Hello my name is Johanna and I have been dreaming of visiting las vegas for about three years. I hear is is very lively and wonderful to visit. I have been working and playing mom for a while and I wish but nothing to be able to win this trip. I need a vacation and want nothing more than it to be the wonderful las vegas it is made out to be. Hope to be a winner thank you very much. Johanna Perez  Tampa FL

 

Would be to take my wife to someplace she has always wanted to go but could never find the time or money. Just because she deserves it for all the love and caring she gives me and the rest of our family.  Howard Fryer  Whitby ON Canada

 

My husband and I work hard, have 2 children in college and one in diapers. We would very much like to escape to Vegas for a few days. That's all.  Sue Ream  Westfield IN

 

I would love to take my best friend to Las Vegas because every time I go back to visit her she takes me gambling to the reservation. If she wins she splits with me even though I have no money. I am on disability. She has been a very good friend I would love to take her and have money for her to gamble.   Sheila Peterson  Blountville TN

 

Lots of great travel by comfortable ship, plane or train. Luxury accommodations and fantastic gourmet food. A variety of cultural events and activities to keep me busy. The past, present and future all in one!  Steven Moran  Framignahm MA

 

I would like to take my future husband to Vegas to get married. He has been a pool man for 25 years and has never been anywhere except here in Naples working. He deserves some fun and love in a lively exciting place. I hope to win this for him! Thank you.  Elizabeth Schemmer  Naples FL

 

Nothing is more beautiful than sharing the beautiful scenery of Las Vegas with your true love. Taking in the magnificent views of such beauty only God could have created. Visit Paris, The Orient, New York, New Orleans, and the desert all in a day!  Riding in a helicopter drinking champagne then spontaneously deciding to get married. A wedding at midnight and a limo back to your hotel where you can lose all your money until dawn. You start to wonder whether it's called Lost Wages or Las Vegas. Either way, it was all a dream come true and I wouldn't change a thing.  Morgan Vaughn  Kingwood  TX

 

I would dedicate a Las Vegas dream vacation to my husband who is a very dedicated father and husband. He is trying to get us to Vegas next week. Already we've enjoyed the thought of our family enjoying the luxurious pools, attending a show, testing our luck at gambling, enjoying the variety of shows, the magnificent hotels and all they have to offer, such as the lights, the themes, the restaurants, there is so much in Vegas to do. Vegas is not just for "gambling", in fact there is much for the families in vegas, for the single, for the couples or even groups. You just can't go wrong in Vegas, there's something for everyone. If you enjoy the heat...You've got it, if the heat is too much, there are plenty of air conditioners, there are plenty of accommodations for everyone at any age, that's what makes it a "dream vacation", there is so much much to do, so much to see and what a great way to relax and really enjoy "getting away". My husband and kids all agree that this is a "dream vacation" and we would love the opportunity to see the dream become reality!  D W

 

My dream Las Vegas Vacation would be during the PBR Finals. Attending every event and meeting the Bull Riders would be a dream come true. When at the Finals I would have plenty of money to gamble and stay First Class!
There is no better place to enjoy bull riding than Las Vegas because I can gamble between events and even bet on who I think will win!  Kathy Johnsen   Pisgah  IA

 

We have been to Vegas several times & enjoyed each. There is so much to see & do in the area one could visit many times & still not see it all. My dream would be to stay at one of the 5 star casino resorts in the penthouse suite. While there I'd take a side trip to the Grand Canyon & take in the Vegas scene via a helicopter tour. We have seen the Celine show but would probably see it again. There are so many exquisite restaurants, it would be hard to decide which to try.  Edward Schulz  Urbana OH

 

I have always wanted to have a vacation in Vegas. There is so much I would love to see out there. My husband who is in Iraq right now, has been there and tells me how beautiful it is. I would love to win a romantic dream vacation for him and I when he returns home. I know he would love it as much as I would.  Jeannie Vice  Mattoon IL

 

My husband is sick, has had a liver transplant in 01 and now needs his colon removed. My dream vacation would be to take him to a sun drenched resort with a pool that has a waterfall and scenic landscaping for him to enjoy. Poolside wait staff with tropical drinks for me and a lazy pace of enjoyment at night. I would love a hotel that could treat us like VIP's and take care of everything so we can relaxxxx. (We need a vacation from our world and I have never been to vegas).  Lorene Pesole  Downers Grove IL

 

My best Vegas vacation would be to fly down with my fiance to surprise him with a wedding! After the ceremony, we would take a helicopter ride over the strip at dusk to see the lights. We would then dine at the best prime rib restaurant in Vegas. Our evening would end in our hotel room with a beautiful view of Las Vegas as we lay in bed.  Brenda Forsyth Snow Lake MB Canada

 

How would I spend my time on a Vegas vacation? In first class casino including an Elvis museum with a hot tub. Then cool off at a water park and tan on a roller coaster. What do I do if I get hungry, fry an egg on the sidewalk then add ice to the pool while drinking a colorful drink My babe is totally into playing Bingo and playing the slots.  A city of magic, fireworks, fine art and divas. The hotel with an enormous pools, waterfalls and wave machines. Beautiful people in fancy clothes driving hot cars on a 24 hour fun run. Enjoying the great views from helicopter rides, bungee jumping past neon lights looking at marvels of imagination.  No trip would be complete without Wayne Newton or Extreme sport video game conventions and competitions brings everyone together to get married at the airport chapel then drive to the honeymoon suite on the top of the desert strip and look at the horizon feeling like a star. Life can be better in Vegas.  Jason Kingston, Chilliwack BC Canada

 

The best Las Vegas vacation imaginable would start with a limousine ride from the airport to one of the fanciest hotels in Vegas...The Bellagio. Staying in one of the nicest suites they have and dining at the "most romantic steakhouse on earth" The Prime Steakhouse restaurant. Taking a helicopter ride to see the magnificent Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam with a champagne picnic. Going to see Elton John and the Red Piano show with front row seats! Sitting by the pool and relaxing with a cool drink soaking up the fabulous Las Vegas sun. One can only dream!  Valerie Kingelin  Kelowna BC  Canada

 

I currently am working 3 jobs to get by in life. A dream vacation in Las Vegas would be simply to spend uninterrupted time with my boyfriend of 2 years. It would be amazing to be able to take in some shows, eat some good meals, and simply lounge by the pool with the person I care about most in this world. It doesn't necessarily need to be the fanciest of accommodations, or the highest end shows but just to be able to spend time with someone in a world far from reality and the worries of regular everyday living.  Emily Kuphal  Pewaukee WI

 

I would adore coming back home to Las Vegas. my last visit was in an amazing suite at Paris hotel and myself and a friend met up there at the Las Vegas airport. it was a blind date. we were pretty compatible and I enjoyed it very much, though I have not heard in a long time from him lol who needs him! Haha. My good friend Christine moved there recently with her husband and child and I would love to go so that I can see the new hotels, it has been a few yrs. back and to see my good friend as well. I live in Atlanta, the home airport and though I am not much of a Gambler there are so many fun attractions in Vegas, and I have seen them all including the O, and Sigfield and Roy in the past and the many outside of the strip ventures and venues. The shows are amazing and I love the Mandalay bay, MGM, Mirage, Treasure Island and Bellagio...love that musical water going up and down all of the time! The dam nearby is fabulous and it would be simply paradise to come back again. The airport is Fab love the slot machines, Only in Vegas, and I know, my secrets Stay Only in Vegas, shrh hum we won't tell if I meet a new man or friend on the Plane or in one of the airports on the Way...Only in vegas, the shows, me and my friends, how cool can it getI  belong in Vegas where anything goes, and all is a big secret!  Phyllis Chambers  Lilburn GA

 

My dream vacation would include two night stays in four different locations: north strip, central strip, southern strip and downtown, which would allow my wife and I to experience the "culture" of all four regions. Of course, we would gamble...it's Vegas, baby! My wife would also have the opportunity to shop and window shop. Given our locations, we'd get to see a different show each night, and hopefully, Elton John's Red Piano would be one of those shows. 
Certainly, hitting a major jackpot would help make the experience complete...and it should be on the first day so we can recycle the money back into the casino coffers over the rest of our stay. Although we wouldn't be "whales," we'd certainly enjoy being treated like high rollers.  To make our trip even more enjoyable, we'd be accompanied by four of our friends, allowing us to share part of the fun, but also allowing all of us to "do our own thing" during part of the trip. Ideally, we'll get the chance to do the Fremont Street experience as well as explore the Strip. We would return home as ambassadors for Vegas!  Robert Gould  Lebanon IN

 

I'd wake up early my first day and watch the sunrise on the mountains. I'd spend the day exploring Red Rock Canyon. Dinner that night would be prime rib followed by a limo ride down the strip. I'd get up the next day and check out the King Tut, Natural History and Neon museums. I'd go out and enjoy the Fremont Street experience (lights, shopping, eating.)  The next day I'd pamper myself -- manicure, pedicure, massage, and maybe even a facial. I'd go check out the outlet malls and Ethel M Chocolate Factory in search of chocolate orange jelly (or suitable replacement.)  I'd catch a "Vegas" show or two, stroll through some of the 'themed' casinos, and, of course, gamble. I'd enjoy the food (especially the prime rib), the wonders of the desert (i think you can really see ten miles), and the break from my 'normal' life.  Diane Lang  Byron  GA

 

I have wanted to go to Las Vegas since I was nine and my parents left me at an aunt's house so they could enjoy their own dream vacation to Vegas. My dream vacation would include taking my parents with me to Las Vegas where we could enjoy playing the slots together. I would especially like to visit Circus Circus where my mom had purchased me a stuff giraffe that I later (stupidly) sold at a garage sale and have missed dearly since. I would also take my boyfriend on the trip in order to enjoy the wilder side of vegas. I would love to see the restaurants and nightclubs that until now have only been accessible through television. It's hard to decide what else to write because the actuality of such a trip occurring is so remote, and there is so much I want to see in Las Vegas. The strip for the lights, the casinos for the energy of people winning, the stores for all the things I could buy. My dream trip would involve visiting all of the above and oh the shows I would see!  To have my trip pre-planned (so I could see Everything) and pre-paid (so I could gamble like a mad woman) would be the ultimate vacation in Las Vegas!  Jennifer Rogers  Scarborough ON Canada

 

Wow! A Vegas vacation is a dream in itself! As most would agree the ideal trip would be hitting the progressive Wheel of Fortune and never having to work again. But...in reality a great trip for me would be to spend a week or so at the Riviera (my favorite place) with my husband, having dinner at the Range Steakhouse, a VIP spa treatment, seeing Elton John perform and winning enough to pay off our debts! I would love just one time to have enough money to give those $100 slot machines a try too!   T McFerin  Pataskala OH

 

I could really use a vacation. I am a victim advocate for the district attorney's office. Everyday I hear and see sadness, anger, depression, loss, etc.. I could really use to get away, but cannot afford to do so. I would love to go to Las Vegas. I have never been there and here all kinds of stories. People never sleep there, go see the shows, do some gambling, and not think of the sadness and terror that affects peoples lives all of the time. I would like to fly into Vegas and have a nice ride waiting to take me to my hotel room. I will enjoy my relaxing hotel. This hotel must have a pool I can swim in for the hot days. I would love to be able to go downstairs and gamble in a nice cool environment and be able to order drinks while I am gambling. I would love to see quite a few shows while I am there. I hear Vegas has the most spectacular shows on earth. I would love to see the Blue Men, show girls, and many more shows. I really believe I could use a vegas vacation. There is so much to do in vegas, I would forget, for a time being, about the stresses and sadness at my work. I really appreciate you considering me for your vacation.  Amanda Oldfield  Las Cruces NM

 

My Las Vegas dream vacation would consist of staying at a 4 star hotel, have meals paid for, and of course some spending money. It would be a real dream to win at the casino and have enough money to last me for a long time. I would also like to go out shopping and site seeing. I would like to bring my friends and family members with me to share in my dream vacation. Air fair and accommodations would be paid for for everybody.  Colleen Visco  Sicklerville  NJ

 

My wife and I have been married for 17 years, have been together for 20 years, and have 3 wonderful children. All this time together and we have not had a honeymoon. I have tried to save up enough to take her on a romantic getaway, but as you may know, the children come 1st. Our kids are now 16, 15, and 12 and ever so demanding. My wife has a very stressful job as a paralegal. I have purchased her a spa package on her birthday for the last few years. I would really like to surprise her with a weekend in Vegas and a real Vegas spa and pampering. We have been to Vegas before and my wife had the best time she has ever had. My Ultimate Vegas Dream Vacation would be to take her away for a 3 or 4 day weekend and have her pampered Las Vegas style.  Thanks. 
Ken Repchinski  Leduc AB Canada

 

Traveling to Las Vegas with my husband of more than 20 years. Enjoying a stay at a nice casino, in a great room, with a view of the strip. Eating at the many great buffets and restaurants (especially the Mexican food ones). Maybe seeing a show or two. The best part would be just being in Las Vegas with someone that you really love and enjoying everything that the city has to offer. I have been to Las Vegas many times before and I can honestly say there is no better place in the world that you can go and forget about all of your worries, troubles, concerns etc. As soon as you get off that plane you are in another world where you have nothing but fun to think about.  Cindy Baker  Sherman TX

 

I think the best Vegas vacation would be to relive the old days of Vegas.  Not only the Rat Pack and the fascination of the era, but the people seemed more dressed up and the city attacked a more upscale element.  Ok, sure, the gangsters were there and maybe it wasnt all colorful and happy times, but to see men in suits and women in evening dresses would be such a great change from todays drudge of the sloppy dressed, bad hygene, drunk, and overall come as you woke up look.  Roger Brown  IL

 

My dream vegas vacation is to fly in to mccarran airport-be picked up by a limo and whisked to my hotel. Once checked in I am ushered to the spa for a massage and facial. Then I have dinner and a show. After the show its on to the crap tables for some action. The next day is about the sights - I want to see it all being driven around in a limo stopping to shop of course. I am back at my hotel for dinner and another of the fantastic shows. Tonight I am up for some black jack and Texas Hold-em. Vegas is a dream getaway.  Rhonda Clark  Arlington TX

 

My idea of the best Las Vegas Vacation imaginable: my husband and I fly first class to Vegas. Limo is waiting at the airport and drives us around the whole long weekend. Hotel accommodations are provided by Bellagio. First night we go to the casino and gamble all night long, second night we dance away at the night club and the third day we have a nice long retreat at the spa and at night we have nice Italian dinner and watch the Cirque du Soleil show. Each day we don't go to bed before 3 am and don't get up before noon. Limo takes us back to the airport and we fly first class back to our boring jobs. Julita Sofijski  San Jose CA

 

Flying into Las Vegas with my husband, we go directly to the Luxor where we check in and put our bags in our room. We do not stay long, as we are excited to go play the slots and to get into a Texas Hold 'Em Tournament. My husband Loves poker! After watching him WIN a tournament, we take a walk down the strip, stopping for margaritas and dinner, then go to see Barry Manilow. There is nothing in the world like seeing a world-class performer doing what he does best!  After just one day in Las Vegas, we stumble back to the gorgeous Luxor hotel where we sleep in cool comfort. The next morning we're off to the Spice Market Buffet for breakfast and in between poker and slots, we try our hand at each casino's buffet. It's a day of gambling with our money and our palates!  The weekend is almost over, but we're having so much fun that we do not want to go home. In the Luxor we get souvenirs for the kids and our parents, then head back to the airport. It's been a fantastic two days in Las Vegas that we will never forget!  Dece Gherardini  Mesa AZ

 

Fly into Vegas at night, so I may see all the fabulous lights of the city. Get into a waiting limo that will take my husband and myself to a very nice (4 star) Hotel. Pop a bottle of champagne, freshen up and go downstairs to the casino to have some fun for awhile. After getting just a bit of sleep I would love to do some shopping along the strip. We would of course visit other casinos and play in them. I know we would go to a few shows, I've always wanted to see a showgirl type show in person. My husband would take me somewhere fancy for dinner, so I would get to get all dolled up. Of course before we leave Vegas I would have won enough $$$ to cover our trip and then some. I would love to be relaxed and casual during the day then glitzy and excited all night, that is what I think of when I think Las Vegas. I can't wait to go.  Candice Varner  Atascadero CA

 

The ideal Las Vegas trip to me would be for my husband to go out there and see his aunt that he has never met before and finally found her after 39 years. My husband and I would also like to visit the casino's and try out our luck and hopefully win. We would like to see some shows out there and at night see all the beautiful lights that you see on television. I think going to Las Vegas and seeing my husbands aunt and going out to the clubs and casino's to have a good time would be a great dream trip to Las Vegas. Going on the Roller Coaster at the Stratosphere hotel would be a dream some true.  Donna Franks  Imlay City MI

 

If I had the money. or won a contest, this would be the dream Vegas vacation. A limo would pick me and 3 friends up from my apartment and take us to the airport in DC. After all, who wants to go to Vegas alone? We would have VIP treatment at the airport before boarding and fly first class to Vegas. There we would be picked up by another limo and taken to the Venetian. We would be staying in their best suite for 6 nights, 7 days with a butler included. While there, most of the guest services requested (i.e. alcohol, room service, spa treatments, etc) would be comped by the hotel. We would have a limo and personal guide to show us around the city. Included in the trip would be a night helicopter trip over Las Vegas in order to see the city's glow. The following day, we would have a helicopter and foot tour of the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. Upon our return to the city, a feast would be ready in a banquet room with a private performance from one of the many incredible artists there. We would be allowed private tables if we wanted and access to all parts of the casino. After expending all our energy we would prepare for our departure. Swamped with free gifts and souvenirs, we would get back into our limo and head to the airport. Again, we would have VIP comforts at the airport and fly first class back to DC. There, a final limo would taxi us home. That in a nutshell, would be a dream Las Vegas vacation.  Jason Eacho  Alexandria VA

 

I dream of Vegas. The lights, the sounds of coins hitting the metal of the slot machines, the smells coming from the exquisite restaurants. Vegas is special to me. I was married their 7 years ago. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas but for me, it is a place of love. Where my husband and I can stroll down the strip hand and hand and reminisce of our wedding night. To stand and watch the Bellagio Hotel water show, we stayed their for our honeymoon and watched the water show from our window. To go and she all the glamour of the Las Vegas shows and see the sites of the Hoover Damn. Nothing elaborate for me, just a much needed R and R with my husband. I guess on a cheesy side I do want to visit the restaurant of the winner of Hell's Kitchen at Red Rock Hotel. I know, I know, but I loved Heather on the show. I love Vegas!  Rebecca Jones  Flint TX

 

I wanna go to vegas!  Marcia Gotti  Warren OH

 

Suite with paris hilton.  william stanger  bloomington IL

 

It was a free trip I won to Acapulco, Mexico twenty years ago. I had never been anywhere until then. I have always been short of cash, so I was able to enjoy 5 wonderful days of adventure without worrying about how much it was going to cost. Also, I got married while I was there!  debra shirley  marietta GA

 

Go to the Casinos and win big then hit the town enjoying all the attractions.  
Shaun Wallner  Leoma TN

 

My ideal Las Vegas vacation would be to make a honeymoon that we never had out of the trip. It would include everything romantic. Roses, champagne and chocolate would be great. A quiet dinner and a show would be terrific.  Don Schraier  Venice CA

 

My dream is to go to Vegas and forget all my problems, and to win Big!  Winston Banford  Mount Holly NJ

 

when I bowled in the national bowling tourney yrs ago, its something I would love to relive again.  theresa demars  oshkosh WI

 

Mine would be to take all my kids (6 of them) and get married to my wonderful boyfriend.  we always wanted to do this but the money is tight.  cammie kent  mount vernon OH

 

To get out of maine in the winter go to vegas on 12/31 and get married to my master plumber.  heidi shumate  casco ME

 

I have never been to Vegas. I would throw caution to the wind and stay up late, gamble and eat lots of food that was bad for me.  Andrea Engelhardt  Gastonia NC

 

The best of the best.  Burton Bathrick  Hyde Park NY

 

Private jet awaits me at JFK. I am sole passenger. I dine on Filet Mignon, lobster & Lady Godiva Chocolates. My seat converts to bed with cashmere throw. At McCarran Airport, helicopter whisks me to roof of Venetian Resort Hotel. Short stroll to my penthouse suite with private spa, 60" tv, champagne, telescope. Days: Chauffeured to best hotel buffets, gambling & tours. Nites: shows & admiring nite views from penthouse. Trip ends all too soon as helicopter takes me to McCarran.  Nina Crespi  Brooklyn NY

 

Oh, to fly on a private jet to Las Vegas and stay at the beautiful Venetian Hotel, attend the shows, play the slots, ride on the gondolas with your special love, take a helicopter ride over the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon and then take a tour of Las Vegas at night in a private limo, stopping off at any of the popular night spots your heart desired. A week filled with late nights and lazy days with your loved one and being able to see all the popular celebrity shows that week and just knowing that you had spending money to play the tables or slots and a chance of a lifetime to win big money in the Big City that never sleeps!  Phyllis Martin  Hahira GA

 

I would love to stay at the most luxurious hotel possible and see the most prestigious shows. It would be my dream to meet some famous person along the way and have my picture taken with them. I would have to have some big money so that I could gamble with no reserve whatsoever. Having dinner at the most famous restaurants would be a must. It would be fabulous to have a limo to ride around in so that I could go from place to place in style. Of course, I would have to shop until I drop. To sum up, my dream trip would be to feel like a celebrity and live it up in Las Vegas.  Joey Hernandez  Alamo TX

 

I have been to Las Vegas several times, as my son went to college at unlv. Every trip was enjoyable but my dream vacation would be to go with the "girls", the group of women I work with, we are all 50 somethings who always enjoy each others company. It would be a chance for us to let loose and go crazy, massages, drinks, slots, male nudie show, the works!  Laurie Steiner  Spotswood NJ

 

My Maximum Vegas Dream Vacation story would be to have that, just us two, bests friends of 31 years who have spent 29 apart, through miles, but not the heart. To share a richness, value then so few have known and to have a dream come true, a story to add to all we have shared and all at the expense of the phone company who paid for our trip and Vegas also placing us in lights, that snap photo of us holding a jack pot check that together we now know "what happens in vegas stays in vegas". A gift through ups and downs, friends now can share bigger smiles with what also holds true, Grand children...added lesson...see mama never lied to you. Grand children...it does come back my children harder on you. Ha Ha   Lynda Ott  Grand island NE

 

I dont have the money to go.  Glenda Rayburn  Ochlocknee GA

 

My dream vacation would be about 4-5 nights with my newlywed wife (This past January) to celebrate our 1-year anniversary for the week of January 12th, 2007. Our wedding & honeymoon were wonderful & very memorable. Thank you Las Vegas!  Larry Strehl  Tampa FL

 

Vegas is a dream and best of all it is obtainable by almost all.  No other city gets me so excited.  The thrill of the lights, the action, the huge amounts of money, the cars and best of all the gorgeous women.  Spending nights out and gambling during the days would be the best vacation I could have and that is what I do each year.  Connie Freeman  NY NY

 

Oprah always says "if you dream ..dream big" so here's my big dream...not just to be treated like a celebrity but to be a celebrity...I would like a complete makeover... Snazzy clothes and all...then be on stage in front of a large crowd...maybe sing with wayne or celine or where's big elvis at these days?? (I promise to practice before I come) ... then have at least one night living it up in a celebrity suite...with champagne and of course my husband...oh what bliss...what are the odds huh? I feel lucky!  Fay Duphette Tupperville ON Canada

 

Wow - Las Vegas. It has been many years since our last trip to Vegas, but I remember the fun, the lights, the long nights. It was before children and our oldest is 25. I think the trip of a lifetime would be to have my whole family in Vegas, all together. There are a bunch of us, and the more - the merrier, I think. It would have to be in the spring because that would be the perfect time of year. We would all stay in the same hotel, on the same floor, and of course - it would be the most exclusive hotel and all expenses paid. Certain members live in another state far from us, so it would be a reunion of sorts. We of course would need to have sitters for the younger children, and a meal allowance. Oh, and of course, shows - we Have to see the shows. Barry Manilow and Celine Dion are my favorites and we Must see them!  I don't think my family would mind if I was a bit selfish!  After that, they can choose any show they want. Oh, and of course, we would all need gambling money. I am not much of one, but it sure would be a lot more fun if it was not my hard earned money I was losing!  We could also have my daughter's bachelorette party while there. But then we would need to fly out all her bridesmaids for the night. There are 10 of them!  What a wild party that would be!! One can dream!  Cathy Egerton  Wood Dale, IL

 

Love to go to Vegas to renew our wedding vows.  Mary Reich  Streamwood IL

 

All my life I have always done for everyone else and have gotten very little in return. I do volunteer work in Toronto and I deal with some very nasty people who don't appreciate what I do. Vegas sounds like a place where I can spend time on myself and have others do for me for a change Everyone who goes there for a vacation is there for one thing, to have a good time. A few of my friends have gone to Vegas for a vacation have said they had a great time there and I myself should go if I ever got the chance. Vegas has everything I have ever dreamed of. Where else in one place can you go and have the excitement of the Vegas strip such as gambling and shopping, yet hit historical sites such as the hoover dam, Area 51 and the Grand Canyon, places I have only seen on TV and have only dreamed of seeing first hand. And let's not forget the array of live shows they have. There is something for everyone. Whether its art, museums, or live animals. And if you are a fan of Elvis, they have Elvis-A-Rama and for Star Trek fans they have Star Trek: The Experience. Me personally, I am very interested in Egypt so the King Tut Museum is right up my alley. It is a place where you can meet friendly people, nice families, and who knows, I may even find a mate? Vegas has a past history of big names who played vegas such as Frank Sinatra. And as far as the weather is concerned, warm weather which I personally love. I can't think of another place aside from Vegas that has everything in one place for single person, a group or families.  Theresa Munroe  Toronto ON Canada

 

My dream vacation would be a first-class nonstop flight to Vegas for my husband and I. When we arrive, our rental car is ready and waiting for us. We would stay 3 nights at Caesar's overlooking the Strip, then 4 nights at the Bellagio, overlooking the dancing water. If we can stay longer, we would also stay at New York, New York, Rio, Venetian and Mandalay Bay. All the rooms would have jacuzzis. We would eat at a different restaurant every night and see lots of different shows: Elton John, Price is Right, Lance Burton, Hypnolarius and others. We would spend a day visiting the Grand Canyon and another day visiting the Spa, complete with massages. In between all the shows, we would spend lots of time gambling up and down the strip. We would see the Fremont Street Experience and gamble downtown. If we are there during the Nascar races, we would like to have seats on the start/finish line and meet Jimmie Johnson in person. We would enter poker tournaments and slot tournaments. We would shop until we drop at all the great shops. We would visit the Ghost Bar, see the dueling pianos, and bet some money on football games, Nascar races, etc at MGM and Mandalay Bay. We would sleep very little in order to fit all this in and more, because there will be lots of time to sleep when this dream vacation comes to an end.

The ideal Las Vegas trip would be going to see a different show each night, enjoying the buffets at each restaurant, having time and money to poke around the shops at the Venitian, and watching the fountains at the Bellagio at sunset. Winning big would be a huge plus, but also can not forget an afternoon trip to Ethel M's chocolates.  Deborah Mayfield  Charlotte VT

 

Hello, my dream vacation would be to take a trip with my sister. She is a stay at home mom who helps me with my 3 children any given day of the week. As I have recently taken on the job of now becoming a single parent, I realize the importance of family. Without my families support in this difficult time, I couldn't make it. I would like to show my sister how much I love her and take her away in appreciation if even for a couple of days. This would mean the world to the both of us. Thanks so much.

Having a great time in the most exciting city in the world. Gambling and winning money. Seeing the incredible sites, shows. A person can feel the excitement in the air. I've only been there once and on the last day I got ill, and had to go home . I would love to do all those wonderful things I see on TV. Experience what Las Vegas life as it happens. I love that city. There's so much to do. I just might have to move there. Please, consider me for this trip and ill do my best to live out my Las Vegas dreams.   merrick neill  eugene OR

 

The dream is this... laying by the side of a pool with palm trees swaying and a frozen margarita in my hand.  Some gambling during the night, a magic show. Never been to Vegas, but would like to think the dream could be real.

My ideal Vegas Vacation would be to take my grandparents out to see all the great things in Vegas. My grandparents have always been some of the most helpful people in my life. from understanding all my troubles that they have been through themselves 10 times over, to helping how ever they could in troublesome times. Unfortunately, for the majority of the past ten years they have been only able to get around there house due to medical treatment and health problems, which always seemed so monotonous for such happy active people. After being in Vegas a couple of times and telling them stories about great buildings, lions idoors, and having fun any hour of the day, they've always excited and enjoyed hearing the stories, of being out and sight seeing but, in a sense being more free to be out and about having fun. Ever sense then, I've wished I could just take them out to see everything there, for their joy of being the active people they've always been and just to give them something back for all love they have for everyone and all they've done for me and everyone else.  Alex Aragonez  Apple Valley CA

I like Vegas for it's surprises. So my dream vacation to Vegas would be hanging out with friends and looking for adventures. We love to see the shows, get pampered at a spa and rent a car and drive till we get tried. It all can happen in Vegas. So my dream vacation is spending a week with my friends.  ceceilia haasis  springfield IL

 

I love the monorail. I visit Vegas 3-4 times a year, and prefer to get around by monorail. It is more convenient and not as crowded as the buses. I was shocked at the increase in fares though the last time I was there, and may not be riding it as often as I did in the past. I thought the $25 10 ride ticket was reasonable, $35 is way too much. Celia Vela  El Paso Texas

 

I have never rode the Monorail because it didnt stop at the site I wanted to go. So we take a taxi for the time we are on vacation. It casts about $30 for a roundtrip to one casino in cab. I would love to see a round trip on the monorail for about $8-$10 round way. And if it went from the airport to casinos, we would for sure take it. Also, if it went from the strip to downtown for about $20 round way, I would take that instead of cab. Erica Dixson  North Richland Hills Texas

 

I believe in the ideal efficiency of the Monorail to pick you up at the terminal and drop you at your hotel for a price less than cab fare. I would try it, booking at one of the hotels at which it stops. I would pay the same as BelTrans, and pack for a single roll-on bag. If it was running, and if it started and stopped when it was supposed to, and I had no problems, I would tell all my friends. Anyone offering odds?  Don Bartley  Portland. OR

 

I have ridden the Monorail several times. I think it is a good way to get around. The expansion to the airport will be a good addition and will make it possible to get to/from many hotels. The one way fare should be about $3 or $4 . $5 is a little much, maybe they need to get better sponsors/advertisers, to try and stay profitable, or hotels could offer free or reduce fares.  Mike  Santa Clarita, CA

 

After 15 years of practice, I am marrying the man of my dreams. We are running off to Vegas on 10-27 through the 31 and sometime during that time we will tie the knot. I was looking for expert advise on weddings and came across your site. If I won we could upgrade to a honeymoon sweet. Don't expect to see us though. (Unless you are going to Vegoose-that's our wedding bands.) Yes, after 15 years of dating the romance is Very Much alive!  Patricia Clark   St. Cloud MN

 

My dream vacation would start with a beautiful morning drive to the airport with my husband Mark. The flight would be us talking about our trip. We would be picked up by a limo. We would be taken to an hotel and check in and immediately we would act like we did when we were newlyweds. We would go to our room and drop everything at the door and head out to enjoy the evening and each other. We would talk about anything and everything over a romantic dinner and then dream about what we would do with the big win we would have that night. We would walk down the strip hand in hand and just be in awe of everything. We would put some money in some slot machines and then we would sit down and play some poker. We neither win or lose at the end of the night but go back to the room content and happy and talk about what we would do the next day. The next day we do some shopping (not his favorite thing but he's doing it for me) we eat at a nice restaurant and choose a show we would both like to see then go back to our room and get ready for the show. We go to the show and have a ball then we gamble some more and finally stumble up to our room with silly grins on our faces. Then we head home to tell our family and friends about our wonderful trip. The whole time I'm telling them about all of the great stuff we did in Vegas I would be smiling about how Mark and I connected again like honeymooners.  Cindy Basford  Middletown OH

 

My dream vacation to Vegas would be to fly first class on a major airline, Stay in a luxury hotel, To play the slot machines all night and all day winning a huge jackpot or maybe just winning a small jackpot, I'm not greedy. I just love to play the slot machines. I find it relaxing as well as exciting. It would be a dream of mine just to go to Vegas and see the beautiful lights and visit as many casinos as I could. The thrill of being there would make it a dream Vacation. Actually a dream come true It is something I have dreamed of doing for many years, but have not been able to afford it. I would take my husband of 34 years, a very hard working man who really needs a much deserved vacation and who loves to play the slots as well. We would enjoy just being together doing something we love to do. Deloris Hedrick  Clintonville WV

 

I planned a trip to Las Vegas last year for this April 2006. I saved a year to take this trip. I have always wanted to see Celine Deone in concert. I purchased tickets for my children, husband, myself and a couple of friends. We arrived on Thursday and our tickets for the show were on Friday. We all got dressed up, rented a cab and were off to the show. We walked up to the entry and there was a sign that She had cancelled her show for the week. Of course it was too late to get any other good concert or show tickets for that next couple of days. What a disappointing trip. We did enjoy the gambling and the bus system seem to be a lot better now. But I was so disappointed that I had spent all that money on airfare, hotel and the highlight of the trip was cancelled.  My ideal trip would be airfare, hotel and 6 tickets to see the Celine Deone show and dinner. It would really be nice to have reservations to another show at another venue the next night in case one of the shows were cancelled. I have also wanted to take tour of the Grand Canyon.  Vondale Salem  Noble OK

 

To me finally taking my wife to Las Vegas after ten years of marriage for our honeymoon would be a great beginning. Going to our hotel dropping a couple bucks into a slot machine and winning the big money like millions on our first day would be so sweet. Putting most of it straight into savings would be the next we would do. I would then take my wife shopping for some great new clothes. Somehow I would get her busy shopping so I could sneak off and buy her a five to twenty thousand dollar wedding ring to replace the one I got her with the little money I could. It would have a card that would explain to her how much I love her and how much I appreciate all of her comfort and help through life. After she is finished crying I think we would go for to a show. Probable a comedy if they have one going. After that I think we would take the helicopter ride. Then dinner at one of the nicest places in town. The next day we would ride the coasters and play games at circus circus. Everyday would be dedicated to fun and romance. I would love spoiling my wife to the fullest extent.  Darren Murray  Mose Lake WA

 

A limo comes to pick us and our best friends (our neighbors) up for our journey to the Wynn hotel. We love all of the Vegas hotels but this one is something special. We get there in time for our lunch buffet at the Wynn. All four of us ate enough crab legs there the last visit to put Steve in the poorhouse. Then, we get our comp card for the ladies to gamble - It doesn't have to be loads of cash just enough for us to have a little fun without losing our money. The guys would rather go to the International pool - which kept them pretty busy (so busy they forgot we came to gamble).  That evening, we will go to a show - we would see any Cirque de Soleil show (they are all marvelous) or our favorite Danny Gans - we have seen him 4 times and still would pick his show or Celine Dion who is unbelievable. Our dinner will be at Le Cirque, Andre's , Eiffel Tower at Paris or Bradley Ogden at Caesars.  We need a whole day of shopping in all the great stores and the only way to get around is bring that limo driver back with a good knowledge of the traffic on the strip. We would shop at the Forum shops or Wynn or Desert Passage. We would also like to meet Emeril at one of his wonderful restaurants. and have dinner with him.  We have about 100 friends here in Surprise - so we better go souvenir shopping and bring everyone back a little trinket or two. Las Vegas is my idea of paradise - and the only reason I have made it my vacation every single year since I first came here so many years ago. I just love this town.  Arthur Stackpole  Surprise AZ
