I finally made my first trip in december at age 48 and fell in love! My ideal trip would be to go back with all my friends and family and be able to spend enough weeks to enjoy all that
Vegas has to offer without worrying about having enough cash and time to do it! To be able to enjoy all the sights of the strip,the casinos, the shows,the night life,downtown and also see all the beautiful nature that is outside of town.To do this with all the people that I love the most and
that are important to me is my dream! It would be so wonderful to share the pure joy that I felt being in Vegas instead of having to come back and try to explain it when words and pictures cannot ever do it justice! I simply am in total love with Las Vegas and can't wait to be able to
return!  Cathy Philipps  Blaine MN

My ideal Las Vegas trip would include an all-inclusive package, where meals, drinks, and activities are included. This is great for the hotel since the customers aren't going to other
places for food. I would also love to see Criss Angel live. Preferably with a discount from the hotel. I'd like to see more theme park type places, like Universal Studios at Las Vegas. It would bring the whole family there, as opposed to just adults.  Jan Valdez  Chicago IL

May 8 is my Birthday I want to see Las vegas the lights the shows the night life the casinos  kristi hudson  kalona IA

My personal Vegas Dream Vacation consists of a vacation for me and only me. I would pack my bags and be on my way for a revitalizing time of relaxation and recharging. Upon my arrival, I would check into one of Vegas' posh hotels. I would relax for awhile before venturing to a casino and trying my luck at a few hands of poker. A delicious meal would be consumed followed by an entertaining show. After a quiet night of sleep with no husband snoring or children waking me, I would wake up refreshed and ready to enjoy a day of pampering in a
Vegas spa. After I am recharged, I would take in the sites of the strip, do some shopping, and enjoy the fountains of the Bellagio. The next day would be spent resting and gambling before I pack my bags and prepare to return to the real world. Although Vegas is a city of sensory overload, I believe it would also be an incredible place to relax, unwind, and rediscover myself!  Judy Neyman  Butler PA

My wife and I are celebrating 15 years Together. We have 5 children who are wonderful many sacrifices had to be made to provide effectively for such a large family. We would love to visit vegas and experience the shows, food, and entertainment. We feel since the children are older now its our time.  Lee English  Lithonia GA

It would be to experience vegas life & shows with my boyfriend and our best friends (they're a couple). The women want to surprise the men and take them to vegas for their birthdays which
are both in June!  Samantha Martin  Calgary AB Canada

 have limited opportunities to travel and I think that the ultimate vacation would be to travel to Las Vegas and see what Sin City has to offer me. I have heard so many things from friends
who have traveled there and it seems as though this would be the ideal place for me and my spouse to visit.  Shelia Coleman  Petersburg VA

My dream Vegas trip would include staying at either Wynn, Vdara, or Bellagio, although I would stay at Aria again! I adore the shows, especially the Cirque Du Soleil, so I would see "O,"
"Zumanity," and "Le Reve." I would also catch the Blue Man Group, and perhaps "Jubilee!" Walking around on the strip, while taking in the sights and sipping an oversized "Eiffel Tower" mixed drink can be tiring, so a visit to my hotels spa (gold package, of course!) would be in order. I would also enjoy a helicopter tour, and one's typical Vegas tourist enjoyments - the Bellagio's fountains, the Stratosphere, exclusive shopping and the exhibitions at the Luxor. It's just impossible to put a dream Vegas trip in text - there is so much to do, and Vegas is an
experience that words can hardly describe. The strip is truly a whole other world!   Jennifer  Baggett  Lawton OK

My name is Trevor Paul. I just want to tell you now, I've lied about my age, but I need to tell you what would be the best vacation ever. Im from Las Vegas originally, but my family moved out
to Missouri 3 years ago. But back in Las Vegas, Nevada, the girl I love is waiting for me. And if you don't believe it, I'm sorry, but you can call that number I've listed and ask me. I love her so much and I can't afford to fly myself back out to Vegas. I'm calling to the people who read these
reports. I don't deserve to go to Las Vegas than anyone else who writes these things. But please consider us. I love my girlfriend so much and I would do anything to see her again. Anything. And I don't if you've ever been in love, but its an emotion that has made me go do a number of odd jobs to make money so i can buy a plane ticket to see her again. Love makes me sit here and right this. And if you want to know the perfect Vegas Vacation, I'd love to go back to the 702 and see my girlfriend on May 6th and take her to the A Day to Remember show that night. That's all I want. I want to see my girl again. I swear, this would make her world if
I came home and she got to see me. So please, consider all the people who fill these out for a stupid vacation, then consider me, Trevor Paul. Consider my girlfriend Madison. Consider how my heart aches to see her again. Please make my dream vacation come true. Thank you for your time, and God bless.  Trevor Paul  Osage Beach MO

Because of the tough economic times, I am dreaming of leaving the hawaiian islands to vacation in the excillerating Las Vegas. To get away from the daily hustle and bustle and to wake up in the city of lights and where dreams are made of is such a delight. I would love to have a chance to stay in a luxuorious hotel and treat my wife to a week of lavious living. A lifetime is too short, therefore, I believe that we should antipate that ours dreams will come true. Aloha...  Roger Nitta  Waianae HI

Hi my deram is jounrey in to the las vegas Its very beautiful city to visit. I wil be very lcuky wehn I have visit this place in future if I win contest.   Pranav Brahmbhatt  Baroda  India

Overnight stays on Strip and Downtown Fremont Street. Touring the Neon Museum and a day trip to Hoover Dam. One Day slot tournament, and renting a car to go north of Las Vegas to visit
the natural hot springs in Ash Springs, Nevada for a day of relaxation and rejuvenation. Visiting friends in Alamo, Nv where my sister that had past away last year had lived. An evening of comedy and dinner show of magic. Water shows and free attractions when not gambling throughout the down. Going off the strip and do the Nascar driving experience. Also visit las
vegas during the Nascar week. I love las vegas and always go whenever possible.  Janet  Furman  Muskegon MI

My dream Vegas vacation would start by flying first class to Vegas and having a limo waiting for me and three girlfriends. We would be staying at a skyloft at the MGM. First we would visit the spa and for a massage, manicure and facial. Next we would go back to our room and order a couple of bottles of expensive champagne and some treats from room service. Now we are feeling beautiful and happy. We would hit the tables for some gambling action and a few more drinks. How about a late dinner at AquaKnox at the Venetian and then drinks and dancing at the V Bar. We would roll in about Five am and sleep until noon in our cool dark hotel room. Breakfast from room service and time to hit the pool for a day of sun and fun. After swimming all day we're hungry and ready for the buffet dinner at the Wynn. Back to the room for a nap and then order Margaritas from room service and out at Midnight for some more table action and all night dancing. Sleep in until noon again and out to lunch at the outdoor café at the Paris and time for shopping, dinner and the Blue Man Group. Next day back to reality but not before hitting the slots at the airport and resting in our first class seats with a goodbye drink.  Lou  Sparks  Petaluma CA

A dream vacation in Vegas would involve two of my girlfriends, the most fancy and exotic clothes we can pack, and at least 7 days to enjoy Sin City. We'd have a limo waiting at McCarron to whisk us to our top-notch Sky suite at Aria. After a little gambling and
shopping, we'll see the erotic masterpiece, RA. We'll hit the strip before the stripclubs. At some point, we'll float into the sky for a hot air balloon ride to see the strip awaken with morning light. Each day's journey will be a feat to outdo the next.  We'll gamble and dance from one casino to the next? finding the best beats and bets to keep the fun rolling. A helicopter, a roller coaster, and practically anything on wheels (other than a police cruiser) will all add to the excitement. It's no holds-barred, and every night is ladies night! A little theme party may be in order as we escape the doldrums of reality and spice up the town. We're guaranteed VIP service at Pure since one of my girls is a dead-ringer for Katherine Heigl. Did I mention daily spa service? With caviar chasers, please! We'd be
perfectly happy dining at Sage, Craftsteak, and others that support sustainable, organic farms, but we are living it up here?.I'll bet the vegetarian even bends the rules for once. Vegas would be incomplete without the shows, which I'd like to see the best of: Love, Cher, Barry Manilow, Blue Man Group. I'm going to need some no-doz, and maybe another week of vacation? thanks, Boss!   Shannon Kitson  Tampa FL

My perfect idea of a vegas vacation would start with a suite at the Winn. The rooms are gorgeous. After checking in, being able to take in a good meal at Circo inside the Bellagio. They have fantastic Italina food. Spend the day shopping in the Venetian Shops. Do a trip to M&M world and just splurge on the cute products. Enjoy the evening watching Phantom which is a classic. After that go enjoy the night in a club having fun and then return to the suite to finish off the night by relaxing. Get up early the next day to see all the good casino sites on
the strip and enjoy more shopping and other great shows and restaurants. Take lots of pictures!  Sabrina Hodges  North Salt Lake UT

The ideal trip to Vegas for me would be to reward my son who just turned 21 and is currently a student at the University of Ky. Ideally we would stay at one of the finer hotel/casinos on the Strip (Wynn, Bellagio, MGM, Mandalay Bay, Mirage etc)and have tickets to the Beatles Love Show, possibly attend a UFC fight at the Mandalay or MGM and be able to dine at some of Vegas' better restuarants. I would also like to take my son on a helicopter ride over the Grand
Canyon and Hoover Dam and show him all that is fun to do in Vegas. My son has worked hard in school and I would like to reward him in some special way. Unfortunately I live on Social Security so my funds are limited. A trip like this would be great fun for my son and I. Thank you for your consideration.  David Ziegler  Ludlow KY

My dream vaction to Las Vegas would to hop on a plane from nashville, Tn,going to the city of bright lights of Las Vegas. Upon arrival with my Fiancee and friends, we will get off the plane to aboard the shuttle off to get our rental car, Head to the Hotel for check in, change into our wedding clothes and head for the Chapel to be married, aferwards we would start our vacation/honeymoon having lots of laughter, fun and seeing all the sights we can see until the next year we come back to Las Vegas, "Disney for Adults".  Sharon Mann  Columbia TN

The best vacation to Vegas would be for me to come there with a friend meet a wealthy gentleman who takes my breath away. We fall instantly in love and get married right there in Vegas and live happily ever after because it was the best rash decision either of us has ever made.  Donna Luciw  Drums PA

I have always wanted to visit Nevada and this would be a great opportunity for me.   Rebeka Reyes  roslindale MA

I am entering this contest for my sister Sandi. She is a single mom of three kids and is in desperate need for a vacation. After moving here four years ago from FLorida, this is the furthest west she has ever lived or traveled. She is an awesome mom. My brother was murdered and I was injured and she took care of me and brought me back to good health. She is out of work, takes care of me and her family, and goes to school full time. It would be a dream for her to go to Vegas. She has always wanted to travel there. Please grant my sister a chance of a lifetime to be pampered and treated like the Queen that she is in giving up her life so unselfishly for others. Thank you, Joe Wenk Jr.  Hazelwood MO

the dream vegas vacation would be to take me and my husband my mom and her husband and renew our vows and stay at the luxor and see chris angel.and tickets for circus circus for our kids.  vannesa martell  corona CA

The dream trip I would like to take is really simple, I want to move to Las Vegas and experience all the happening every day.  I dont want to come home, just enjoy enjoy enjoy.  I see no reason to fight the winters and all the dulldrums of the east coast.  Let me move to the sunshine and become a vegas citizen.  Dwayne Boston, MA

My dream trip to Las Vegas would be a with two of my BEST friends. Staying at one of the glamorous hotels, watching shows, eating at the finest restaurants, visiting attractions, shopping, cirque du soleil las vegas and of course the numeruous clubs and nightlife!   Marisol
Vazquez  Palm Bay FL

My Dream vegas vacation would be to have a condo for a whole week, see fabolous shows, Meet Criss Angel and see him perform, win Big of course, see all the beauty vegas has to offer and just overall have a fun relaxing vacation. Christi Williams   Tecumseh OK

I'd fly into McCarron airport with my two sons, husband, mom and dad. I've never been to Vegas with my family as an adult, only with my parents. The last time was my dad's 65th birthday, now he's 80. My husband and I have never been on a honeymoon so we feel like we're just married. Once my sons flew to a basketball game, so they're blown away by the flight, travel, people, lights, and sounds. The hotel is dazzling. After check-in, the guys stop off at sports betting in the hotel while my mom and I unpack us into our rooms. We'd meet for dinner at the Ratskellar. My folks reminsce about living in Germany in the 1950's and my kids see them as young lovers. I sing with the entertainment. My dad's shooting photos like crazy. During the trip, we'd hit Circus Circus and every casino on down the strip. The kids play, shop, sightsee, people watch and collect Keno crayons while my dad teaches my husband the fine art of Blackjack and craps. My dad still works 6 days a week so he needs a break. My kids finally see him relax. My mom and I get some time much needed girl-time to visit the mall for great shopping and the guys meet us for Chinese food. We watch every fountain and light show we see. We catch a show all of us love. My dad takes us downtown to visit Binions. One afternoon we must drive to Hoover Dam and sightsee but most afternoons are spent at the pool relaxing in the sun after a long freezing winter. The hardest part is packing for home. No one wants to leave. Everyone saw a different side of everyone else. We want our new connection to remain longer.  Elizabeth Bixby  Dunlap IL

This would be a great chance for me to actually take a vacation. I don't think I have taken a vacation and actually went anywhere in the past ten years. I have always wanted to visit Vegas and play the slot machines and actually win some money. But even if I didn't win anything it would be fun just to get away from Indiana. I would also love to visit with a friend that moved there years ago and works for Homeland Security. It's funny but I think everyone deserves a vacation or getaway from everyday life but, life is tough and we usually can't aford the "wants" and sometimes we can't even aford the "needs". But anyways enough of that, my dream Las Vegas Vacation would be to stay in a nice hotel with my wonderful partner and just enjoy seeing shows, maybe play some slots, dine out, and overall just go out and get wild and have a Great time and hopefully come home a few dollars more than I left with.  Babette Staley  Fort Wayne IN

It would be to stay at the Luxor and to see Celine Dion when she returns, for our anniversay on June 3, any year! We were there on our 40th and certainly can not afford it again for a while
unless we won the money. It would help both of us relax and enjoy each others company in a fun and exciting place. Food, fun, and entertainment would be a very special vacation, thank you for your consideration.  Mary Woodward  Muskegon MI

Walking the strip at night, seeing the stores and places I've only seen on TV. Eating at the top of the world at the stratosphere. Finding a club to dance. To feel like I am a celebirty in the hottest city in the United States. I want to hang out at the Paris and NewYork section and see the building that has the Prince "Logo". I want to see Stevie Ray Vaughn's saying on the hard rock cafe! Ride on one of those Italian-like boats in that cool store where the sky is painted on
the ceiling. To maybe be in one of the shows at night making it feel like it is a one-night only to see me! I guess I would say to have the bright lights of Vegas burn away the dull drums of a Southern IL Guy! I can only imagine riding in a crazy limo with a hot tub in it and I can shout,
"Vegas Baby!"   Gregory Sork  Ridgway IL

A dream vacation to Vegas would include a stay at the famous Venetian Hotel. During the 4 night 5 day stay, a visit to the stratosphere for dinner and afterward a death defying bungee drop
from the top of the Stratosphere Tower. With adrenaline rushing through, I would try my luck, and $5,000.00 that I brought for betting, at the craps tables and then play Keno on the slots. Afforded the opportunity to play Julia Roberts, I spend an afternoon shopping for an exciting dance night on the town, visiting all the hottest clubs at least 2 of the 4 night stay. A trip to Vegas would be incomplete without seeing "Elvis" sing somewhere and viewing the lightshow downtime where I would spend the night gambling in hotels like The Golden Nugget and surrounding casinos. Actually, with my winnings from the downtime casinos I would extend my
vacation 2 additional nights. Dressed to impress, I would see the newest shows Vegas has to offer, Perhaps one would be in the Luxor hotel where I could have a romantic dinner for two. With the money left over a private massage for two and a swim in my bedroom jacuzzu would finish my last night stay. I will order breakfast early, so I can pack and get ready for my first class plan trip home to Richmond, Virginia.  Tonya Jorgenson  King William VA

I work full time and I am also a full time mother and a vacation would be a dream for me. Denise Barrett  Lawndale CA

Flying into Mccarran on the early flight, renting an automobile and head on down to the RIO for the breakfast brunch, and after that a short drive to the strip, parking the car in the lot of the MGM as this is where we will be staying, it is at this time that we pick up our tickets for the Wayne Newton concert that evening, are really looking forward to that, in the process I am playing a few slots along the way, I am saving up to hit the casino later in the early morning, as I will not be sleeping much, only enough to recharge, after the concert will head down to the Palace Station for their pasta buffet simmered in white wine and tasting out of this world, and all the way through this I am sipping on Long Island Iced Teas, now after dinner we will head on down to catch Purple Reign in the Night Owl Showroom, a must see for Prince Fans, after this we will take off for Downtown and catch the Fremont St experience, at this point head into the Golden Nugget for some serious gambling, the game for the night will be craps, come on 7 11.
At this time we will head on down to the Stratosphere for the Sky Jump, this will be the ultimate thrill for the evening, and I suppose at this time, we will head on back to the room and after a fantastic evening, the wife and I will enjoy each others company before nodding off to catch a
few winks, upon waking up, we will go donwstairs for a mexican breakfast in the Cabana Grill, now it is time to drive to Lake Mead and sit in the sun for a while.  James Carbajal  Aurora CO

My dream Las Vegas vacation would emcompass several different phases. It has been my dream to return to Las Vegas (visited one time in 1974)and just see and experience all the growth, beauty, and excitement of all the new hotels and surrounding areas. I would love to visit all the casinos and shops in the major strip hotels but would also want to experience the original areas of Las Vegas that are filled with the history of the pioneers that made Las Vegas what it is today. I would be thrilled to renew my wedding vow with my husband (27 years of marriage) at one the wedding chapels that Las Vegas is famous for. Prior to the trip, I would research the restaurants that we would plan to dine in. I would also love to see the surrounding areas by helicopter and visit the nearest national parks. My days in Las Vegas would be filled with excitement, leading to evenings of gambling and dancing the night away. This trip would be "one of a lifetime" and would lead to many more in the future. We are also interested in exploring an investment property in Las Vegas so that we could return frequently with family and friends. Thank you for this opportunity to describe my "dream" vacation to Las Vegas. I look forward to it becoming a reality!  Dorina Soumastre   Cape Coral FL
