words to describe my love for the town and all the different faces...just thinking about Las Vegas makes my face shine. My brother has never been there so to be able to take my husband, brother and his fiancee - even for a weekend would be a dream come true and who knows maybe I'll stay in the town I love....  Sandra Laskey  Mound MN

 

I have a vision of walking from casino to casino grazing on one buffet to the next and having unlimited betting money!  Joni Chadwell  Erie PA

 

I would like to stay at a hotel on the strip, of course gamble, see a good show or a great sports event, go golfing, and eat at the best restaurants, go to some great clubs, and see some of the great shows Las Vegas has to offer like Circus De Soleil or Blue Man Group.  Michael Hyneman  Wyomissing PA

 

I would go to Vegas and win enough to never have to work again, so that I could stay home and raise as many children as God will give me and my husband!  Susan Smoaks  Quincy FL

 

I would win big in Vegas so I wouldn't have to work another 15 hour day ever again!  Tony Smoaks  Quincy FL

 

Winning this would be my dream vacation, because I've never been to Vegas, and haven't even been on a vacation in over 30 years.  Linda Iverson  Hoffman Estates IL

 

I want to fly to Vegas with a very special friend, eat wonderful food, see marvelous shows, and gamble away - maybe even win - too much money. And I want to watch the sun go down in the desert, just to see the stars.  Beverley Mooren  Shelby NC

 

I think that the dream trip to Las Vegas would be my fiance and I would fly in and be picked up at the airport by a limo. From there we will be wisped of to the Bellagio or MGM Grand where we would check into our honeymoon suite. We would then go to one of the wedding chapels that are there and get married by Elvis or someone crazy like that with Presila as a witness. Then back to the hotel to enjoy the rest of the trip as man and wife. We would go to shows, gamble, and just see all there is to see. That would be a dream trip to Vegas with my dream man. Kelly Johnson  Overland Park KS

 

The Best Vegas Dream Vacation would be to Win this contest. The Dream (and it is a dream since we have never been to Vegas) Vacation would be a Fist Class Dream. Starting off by being picked up by limo from the airport and taken to a luxury hotel on the strip. The Dream will have to be in color, so we can enjoy all the lights and glitter of the hotels, clubs, and casinos. And the Dream will have to be in stereo, so we can enjoy the shows and nightclubs and all the bells and whistles when we win at the slots. And of course the Dream will have to have aroma, so we can smell the delicious aromas of all the fabulous food and drinks that will be awaiting us. While we're at it the Dream will have to have an unbelievable World Wonder Flair like a canyon or a dam. And of course the Dream would have to a expense account so we can do some shopping and of course purchase souvenirs to give all the non-believers who told us that the Las Vegas Dream Vacation was only a Dream. But oh, what a Dream it would be.  Phyllis Knobbe  West Point NE

 

Just plain and simple. I've been going to Las Vegas ever since I can remember.  Even back when my parents took me growing up we always drove our car through the desert on interstate 15 north. To fly oh yeah to just fly one day would be great!  thanks.  Angelo Diliberto  San Dimas CA

 

Ever wonder why midwesterners, especially people from Minnesota, go to Vegas more than any other state? The reason is simple and the reason I love Las Vegas. The bright lights, the people, the glamour, the clothes, the friendliness on the Strip asking "where are you from". Yet you walk off the strip and you are in another world full of the beauty of the mountains, the strength you see in them and even maybe a little snow on top. Then you drive less than an hour and you reached the solitude of the desert, it's hot, it's flat and yet it holds it's own beauty and mystique. Then you go to Downtown Vegas and it holds the memories of years gone by, of gangsters and old movies with singers of long ago. Las Vegas is for the young and for the old, for the new and the not so new. For years gone by and for years ahead. When you leave Las Vegas ..its the memories you take with you that last and last and last.  Sandra Laskey  Mound MN

 

My dream Las Vegas vacation would have several elements to them. First off, I would love to stay in a huge suite looking over the strip so I can see the beautiful lights at night in a hot tub with my wonderful husband. We would have room service and a baby sitter for our children.  I do however want to bring my children, because I would like to take them to see the aquarium at Mandalay Bay and see the tiger and Dolphins at the Mirage. Secondly, my husband and I were married at the court house, so I would like to throw a nice wedding and wedding reception complete with Elvis and a few showgirls (for my husband). While in the gaming area, I would like to have a personal couching session with Phil Gordon so I can win in a poker tournament, preferably the WSOP or another top tournament. It would also be cool to see Billy Joel or Weird Al in concert (also for my husband) while there. And for my kids, I would like to take them to see The Wiggles or watch a circus at Thomas and Mack. Since I know Whoopi Goldberg has residency in Vegas, so a dinner with her would be nice. And maybe a day at Lake Mead feeding the fish and sailing would be fun.  Theresa Bertram  Morrilton AR

 

My dream vacation in Las Vegas (seeing as how I've never been there) would have to begin with a beautiful suite with a panoramic view of the surrounding area. We would take in a couple of shows, ie. Blue Man group or maybe a concert provided by Bon Jovi, Celine Dion. We would have breakfast on veranda overlooking a luxurious pool and exquisite dinners by candlelight. Of course, we would have to try at luck at the tables...I've only played a few slots in my life while we lived in Denver. Would love to sit down and play with the big boys just once. And of course, there must be a lot more to Vegas than just the casinos, so we would check out the cultural aspects of the city and region. And let me not forget...a little shopping at some of the great casino boutiques to round out a "perfect" vacation. But then, who am I kidding? Only in my dreams...right?  Marie Noguerole Portland OR

 

I was in Vegas last may on business (with the Varian co.) so I didn't really get to experience the "Vegas" trip. I did take my husband along but things didn't go as planned. He didn't pick me up on my 1st day of training at the Varian co. For lunch and I assumed he was already having fun without me. We had tickets to a show and didn't use them because I was so mad at him (and we couldn't afford to buy them in the 1st place). We never fight but we both wanted to have a good Vegas experience so the pressure for that to happen was there. So, I would truly appreciate a true Vegas vacation...you know the kind where we would have to come back and tell our friends..."what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". I am jealous of the commercials that say that. Please let us win and do a great Vegas trip. Thanks so much, Cyndi Dickens  Freeport FL

 

I would love to fly first class to Las Vegas. I'd liked to be picked up by limousine and taken to my four star hotel. I would have to have a suite, of course. I'd have a gourmet dinner. Then, I'd be taken to a show to see Wayne Newton. After the show, I'd like to gamble a little. Then, I'd like to be brought back to my hotel by limousine. The following day, I'd be chauffeured around by the limousine driver who shows me all the highlights of Las Vegas. I would spend the night quietly at my hotel, enjoying what that spot has to offer. The next day, I would be taken back to the airport by limousine, of course. I'd fly home first class again. To be treated in such a way I'd have had the best time of my life. I would feel like royalty, and I'd truly forget about all my cares!  Vicki Dahlstrom  Saint Paul MN

 

My Dream Vacation to Vegas would be to arrive and be a guest at all that there is. Oh I would be so happy to see it all. The Bellagio, the Lights at night, the fabulous site of the Paris and the Aladdin. I can only dream of getting to see a show any show and to eat a famous Westward Ho hotdog!! I want to go so bad I know I will never get to though as I am on disability and will never be able to afford it.  Joyce Miller  Wichita KS

 

My Vegas Dream Vacation would be to stay somewhere really nice like the Bellagio in a suite. I would play slots all day and night, stopping only to eat at some of the wonderful buffets and to sleep a little bit. I also would really like to see a show or two, don't even care too much which ones as long as they are big and fun.  Stephanie Bozarth  Auburn WA

 

My dream Las Vegas vacation would start with a first class plane ride and lots of champagne. My husband and I would be picked up at the airport and whisked away to the Mandalay Bay where a suite would be waiting. After a night of bubbles and romance, we would awaken to the sun and take a sunrise hot air balloon ride. Other highlights of the trip would include a gondola ride at the Venetian, a visit to a Celine Dion concert, and thrill ride on the Stratosphere. My husband would, of course, spend at least one day at the NASCAR exhibit and mock speedway while I contributed to Vegas' economy by shopping. We would also try our luck in the casinos, eat at fabulous restaurants, and try out every available spa.  Norma Thompson  Ketchikan AK

 

Since I've never been to Las Vegas before I think it would be cool to go to dinner and to a Wayne Newton or Tom Jones show. It just seems like a cool thing to do. You know that always show them on TV and make fun of them but I bet the shows are pretty neat. It would also be nice to go of the hotels and just relax and order room service.  Rita Scarborough  Barrington NJ

 

Upon arrival, my wife and I are whisked away from the airport in a private limousine. After a ride to the Venetian, we would be welcomed with the utmost attention befitting our reservation! My wife and I would freshen up in our Venezia Concierge Palazzo suite and head out for some food and drinks at the Hurricane Bar and Grill. After dinner, we would head back to the Venetian, take a gondola ride and then head up to our suite to relax and spend some quality time together the rest of the evening. The following day, it's time for some alone time for both my wife and I. The concierge calls me and informs me that my Escalade SUV limousine has arrived to take me out on my excursion. The driver takes me south out of Las Vegas to the Cascata golf course. I have a tee time all to myself to enjoy the tranquility of the course. No golfers in front of me to slow me down and no groups rushing me from behind. Peace, quiet, a few cold beers, and my golf clubs. After my round I head to the tobacco shop and enjoy a cigar before heading back to the Venetian.  When I return, my wife tells me about her wonderful day spent at the Spa Vita di Lago at The Ritz-Carlton. We head out for a night out on the town starting with dinner at Chinois. Following dinner, we take in the comedy show Marriage can be Murder and then go get our groove on at Studio 54. We head back to the Venetian and sleep in the following day. Our last day, we head down to the strip and downtown to do some gambling and people watching. The following day, we leave with great memories!  Troy Richardson  San Antonio TX

 

My plane touches down to a beautiful sunrise over the distant mountains. The sun is warm and the sky is clear. The Limo is waiting to take me to the Main Street Station. As I walk through the bronze doors, I'm greeted by the shimmering chandeliers and wonderful antiques, which give it's "feel" of home. I'm welcomed by the dealer and casino host as I sit down to my favorite Blackjack Table. I'll waste no time and get started with what I came here to do ... play blackjack! Soon the waitress comes by and I order a Black Chip Porter - my favorite beer from the Triple Seven Brewery. Luck is on my side and I enjoy a great day at the tables. I win more than I loose and the pleasant conversation with the staff and other players make the day very enjoyable. It's time for a bite to eat, however, so I reluctantly step away from the table and find my way to the Brewery for a late lunch, while catching up on the latest sports scores. After eating, I head up to my room and gaze out the window toward the downtown casinos. Dusk is beginning to settle in the valley and the downtown area is beginning to buzz. I'll freshen up and then begin to wander down Fremont Street, stopping at a few of my favorite establishments and enjoying the show overhead. Excitement is evident in the downtown area - that is why it's my favorite! Soon, I'll return to my Victorian starting point and enjoy some more Porter while resuming my Blackjack play there. Hopefully, Lady Luck is still with me and when I retire, my pockets will be heavier. Tomorrow is another day. Win or loose, it's the excitement of downtown that always brings me back!  Christopher Hammond  Findlay OH
