I would love to win a vacation to vegas ive never been there. im from tn so it would be a great time and a good break.  jessica butcher  limestone TN

Our dream Vegas vacation would begin with sliding a small amount of our money into a very loose slot machine at The Palms only to win the largest jackpot ever won there! We would then be escorted to our ultimate suite, you know, one of those that the big Hollywood stars usually occupy? Once there we would be catered to like celebrities until our limo arrived to take us wherever we wanted to go! We would first have to visit the Grand Canyon, which we have not seen in any of the 6 yearly visits we have made to Vegas! Then it would be off to the Hoover Dam, Red Rock and Valley of Fire! We would then be taken to Lake Mead for a romantic dinner cruise meant for only 2, however, we would be too engrossed in the scenery to eat! We would then head back to the Spa at the Palms for relaxing Shea Butter Body Buff followed by a Plush Papaya body facial! By now it's time for dinner which would be at Prime in the Bellagio where we would indulge in the steak and seafood while enjoying a glass of fine wine. Evening entertainment would consist of signature cocktails served at the Tabu located in the beautiful MGM Grand hotel, with no need to count the drinks, the limo will be waiting for our departure!
As we all know, living a day in the life of a celebrity can be very rough, so it would be time to retire to our room for some well needed rest...only to get up in the morning and do it all again at many of the other attractions Vegas has to offer! We might even consider taking up permanent residency in the great state of Nevada! That would make the most Awesome Vegas vacation for us!  Cindy Foster  Fort Wayne IN

We are an average American family and while my husband works tirelessly to provide us with a wonderful & blessed life, we don't have a lot of money. That means we don't get to take many family vacations. So, my dream vacation would be to go to Vegas with my family. I love that Vegas has attractions that are so family oriented and also caters to the grown-ups too. There's always something for all of us to enjoy together and there's plenty of ways for me to spoil my husband and show him just how much I appreciate all that he does for us. It would be, without a doubt, a dream vacation for my entire family and one that we would never forget. Adrienne Wells  Dover OH

i have never been to las vegas, alaways broke.I would love to go some time ,check out all the sites and casinos.it would be a great vacation and great to explore new and famous place like
that.i have heard so much about it, can only imagine the fun and excitement..i do hope to go there soon. and it would be great  christine arce  beaumont CA

Upon landing at the airport in Las Vegas, me and my friends would be greeted by the most handsome men and whisked away by limo to our hotel. While in the limo we would enjoy champagne and a variety of colorful fruit. We would stay at the Bellagio in a penthouse suite where we would have a masseuse come to the room and give us all massages. Then we would do some shopping at the Cesar Palace mall and buy a luxurious outfit for the evening. We would have dinner at the restaurant at the Paris Casino in the Eiffel Tower. After dinner we would have a limo take us to the helicopter pad for a little adrenaline rush before we hit the clubs. Finally the night would be spent at Rain the club in a VIP booth with non-stop Grey Goose. The next day we would sleep next to the pool and enjoy some cool drinks. After such a busy day we would spend the day in the spa recuperating. We would have a seaweed detox wrap, especially after all the alcohol and sun. Finally in the evening we would head to the casino to play craps and blackjack and have some drinks at Mirage. The final day would be spent relaxing, with a chance to enjoy the golf course and play 18 holes. This would be a perfect vacation, nothing else could make it more complete.  Janet Abou  New Haven CT

The wonders of las vegas never ceases. gotta love the R&R, gaming, wine, women, song and those loose slots. from the hustle and bustle of our daily live we need a break now and then to just let it all hang out and enjoy the adult playground that is the desert of las vegas. thanks. angelo diliberto  san dimas CA

This actually did happen to my wife and me! For our 25th wedding anniversary, we booked a 4-day 3 night stay at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. This was our dream vacation, as well as being our only real vacation since our honeymoon in Florida!  The first day my wife lost approximately $300, which I won back at the roulette table. The second night she lost about the same amoun't, and again, I recouped it on a 50 cent poker machine just before calling it a night. Then on night three, I won back her losses on a one dollar slot machine near our room elevators that I saw everyone win on each night. Each day it was a lose/win of the same amoun't - approximately $300.  Then came the morning of the forth day, I went to a roulette table; put a 5 dollar chip on 21 and $5 on each of the surrounding lines! I hit the #20, then increased my bet to $10, and hit the 21. I walked of the table with around $900. I vowed to spend no more than $20 dollars in a machine then quit for the rest of the day.  That night we went to see Howie Mandel, then took the "red eye" home. It was the perfect vacation, especially for me ( my wife would have liked to have won, also!  Fourteen years later and we haven't been back. Not because, we were afraid to mess with a perfect memory, but because we financially can't afford it! That's how I found this site - searching for a contest that would get us there for free!  Anthony  Solicito  Yonkers NY

I am entering my mother and father for the contest. They both have been helping me for the past 10 years with my oldest son who suffers from autism. Without the support that I get form them I have no idea how I would manage chandler and the new baby I have now. My mother has been very ill with heart problems and my dad is retiring in october after working at the post office for 42 years. My mom and recently watched both of my children in may so that my husband and myself could go to las vegas for some rand r. I would love nothing more than to win this vacation for them. My mom has always wanted to go and she has never flown so that would be an experience of a lifetime for her. My father and her have not had a vacation in so long that I cannot remember the last one that they went on. Please consider them for the winners of this contest. This would be the chance of a lifetime for both of them. Megan Short Lexington KY

My dream vacation to Vegas would begin with a limo ride to a wonderful Vegas casino, with complete VIP treatment upon arrival. I would have a luxurious penthouse suite with a Vegas view to die for. All casino employees would know my name and go out of their way to make me feel pampered. I would start by visiting a salon for a complete hair make-up makeover to follow with a chauffered shopping trip to buy new outfits for my time in Vegas. I would have a personal instructor to teach me how to gamble along with a thousand dollars to gamle with as well as a tour director to recommend the best of Vegas to visit. I would have dinner at the finest Vegas has to offer ( at least once). I would be in the VIP lines at the shows and hot spots and be treated like a celibrity for my time in Vegas. I would be treated to a helicopter tour of the city and dam. And best of all I would have my husband and freinds along with me to enjoy the ride. Viva Las Vegas Baby!  Michelle Dye  Colorado City CO

Oh Vegas! What other city in the world can compare with all the possibilities in this town? The dream vacation would start off at the Bellagio, this is of course after being picked up at the airport by a nice fancy limo! Oh boy if I just had 5 grand burning a hole in my pocket I could try gambling for the first time. Throw in some classic Vegas shows and all the fine dining and I would be in Heaven! Hey they might call it "Sin City", but us saints need time to relax and burn off steam just like everyone else. So after a few shows, the obligatory tours, and spending the rest of my cash at the tables...I could limp home with a few souvenirs and some fond memories. Especially if I could sneak away with that special someone!  Edward Gehlert  uniion MO

I believe I would benefit from a Dream Vegas vacation, because I've never been to the West Coast, and I always wanted to visit Vegas! I'm a "Vegas Virgin" and hear nothing but great reviews about the city, casinos, attractions, people, etc. I want to experience the true city that never sleeps and the one that actually has slots in the restroom (..so I hear!) I was just saying the other day how I want to visit, but with the economy the way it is, don't have the funds at the moment. I would love to just take time and do something for myself, let loose and have fun! I think the first thing I would want to do is just take a stroll on the strip, just to see what everyone talks about; take a dip in the pool, then have dinner and visit a show. Before I hit the clubs for the night, I'd gamble on the slot machines working my way up from the penny slots to the quarter slots! (lol.) I'd def. have to fit that famous coaster on the hotel top into my schedule and rent a car to visit local shops along the strip and outter areas of the city. Please make my overdue Vegas vacation dream come true!  Nicole Roy Bensalem, PA

My dream vacation would be to be able to fly first class to vegas and stay at the ceasars palace hotel with 5000 spending money, all meals and transportation included. would love to be able to see the latest malls all over vegas and may get to go up to green valley to try out the slot machines there.  Vernalyn Sadaba  honolulu HI

My dream Vegas vacation would be to fly out by private jet or first class commercial, be picked up by a limo and taken to The Wynn where I would have a top notch suite for the next ten days. At night I would take in all the best restaurants and shows, I dearly want to see Cher
and Bette Middler. During the day I would sight see, do the Helicopter full day ride, see Hoover Dam, Sam's Town, travel down to Laughlin for a day, eat at all the best buffets, definitely gamble as I love to gamble and hopefully would win a jackpot. Also I would want to indulge in some spa treatments for my sore body, especially my feet. A driver would be nice to be taken all around to the best restaurants and shows and sites. I Love Las Vegas! I am coming back in April no matter what, hoping Cher will still be doing her show. Also want to see Cirque du Soleil and Brooks & Dunn. I would love to see everything, be pampered and catered to, enjoy the best food in the finest accommodations, all at No Charge!  Janet Fetting  Cochrane WI

I feel my ideal dream Las Vegas trip would be to experience Las Vegas and all its glory. I would love to travel to the top of the Stratosphere Hotel and just look around to see Sin City at its best. From there I would like to go to the Bellagio and just stand outside so I can watch the Fountain show that they are so famous for and then run over to the Mirage Hotel to get a good look at their world famous man made Volcano. I would like to catch a show or two maybe one of the cirque de soleil or one of the headliners shows. Then to experience the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam something I have never ever seen before. Lets not forget the night clubs I have heard so much about like Blush, Studio 54 and ofcourse the Moon and Playboy I do love partying. Well, I was told that you can't say you have done Las Vegas if you don't try your luck at a little gaming my weakness is the slots but I have a little addition for Poker. To be honest just to be able to experience Sin City would be one of my dreams come true. Thank you for considering me for this contest. Shavonia Pinder  Nassau  BS

Las Vegas is one of the most magical cities in the world...the lights, the excitement, the possibilities! I have vacationed there many times over the years, and although I have never hit the big jackpot, I have always had a fabulous time. It seems that Lady Luck is on my side though because it just so happens that I stumbled upon the man of my dreams while surfing the internet last year and, yes, he lives in Las Vegas! After almost a year of e-mails and phone calls, he flew to meet me for the first time in person at my home in Georgia! Magic! I knew this was the man I wanted to spend my life with! Our families have not met yet, but our relationship has a life of its own. We cannot wait to marry and start our real life together, in Las Vegas! It's both of our dreams to visit Paris together one day, but that is simply not a practical destination for a wedding that includes our families. The Paris Hotel is though! Our dream would be to invite our friends and family to celebrate our love at The Beatles Love Cirque Du Soleil Show at The Mirage Hotel on the eve our wedding. The following day, we would marry under the Eiffel Tower at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel at sunset! After a dream vacation wedding to my Dream Guy in a dream city, what more could a girl ask for?   Samantha Livingston  Marietta GA

Dream destination...Hoover Dam.  Dhananjay Devdikar  Lake Mary FL

For starters I have never been Anywhere!  and when I say "anywhere" that pretty much sums it up! I've never flown in an airplane! The thought of Vegas sounds so exciting, my fiance & I have
been discussing planning our wedding there but having just moved across the country to Michigan from the South to be closer to his family & just aren't able to afford the trip right now. I have raised three children, divorced and now single have finally met the true love of my life
-a retired naval officer who has given up the seas to be with me -he gave up sailing & we moved to his home state, Michigan so he could be closer to his parents-his dad is wheelchair bound after having survived a bout with cancer and a heart attack and his mom is the sole caregiver to his dad -she devotes all her time & energy to taking care of his him. My fiance, Dave and I want to have a memorable wedding and be able to have Dave's parents along to add some sunshine to their lives..the two of them have an upcoming 50th wedding anniversary and mentioned wanting to renew their vows when Dave & I tie the knot! So we were thinking how great it would be to enjoy the event together when I happened upon your contest! None of us have ever had the opportunity to visit Las Vegas. So for me the ultimate Vegas vacation would be to fulfill my dreams of the perfect wedding and see Dave's parents fulfill their dreams as well by renewing
thier vows -and all of us be able to share such a special event together as a family! Dave and I have been through many trials in the past two years just to be together.  v s  marshall  MI

i want to win this trip to get away from boston ma.  peter filosa  medfield MA

Having never bee to Vegas I'd say my dream vacation would be as follows. Stay at the Mirage being sure to see the Barry Manilow and Penn & Teller show. See the Fremont Stree light show
and of course gamble. To make it the best vacation ever I'd love to have my husband, daughters and their husband/fiancee with us. Flying out there first class and loving every minute of it.  Vickie Johnson  Columbia Heights MN

the best las vegas vacation ever would be simple and easy. Seeing the sites, seeing the shows, playing the games that are what makes vegas the best place to go each year. My wife likes to
shop and i like to golf but mainly spend time together seeing the sites and the people of vegas. the other thing is to bring back something to remember our great vacation which will then always bring us back for more. ken lam  toronto ON Canada

My husband and I stayed at Lake Las Vegas for our 25th anniversary. It was gorgeous!  Jeanine Price  Las Vegas NV

With endless money to spend on a spree Or to have to gamble Sounds like a lot of fun to me.
I'd love a penthouse suite with a view Along with a spa day for two. Be served the finest food and drink. Go shopping for a high dollar faux-fur mink. Splurge on endless jewels. Lay out by a lavish pool. A limo to pick me up for a show. All dressed up and ready to go. A million dollar jackpot would suit me just fine. That will fund me for the next time!  Viva Las Vegas  kellee  church  platte city MO

My Dream Vegas Trip would be getting married in Vegas everyone talks about it but I do not know anyone who actually has gotten married in Vegas, I have been engaged for two years
and our lives are so fast paced a wedding, getting pampered and having so much to do would be a dream, I would love to drink, eat, gamble, swim, have a day at a spa and whatever I want whenever I want. Amy Varela  Burton MI

My idea of a dream come true Vegas Vacation would be to arrive any day of the week, any day of the year because Vegas is fabulous..... Always. It doesn't matter when you arrive, you'll never
want to leave! (Thats my motto.) I would love to spend 2 weeks in Vegas, soaking up the sun and seeing the sights. There is always so much to see and do, it seems theres never enough time to do it all. I like to venture into all the different casinos, they are all so different and amazing. In the past my friends & I made it our mission to enter into every casino on the strip for at least 1 cocktail. To prove our success, we collected a cocktail napkin from every establishment. That was 10 years ago, to this day, I still own the scrapbook with all the 'proof' of our adventure in Las Vegas. I am now married, my missions are a bit different now, but
Vegas is still my choice of destinations. Thankfully my husband enjoys it also. He loves to golf at Cascata, but dreams of golfing at the Wynn (which I understand is only open to hotel guests). I would love to make that dream come true for him. So, my dream vacation would include
unlimited golf at the Wynn followed by good food, great entertainment and beautiful sights! With a bunch of gambling stuffed into the trip too!  Debra Young  Orting WA

At the last family Christmas Party, my wife joking said she wanted to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary July 3, 2010 by being married by Elvis in Las Vegas. Our daughter called to say she has started a saving account to pay for her family of six to go to Las Vegas. I guess we will show up after all.  James Allen  Gadsden AL

The most ideal Las Vegas Dream Vacation would be going out west with my adult kids. It would be a dream come true to stay on the 18th floor of one of the famous hotels on the Vegas Strip.
After riding all the roller coasters, it would be excellent to go the the Billboard Music awards and mingle with rock stars, and maybe even meet a few. After watching a classic red, western sunset, amidst the snow capped mountains, we would walk the Vegas strip among the lights and gamble in the Casinos. The next day we would all enjoy the wonderful hotel swimming pool
and buffet food. And then we would drive out to North Vegas and catch a glimpse of the Air Force Thunderbirds practicing overhead, in a beautiful blue sky. That would be my Dream Vegas Vacation!  Joanne Hunnell-Dryburgh  Altamonte springs FL

 My dream Vegas Vacation would be to get a suite at one of the nicest hotels and receive spa treatments daily after being down in the casinos. Room service for every meal- limo rides all
over town. hot tub in my room- Helicopter ride over All Of Vegas - and the Grand Canyon.. Meet Elton John.  Fayeann Reed  Avon IN

My dream Vegas vacation is really a reality in the making. My fiancee and I would arrive on a Monday with our two handsome boys and close family & friends, where we would be staying at the Excalibur hotel in a very simple but nice room, I say this because why waste a beautiful room and money if your going to be doing everything but spend time in your room. The week would consist of everything (that children can do) from magic shows, mini shopping sprees, aquariums, and a road trip to the grand canyon. On the Friday we would wed in the beautiful
Excalibur chapel, which is anything but simple, but very elegant and mostly romantic without all the cheesy details...like Elvis. The family would then dine in a Vegas original restaurant and feast with no worries. Later the kids would make their way back to the hotel with the older
adults and we would make our way down the strip in dress and tux. Every business on the strip would receive a visit from the newly weds. The night would be simple and fun as well as the trip in whole. The next week of course is when the kids go back to Canada and the adults come out and play...what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!  Shy-Anne Thorne  winnipeg MB Canada

Some of the things I'd in Las Vegas if I had lots of money. and that'll happen, when? Who knows.  Zeir Redzic  Las Vegas NV

Every girl dreams of that perfect fairy tale wedding… in a white dress, hair and make-up all done. To hear the hussle and bussle of the arriving guests, the sweet smelling flower girls, to feel the anxiety of all your months of planning coming to fruition, what a bitter sweet moment hoping all goes well while enjoying this life changing moment. My fiancé and I wont have our families around to witness us saying our vows on our wedding, because we will be having our wedding in a chapel in Vegas! Now how many people, outside of the states and who are not eloping, can say that? I have no idea where I would get a wedding gown from or get my hair and make-up don . . . But I am not too stressed after all its Vegas, a city that doesn’t sleep I will have these things available. What a dream… not many will get the opportunity in their life-time. Wow, the thought makes me smile.  Leaving the quiet of the Grand Canyon to enter the electric wonderland of Sin City driving down the splendour of the Vegas ‘strip’…. Aaahhh ! So much to see yet so little time. I love the tv series Las Vegas and Ocean 11, 12 & 13, now I don’t have to imagine the towering hotels and gorgeous fountains, I get to see them for myself!  My dream vacation in Vegas, is simply to get there and savour the remarkable sights, sounds and taste of it all, it would have definitely been the cherry on top if Celine Dion were still performing, but good thing is we will get to attend a cabaret show. I guess we took too long to visit this amazing place.  Ramona Reddy  Johannesburg ZA

Las Vegas isn't just a vacation spot to me; it’s also my destiny and the beginning of the rest of my life. The woman that I will be going with is someone that I have been in love with for 18 years, but have never been able to be with romantically. Much like Romeo and Juliet, we are 'star-crossed'. There have been years that have gone by that we haven't seen or talked to each other, but both were thinking about the other. We knew that it was a matter of time, no matter what situation we were in, that we would get that one chance to speak the words in our hearts that longed to be said. The two of us decided that we wanted to take a trip to Las Vegas last year as both a much needed vacation in our individual lives and as a chance to spend time alone together. Our dream trip would begin with a limousine picking us up from the airport and a long, slow ride down the Strip to a wonderful restaurant with good food and even better atmosphere. After the last drop of champagne is gone and the napkins lay on the table we would hit the open Nevada air arm in arm and watch a famous show, such as Tony and Tina's Wedding. A casino would be the next stop. We would visit the New York, New York, or the Bellagio, some place where we've only seen in movies and spin and shuffle the night away together until we entered the hotel suite to hold one another as we remember the fantastic evening we had and dream about the next great adventure that would await us in the morning. As everyone knows, Las Vegas cannot be experienced in one night.  Rob Newbold  Toledo OH

Since I'm already planning my wedding in Las Vegas in the near future, my dream vacation would start with first class airfare, stretch-limo pick up from the airport for me, my fiance, and our four kids (teens), followed with a stay in a three-bedroom penthouse suite in the hotel with the best view of the strip. The next day, as we would be walking the strip taking in the grandeur of the hotel shows on the outside, Criss Angel would appear out of nowhere and involve
our sons in one of his most craziest illusions ever that was being taped for a future show. Criss would then give us complimentary floor seats at his "Believe" Cirque du Soliel show and entrance to the "after party" as his special guests on our last night in Vegas. Star-struck, we continued down the strip. A production company was in the midst of filming CSI:Las Vegas (my favourite show) and asked us all to be extras. We all had bit parts. A modelling scout happened to notice our two stunning daughters and asked if they would like to do a modelling shoot for a really "sick" clothing line. After dinner at Planet Hollywood, we go back to the penthouse where the boys could play all the video games they wanted and us girls would have the full spa treatment. The next day my fiance and I would be married at the cutest little chapel where we would all wear clothing bought at the most lavish wedding shop. That night, the kids would stay in the penthouse while my new hubby and I went to the hotel casino to play the highest progressive slot machine in Vegas and hit the jackpot of $75 million. Now that is my dream come true! Viva Las Vegas!  Pamela Lomack  Ingersoll ON Canada

My idea of a Las Vegas dream is to finally get my wish and live in Vegas within the heart beat of the Strip.  Then every day I could wake up and feel part of the city I love.  Linda E.  San Francisco, CA
