My dream las vegas trip would have a tribute to Elvis theme. As a huge E.P. fan we would see the trent carlini show, and any other such Elvis shows, musical or otherwise. Play Elvis concert cds in the hotel and have drinks before going out. Purchase Elvis apparel shirts, shorts etc walking down the strip everyone would know our love for the king, sing Elvis's suspicious minds and Imperial place karaoke nite. Go to the hard rock caffe and bask in the memory at the gift shop photos/ posters area and relive a classic bygone American era, then cap off the trip with a American Legands show at the Stratosphere. Walking back to our hotel after the show the trip almost over, we'd say hello to other vacationers and late nite partyers asking if they ever saw the KIng in concert and shaking hands and saying "god bless america " and the King will live on in the hearts of all who remember him. That would be my hearts joy to do while in my beloved Las Vegas, the city where Elvis also loved and frequently stayed in.  theodore craig  brampton ON Canada

My mother has dementia and is very forgetful. A dream vacation would be to take her to Las Vegas right now while she still remembers who I am.  margaret yancie  calgary  AB Canada

It is 2 days before the World Series of Poker.  Myself and a friend are picked up in a limosine, driven to O'Hare airport where we relax in an airline lounge before flying 1st class non-stop to McCarron Airport. Here we are assisted with our luggage and driven, via a limo, to the Rio hotel where we are assigned a suite that gives us a view of the Las Vegas strip. It is 2 days before the WSOP. I have a free entry into this tournament. I go to the area reserved for the press/media and other players. Here we eat/drink and discuss and have a chance to meet our competition (if we desire too). We receive a copy of the rules and a layout/floorplan of where we will be playing. The next day we have to ourselves so that we can relax our mind this last day before the game begins.  The morning of the tournament we not only receive a 'wake-up' call but that our free breakfast is being delivered to our door in 30 minutes.  After breakfast, preparation is made (mental and physical) before we leave the room to make our way to the start of the WSOP and hear the words:  "shuffle up and deal"!  Bill Anderson  chicago IL

Ok, we all asked for the same, jets, limo, first class, 5 stars, anniversaries, weddings, and every other reason you would want to win a trip to LV. Well, I will be honest, and selfish, I just want to win! No other excuses. Give me a free trip so I can do all the good things mentioned. Greedy? Sure, cause I want to win! And that would be my ideal vacation in Las Vegas, free is for me!  Judy Pukalo  Lackawanna NY

Vegas Dream Vacation? I love to travel! Soar in the wind like a bird, swim across every ocean, and crawl in every underground tunnel!   Okay that was a joke! My Vegas dream vacation would be to travel by vehicle so I can sight see everything on the way there. I would stay at a classy hotel with my mother and we would take a stroll to a fancy restaurant where we would meet Brad Pitt, hopefully he's there, and get his sexy autograph!  I would love to take pictures of all the lights on main street! I would keep these memories with me for a lifetime.  The best things in life are those that we hold with us forever in memory. My vegas dream vacation would be something I would cherish greatly.  Nathan Morgan  Sandy

Any trip to Las Vegas would be a dream come true for me and my wife. We have 5 children ranging in age from 5 to 17, and rarely get a moment alone, much less a fantasy trip to Vegas. We were married in Las Vegas at one of your wonderful little wedding chapels many years ago, and it is still a fond memory we often talk about. I have heard about the fantastic new casinos that have been built over the last few years and would love to explore all of them. My dream vacation would include a renewal of our wedding vows to let my wife know how very special she is. Then a limo ride to the best restaraunt, followed by dancing at a hot nightclub, a late night snack, then back to our hotel room with chilled champagne, shrimp, and strawberries while we relax in our private hot tub. Finally off to the casino where we would play blackjack together, slots, win lots of money, and just have too much fun. Of course, it wouldn't be a dream vacation without seeing a couple of the famous Vegas shows, comedy acts, and finally seeing Eric Clapton in concert with back stage passes to meet him. We would just do everything that continues to make Las Vegas the best city in the world: the best hotels, best gaming, and great fun.  Doug Schemm  Osage City KS

My dream vacation in Las Vegas. Any hotel on the strip would be perfect - love 'em all and they each have their own personality. Laying by the pool for hours in about 85 degree temperature. A buffet at Paris or Rio at night is superior and maybe even a helicoptor ride after since nothing is as beautiful as Vegas with all the night lights. Anything you do in Vegas is going to be fun since everyone is in good spirits. And shopping at Venetian Inn is superior, hours can be spent between Venetian Inn and the Shopping Mall. The dancing waters are always a must see. Everything in Vegas is a must see from downtown to the nightlife on the strip. I'd leave tomorrow if I could, so much fun.  Sandra Laskey  Mound MN

The greatest vacation ever would Have to take place in Vegas! I have been there many times and everytime Ive been, I've experienced different scenes and participated in different forms of entertainment. But, since we're talking about an ideal vacation it would have to include my closest friends. All of us would fly 1st class, be given a limo ride to The Bellagio, put up in a suite over-looking the Fountains, and be given complimentaries to the buffet, Prime, and "O". Since my friends and I are poker players, we’re invited to play in $100k top prize tournament and are introduced to and spend time with some poker legends. After taking out Doyle Brunson to win the tournament, my friends and I are shuttled down to Stratosphere to ride the rides on top and have dinner at Top of the World. As we head back we stop at Caesars and party at Pure with some of the hottest women in the world. After all that excitement, the morning brings us a relaxing and recharging treatment at the spa. Then we take off and have golf lessons with Butch Harmon and play a round. On the way back in, we meet with Richard Reed of Insider Viewpoint of LV and he takes us on a personal tour of the little known and unique things Vegas has to offer. Since Ive been to Vegas several times, its always a good idea to do something different and find out what else is out there and Mr. Reed gaves us some info. He gives us some complimentary tickets to a show that we've never heard of and we are totally impressed. We then have dinner at Prime, split up, gamble, return to tell each other about how much money each of us won.  Alex Zangotsis  Burlington NC

I think the ultimate Las Vegas Vacation would be for a friend and me to stay in an upscale Las Vegas property, preferably during the PBR Finals.  The minute we got off of the plane we would start gambling! Then we would do a little Wranglers (jeans that is) and cowboy hat site seeing, if you know what I mean. And then we would gamble some more! After all that's what you go to Vegas for.  Every night we are in Vegas we would attend the PBR Finals..........and then gamble some more!  This would be my Las Vegas dream vacation.  Kathy Johnsen  Pisgah IA

My dream vacation would be a flight for two to Vegas. I would take my husband, whom I married on 4/14/07 in Las Vegas at the Garden of Love. He has recently been deployed to Iraq, but he gets two weeks leave in the middle of the deployment. We would go to Vegas (because we win this contest). I limo picks us up and takes us to the New York hotel and casino. We freshen up and go to a romantic dinner for two. We then gamble all night long. Get an hour of sleep, get breakfast and then gamble some more. We then we go to an awesome show, blue man or mama mia would be awesome. We check out all the sites, spend all our money, have a blast, then head home. That would be a perfect vegas vacation.  Amanda Stahl  Las Cruces NM

My dream Las Vegas vacation would be to return to Vegas for my one-year wedding anniversary with my husband, sister, and her husband. My sister and I would also be mourning the loss of our mother and to honor her, we would play all the penny slot machines. And it wouldn't matter if we won or lost because she never really cared. Sure, she'd get excited about a "big" win ($25 or more), but she just loved to see how long her original $20 would last. I'd love to return to Vegas and just see how long I could last at the every penny machine I could find. I really miss her.  Amy Oakes  Port Angeles WA

My ideal vacation to Las Vegas would be to get on a flight where champagne will be served to me with a meal (preferably an afternoon snack) awaiting. I take a power nap from having food coma and by the time i know it, I have arrived to Las Vegas. When I get there, a car takes me to my hotel room which has it's own jacuzzi that has already been heated up. I sit in there for a half hour and relax as I order some food for dinner. I eat my dinner, then get dressed in a fabulous outfit and venture off down to the casino where I can play blackjack for a couple hours or so until a show I want to see is scheduled to play, like Cirque de Soleil. After the show I go to a bar or club to release my party animal! So that the next day can be a fun day where I go to the MGM and ride all the rides and play games. Then, in the early evening, I will go to a spa and get my hair, nails, face, body all done in one salon to re-hydrate and relax and replenish. Then in the evening time, I would go play more blackjack, go to another show, then another club/bar. Depending on how many days, I would also want to go to the desert and camp for a night or go rock climbing. All this either with one person or with a bunch of friends. Please help me make it happen!  Emily Jarrett  Emeryville CA

we just had our first baby and we need to get away and quick!  brittany patterson  chandler AZ

My ultimate dream las vegas vacation would start off by flying first class to las vegas and then picked up by hummer limo wisking us away to a grand suite at the wynn with a view of the strip. Then my husband and I would re-new our wedding vows where we got married (excalubur chappel) then to have a nice dinner at one of the top restaurants and then to have an hour to gamble as we please with no concerns of the money.  Lorena Campbell  Cranberry Twp PA

To be honest my dream vacation for Las Vegas is anytime I visit. I am not a high roller and nor do come to Vegas with thousands of dollars in my pocket, but every time I visit Vegas it's like a dream. Like many people I work an unfulfilling 9-5 job, and the real excitement for me comes those 2 to 3 times a year that I visit Las Vegas. The anticipation I have before my trip is like a kid that can't wait for Christmas, or the newly weds before their wedding day. I have been to Vegas at least 25 times. I made my first trip when I was 21 years old. Now I am in my 40's, and each time I visit it's an adventure and it rejuvenates me. I know a lot of people see the dream vacation to Vegas as the high roller treatment, limos, and posh suites. The real dream for me is just being their, absorbing the energy and excitement that the city has.  Harold Burtley  Schererville IN

I have been to Las Vegas numerous times and I have to say that coming home, back to my dull and drab life is very hard to do after experiencing Las Vegas. I have never in my life be so (At Home) or comfortable than I am when I am in Vegas. It seems that I was always meant to be there. I only wish that I had the means to be able to live in Vegas, but I am afraid that if I lived there that I would not be able to appreciate Las Vegas the way that I do now. Las Vegas is and always will be the only place in the world that I feel that I actually belong. I am truly at home when in Vegas and only wish that I had the opportunity to visit more often. I truly believe that I would be a much more content person if I were able. Vegas Is My Second Home.  Tamera Roberts   Knoxville TN

I would love to show my best friend in the world the beauty of Las Vegas. The casinos, the Hoover Dam, the shows, the wonderful food buffets, the dream that is Las Vegas. Currently, I work three jobs and am working on my Master's Degree. My friend works on computers. He has never been on an airplane and has mentioned many times that he would to visit Las Vegas. With our schedules, it would be wonderful to spend the night playing the slot machines or card games and just forgetting time.  Carrolyn Lewis  Valparaiso IN

I am getting married July 7, 2007 and wanted to have a honeymoon in Vegas. I think it would be great as neither my new wife nor myself has ever been to Vegas as the cost is always to much to go. I would love to show off my new wife and hopefully win a few bucks at the same time. I want to have a honey moon in Vegas. We are going to the justice of peace to get married to save money for a vacation. I work 6 days and some times seven days each week on the pipeline. I enjoy my job and was told I can get off for this special occasion. I am so excited to get to have this opportunity to hopefully win this trip of a lifetime. Please , please help my dream and my new wife's dream come true by flying us to Vegas for the honeymoon of a lifetime. I want to see the shows and have some fun while there. The great street of light on t.v is all so fun to watch. I look forward to hearing I won.. Thanks for the contest.  Gary Petchinsky Jr  McAlester OK

My most favorite place in the world is Vegas. I think everyone should go to Vegas at least once. My dream vacation would be and always has been just to go to Vegas. I don't have any special wants. I just like being there. I think of Vegas everyday. I try to go at least once a year. It would be a dream come true if I was to win a trip to Vegas and not have to scrimp and save for the trip. I am on a limited income, so it's not as easy as it use to be to come up with the funds. I have some medical problems that seem to almost go away when I'm in Vegas. I usually feel under the weather prior to going, but as soon as I board the plane I feel a lot better. I also feel great the whole time I'm in Vegas. When I get to the airport on the return trip, I start to feel bad again. My family thinks it's all in my head. I think the ultimate trip would be to just go. Like I said before, I don't need anything special, just to go to Vegas, I have been going to Vegas every year since 1980 and have never had a bad experience. Of course I don't win that often, but I'm ok with that. I'm not a big time gambler anyway, just slots. The ultimate thing would be for me to see The Temptations in Vegas, they are my favorite group. I usually go to Vegas Sunday thru Thursday and they usually perform on the weekend. Now that would be my dream vacation to see them along with my daughter who is my best friend.   Linda Sinette  Dallas TX

My dream Vegas vacation begins with a private jet to Vegas. A limo with a full bar whisks me off to my penthouse apartment in the 4 seasons at Mandalay Bay. Where I am greeted by the concierge who informs me that my itinerary includes front row seats the the UFC title fight with private passes to meet the fighters at the post fight party hosted at the RIO. I dine every night a different 4 star restaurant without ever having to wait in line. I meet the chiefs and tour the kitchens if I have time before going to all the newest shows. During the day we spent time up on lake Mead fishing with on a private boat with a guide. Jet skis for the wife and son. After fishing we take the helicopter tour which brings us back to the roof of our penthouse. I end the trip by winning the "Texas Hold Em" tournament and get my own show on ESPN because of my outrageous play. The builders of latest condos on the strip see me and offer a free condo if I agree to promote their latest million dollar condo tower. On the way out of the hotel I stop by the Sports Book and pick the "winner" of the next superbowl and bump into Steve Wynn who invites me to stay at his hotel the next time I'm in town. While boarding the private jet to go home, Donnald Trump asks if he can hop a ride as his jet is delayed and he has to get back to AC and sign the deal to sell his casions. One the ride back the Donnald tells me about his next deal. We play cards on the way home to pass the time and he loses.  Frank Giordano  Philadelphia PA

I Came, I saw, I won!  John McCune  apple valley MN

It would start by getting first class tickets on an expensive all inclusive jet plane. We would arrive in vegas with our 3 children and 2 older grandchildren. Stay in the most expensive hotel where its all inclusive. We would go to all sorts of different shows every single night. We would win loads and loads of money and 3 new cars. We would be gambling into the wee hours of the morning meeting lots of different celebrities.  doris boissoneau  Garden river ON Canada

My Dream Vacation would be to get married in Las Vegas ! I met my soulmate when I was 14 and he is the love of my life! We are expecting our first baby in October and I have always dreamed of being married in Las Vegas. It would be a dream come true. My guy is 1 in a million to say the least. We want to get married as soon as possible so this trip would include the 3 of us! I wish we could win so I could surprise him with a dream vacation/wedding before our baby arrives!  Amy Seekford  Staunton VA

Flying into Vegas on a beautiful sunny day. Spending a week in Vegas with my friends and family in a classy hotel. We would spend our days laying beside the pool, sun bathing in our bikinis. For dinner we would walk the Strip and find a big buffet to eat at. After dinner we would see one a Las Vegas' fabulous shows. The time between dinner and the show we'd pull up a few seats at some slot machines and try our luck! After the show we would head out to another casino or try one of the hot nightclubs. We would drink and dance the night away. The week would be similar every night with each day having its own twist. Just walking the Strip and seeing the amazing lights would take up hours. It would be a fantastic trip with good company, lots of drinks and lots of slots! I would have the time of my life in Las Vegas!  Stacey Shewan   Langley BC Canada

I would like to experience Vegas in two ways, once as it was in the past when the famous or infamous people controlled the city and now with all the glamour and high end casinos.  Mixing the two would be the ideal dream trip.  Bob W.  Tx.

Considering I have been to Las Vegas more than 50 times, I feel that I am some what of a resident.  My dream trip would be simple, but yet the most enjoyable I have ever had in Vegas.  On my next trip to Vegas, in August, I want to stay.  Yes, just stay and never return to the boring life I am living here in NY.  Realizing that I was a permanent resident of Vegas would be the best dream vacation, because it would never end.  Lawrence S.  NY.

Thirty-seven years ago we had a big wedding planned however, on that day my grandmother died two hrs before. We got married however, there was not a dry eye in the church. We were also told we would have bad luck from this day forward. We have a retarded son - cause- doctor on drugs left in labor 36 hours. By the way no honeymoon or wedding night- funeral instead.
Our ideal trip/honeymoon would be to get remarried in Las Vegas right on the strip with a lot of laughter and happiness around to help us to celebrate. Of course a dinner at one of the best restaurants and a luxury suite looking out over Vegas. Lots of money to game and chance to play poker with the big boys. A chance to go back and start over.  Jessica Spenner  Granger IN

It had always been my dream to give my family the best vacation they ever had. However, the events leading up to it were more than a little bit hectic. All of my children came with us. John and I have a seven year old son, Tommy, better known as the 'wild child' and our thirteen year old girl Emily, or the 'book worm'. My divorced parents were brought along, as I hoped to reignite their old feelings (plus I neede some babysitters). Everything started fine as we left the airport. Once we arrived at the hotel, I hired Emily to keep an eye on Tommy while John and I scoped out the local tourist sites. Barely looking up from "The Mummy", she waved me off. However, when we returned, we found my daughter disheveled and the place a mess. She exclaimed that she just looked away for a second and then Tommy disappeared. We frantically asked everyone if they had seem him. My parents took one car while John, Emily, and I took the other. We checked the one place Tommy could not shut up about the Monte Carlo. We headed their as fast as we could. Then to my suprise I saw my son standing up on stage. I hurried as fast as I could and swept him into my arms. I stared at the audience with gasps on their face. When I finally turned around to see my idol, Wayne Newton. He siled and complimented me on my affection toward my son. Then I was offered a front row seat to the show. As it started I turned to see my so called divorced parents to find them dancing to the music. My husband and daughter joined us at the table. wendy gallo  white oak PA

The Vegas Dream Vacation for me would be first getting picked up at my door by a limo. Then getting to fly frist class both to Vegas and then back home. My next dream stop would be at the Bellagio or Ceasars. But of course I would have to stay in one of the most expensive rooms available. I would then like to tour the area by day and spend each night in the casinos. Just getting the opportunity to have the best of the best for one vacation in my lifetime would be a dream come true.  rickie ray  gilbertsville PA

The next time we visit Nevada, I'd like to fly first class, rather than travel in the front seat of our family car with a gunman in the back seat. It would be lovely to schedule our trip in advance, rather than on the spur of the moment, at a kidnapper's whim. Landing at the airport in Las Vegas would be such a treat, compared to finally reaching a truck stop in northern Nevada, and not knowing where in the world we are. Taking a limo, even a luxury shuttle bus to our hotel, would be so much more relaxing than being escorted to the police station by an officer to file a crime report long after midnight. Sliding down into the silky sheets of an air-conditioned suite at the Bellagio would be the ultimate way to fall asleep, compared to laying on the last available bed in town with my husband, staring wide-eyed at the cracked plaster ceiling of that casino's tiny bedroom, while trying to figure out how we escaped with our lives. Spending a week in Las Vegas wining and dining and going to sold out shows would be the perfect way to enjoy Nevada. It would certainly beat leaving town after two hours, because we can't sleep, grabbing a pancake breakfast at a tiny cafe, and driving 600 miles back home again. Since our previous visit to Nevada was obviously unplanned, the next time we go, we'd like to be the ones to call the shots!  Mrs Rice  Portland OR

Become a millionaire in LV.  Joseph Bruckman  West Seneca NY
