I would like to take a trip to Vegas with my fiancé, for 3 days, fly in during the afternoon, check in and enjoy a nice dinner at one of the great new restaurants, with a bottle of cabernet. Then we would see a show for and after wards enjoy the ambiance of Vegas at night. The next day (since I'm an engineer) we'd visit Hoover dam and then play some blackjack, and just relax. On the final day, we'd check out all of the hotels along the strip and visit Freemont Street before a final nice dinner, and a little more blackjack.  Peter Symonds  Davis, CA

I would love to be able to stay at the Venetian Hotel in the penthouse. That is my Dream Vacation for a stay in Las Vegas.  Bertha Mills  Los Angeles, CA

My dream vacation sun filled days around the pool nights of a million lights.  See the history of Las Vegas.  Glenda Smith  Peoria, AZ

I have longed for 43 years to go to Las Vegas. On a move with my folks at age 16 they stopped overnight and on we went. My wife and I of 38 years were unable to take vacations throughout our marriage and raising our children due to financial income. Barely enough to try to juggle the bills. I would love to take myself and my wife on our first trip, before she is totally unable to travel. She has medical problems and is disabled to work. I myself am not working, due to my ailments. So we live on a fixed income. I have always told her my life long dream was to be able to return to Las Vegas at least once before I died and to take her to let her see what the world has out there. She hasn't got to travel other than to help the daughter on the base in 29 Palms, California, with the birth of the grandson while the son-in-law was overseas, in Samolia. She didn't get out while there. So this would be a thrill of a lifetime to be able to win such a trip.  Daniel Bailey  Beaverton, OR

I have a dream vacation to go to Las Vegas for a college graduation present to myself as a reward for all the hard work I have put into school. I have completed one degree, an Associates in Medical Record Technology. Then in September I will complete a diploma in Medical Assisting. I do believe I have put a lot of effort, time, sweat and concentration in this degree. My dream would be a free flight for 2 to Las Vegas, free hotel stay for 3-4 nights, and a Las Vegas show to top off the excitement.  Ponda Knight  Monroe GA

My dream vacation, well I dream to make it to vacation time every year. I've been to Las Vegas five years in a role, but my dream is to go there and not to worry about spacing my money out for the week. To fly in a helicopter over the strip. To spend the day at the spa, getting a Swedish massage. To shop in the high scale shops. To see the best shows. And to eat at the best restaurant in town. I was married in Las Vegas in 1999 and it was the best. I always have fun and do a lot when I'm there, and every year is different and interesting, but these things would make it my dream vacation. My next trip to Las Vegas is on May 31st,and it will be our 5th. anniversary. Maybe this year some more of my dreams will come true!!!!  D ana Robinson  Loiusville KY

My dream vacation would be in the month of October when the weather in Las Vegas is just perfect. I would take my husband and my three young adult children and treat them to a stay at either the Bellagio or the Paris. We don't have much chance to all get together these days with them being in college and working and this would be a great opportunity for us all to relax, take in all the excitement of Las Vegas, and enjoy each other's company. We'd go to the best restaurants and shows and one day we would rent a car and see the city and surrounding area. It would be a blast!  Paula Jewell  Pine Island  MN

Hello.  Our dream vacation for me and my wife would be to fly to Las Vegas, enjoy the casino's, have good meals and most important would be to go and see Céline Dion show. We saw her many years ago in a shopping mall. She was a young star then but not the star she is today. We also would love to go and see the Grand Canyon and Hoover dam and then come back home. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to win.  Claude Langlais  Lachenaie  PQ  Canada

My Las Vegas dream vacation story:  I would be thinking I was on cloud nine, if I would win a dream trip to Las Vegas.  I have never been there, and I would be the happiest person in the world to win this dream come true.  I've heard about the beautiful lights, and the nicest people . I would be grateful just to get to Las Vegas, and try to win some money, to pay a lot of the doctor bills, we owe.  This would be a dream to come true. Sincerely,  Linda Henderson  Ofallon, MO

Just imagine flying over Vegas at night coming in for a landing and seeing all the hotels all aglow.  Checking in your hotel and hearing all the excitement around you. Then check in your beautiful suite, take a nice Jacuzzi dip, order some room service, relax a bit. Then dress in your finest and hit the casino. listen to all the sounds around you.  The people the lights and all the different games to play. Then that one slot machine catches your eye you start to play, then suddenly you hit the jackpot of a life time wow.  Your face is all aglow. Back to your room hit the Jacuzzi again this time with a companion.  Have a nice rest and start all over the next day.  Jerry Petardi  NYC, NY

I have never really been anywhere. So all I can do is dream about what a nice trip would be like and I have thought of Vegas before because I have friends that have been there.  I'm from a little town (really in the bush) so all the light and people ..... just makes me smile thinking about it. I love playing black jack I always (bug) everybody to bring me to a casino so I can try it.... it haven't went yet. I'm still young ()24 yrs old) I haven't had any money to go anywhere , because I just finish a 3 yrs nursing program, and I still have to by a car, move out..... still lots to do before I can afford to go on a trip. So my ideal Vegas trip would be..... a nice hotel room, entertainment/ dancing, SHOPPING a tour around town. I would just like to have a chance of seeing Vegas in real life instead of on paper.  To make this trip even better,.....I would like to propose to my boyfriend. thank you for the chance of participating in this contest.  Lisa Dawn Goudreau  Whitefish  ON  Canada

My dream vacation in Las Vegas, would take place during the first part of the year, when it's freezing in VT. I would stay at a different themed hotel each night. I would sample as many different buffets as possible, while taking a break from gambling on the slot machines. Every evening would be a different entertainment venue. This would have to occur over several weeks as there is so much to see and do in Las Vegas. The ultimate dream would include a bottomless bank account.  Louise Mongeon  Winooski  VT

Las Vegas is a dream. It is place where freedom is the magic word that can be seen in every corner of the street. It is a place where people don't know how to sleep under the shine of the stars. Anyone who will visit the place won't feel the urge to return to his place as the word fun can be felt in the real sense of its meaning. Mercy Omaking  Quezon City Philippines 

My dream Vegas Vacation consists of staying at a family friendly environment with all the comforts of home. It would be similar to a condo or a suite made to look like a 2-3 bedroom home complete with kitchen, dining room, living room, family room, etc. Then there would be family friendly/sightseeing events to do all day long. Areas where my children would get an education on the history of Nevada and its cities, so they could bring that information back to school. It would be one where even I would oohh and aah over the history, and be able to still be pampered and relaxed with Pilates and a spa experience.  Deborah Ward  Mesa AZ

To me the ideal Las Vegas Vacation would begin by flying first class round trip non-stop flight to Las Vegas with my husband this year as a 25th wedding anniversary present and to be greeted by a stretch Limo just for us and to drive down the strip at night to see all the lights( a lifetime dream for my husband) and to sip champagne. Then arrive at a really nice Hotel like the Venetian or the Bellagio or even the Monte Carlo and be able to stay in a room with a Jacuzzi tub. Plus have room service and enough spending money to play anything we like. I would also love to have a nice steak dinner at a nice steak restaurant. To be in Las Vegas and to be treated like royalty and have everything at our finger tips and a chauffer driven car to see the sights in Vegas and to see a show or two. This would be my dream vacation in Las Vegas.  Nancy Eaton  Venice FL 

To give full perspective to my ideal Vegas vacation, I must give you a little background. In September 1991 we had a stay booked in Vegas. Two days before we were to leave my wife was involved in a accident and the trip was cancelled because she required neck and back surgery. Trip not rescheduled. In 2001 we retired. Her because of failing health and me to care for her. She could still travel so we decided to spend a couple of years fixing up our retirement cabin and then take this long awaited Vegas trip and other sites not seen by her (she had been to 5 other states). To keep this in the 300 limit, I'll skip the details of what occurred next, but will just say my wife and best friend died on 6 July 2003. This then leads me to our Ideal Vegas trip. I'll admit that I'm being greedy in this, but I know she will be with me in spirit. Here goes: Round trip class A air; Suite at the Bellagio(?); Full comps for gambling, meals and a nice car to go to and fro. Viva Las Vegas!  Bill Williams  Indianola OK

Simple - my live-in soul mate and I have decided to get married, in Las Vegas. Ceremony at Excalibur, "Tournament of Kings" for dinner, balloon ride for a champagne toast and a winning slot machine!  Charon Rystad  Corpus Christi  TX

My dream Las Vegas vacation - would be to stay in the Bellagio or Venetian hotels. Not that they are better than any of the others BUT we have been to Vegas twice. I recently retired as an assistant from the school system after 31 years. And anyone familiar with the school systems know what assistants make. Both times we were there we stayed at the Westward Ho. Reason ? The rooms were reasonable. My hats off to them and a big thank you to them. But for one time I would like to stay at a BIG gigantic beautiful place and just be pampered. And while I am dreaming I'd have to dream and wish that I would win big time.  Carol Sherrod  St Cloud FL

My dream vacation in Las Vegas would be leisurely but fun. I would like to stay in a nice hotel and have enough money to play without having to worry about juggling money. I would love to get a massage and eat in a restaurant. I would love to go to Coyote Ugly and see if its the same as the movie. I would love to play Texas Hold'em with the bad boys of poker. I would love to get starry eyed watching all the glittering lights. I think that Las Vegas would be the perfect vacation. Sue Swonger   Hancock WI

My dream vacation would involve my x girlfriend and I, since the last time we were there we had a horrible time and broke up. Now we still are not together but I wish for the dream to bring her there for a surprise wedding (ours), nothing fancy for us just time together at any hotel on the strip. Breakfast in bed with rose pedals in the bath only like Vegas can do. 1 week stay with my new bride would be exceptional. Raymond Dufresne  VT

My dream vacation would be to have my wife be able to see all the shows, shop all the Malls in Las Vegas. To be able to do this without worrying about how much it's going to cost. We were Married in Las Vegas, in 1999.I would have everyone in our family come there for a second wedding. Because they did not come to the first. Bill Robinson Louisville KY

This is what I would like to have, a Las Vegas Dream vacation, to go and see the wonderful shows, eating at the wonderful restaurant, walk the strip on a nice sunny day and of course the best would be to be able to play the quarter machine for I cannot afford to play more with 8 children and only 1 husband that worked and worked 7 days a week and now looking forward to go on our 50th wedding anniversary coming up in 2 years.  I've been to Las Vegas but never won anything but a few hundred, that is it, but we do hear all the time oh I won but I guess its not me, yet to go and hit something to talked about , some people are lucky I guess my name is not lucky but I love my name, my husband is a diabetic and this February suffered a mild stroke but he his doing well. so would love to go and spend some of the dream money.  thank you.  Rita  Dufresne  Winooski,  VT

I would like to travel as I have never left Canada. I have heard so many things about Las Vegas and would like to tell me own story some day. I can not afford to put enough money away to travel so I am entering this contest.  Charlene Gara  Kitscoty AB  Canada

Las Vegas... hmmm... the city of every one's dream, the lights, the shopping, the gambling, and of course the extravaganza hotel's buffet, just wonderful. Party all night long, never died, that's Las Vegas.  Sian Foglia  Calgary  AB  Canada

My ideal vacation in Las Vegas consists of seeing many shows with my husband and three children. We are from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia; and although we love our home very much our children would love to see the miles of lights that are spoken about on the numerous TV shows now airing. We watch these programs and they are always in awe of the beauty that is to be seen there. I would love to be able to see their faces as they experience the excitement in Las Vegas. There are also educational things for them to experience as well. For example the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. These are things that we only see on TV and never imagine for them to see up front. One of my 4 year olds favorite sayings is "Viva Las Vegas". I would love for her to actually get to experience the reason why people from all over the world still repeat that phrase. I can only imagine their excitement while visiting places like Circus Circus, where they have the largest indoor circus in the world, and seeing the show "the Tournament of the Kings" at the Excalibur, with sword fighting on horseback and the fountains of the Bellagio, etc. I could go on and on about the things they would be elated to see but, of course, I would be over my 300 word limit, so I will just end it here and conclude by saying that I would enjoy nothing more than seeing the excitement of Las Vegas through their eyes and I look forward to the chance to do so.  June Parsons  Dominion NS Canada

I was married in Las Vegas 3 years ago, it was the time of my life, I felt like a princess. Everyone there was so nice and helpful. I could do it all over again, I've been wanting to go back soon. Or maid of honor and best man went with us and we had the time of our lives, no worries what so ever. Some day we will all get back there again, hopefully soon. I always recommend to any of my friends who are getting married, that this is the way to go, then I show them all my pictures. We were there for 5 days and it still wasn't long enough, so I must go back.  Becky Stearns  Bismarck ND

My dream LV vacation would be to arrive at the airport and have a stretch limo waiting for me, take me to Mandalay Bay where I would stay, I would first have a nice message and dinner and then a show the first night, ba-da-bing, the next morning breakfast in bed) enjoy the wave pool during the day and a nice dinner atop the stratosphere the second night then see all the free events on the strip, Bellagio fountains, the Mirage volcano, and Treasure Island ships. The third day a tour of Grand Canyon, Hoover dam and a night out dancing at one of the many great night clubs, the fourth day, a trip to red rocks and area 51 then back to the Rio for Tina and Tony's Wedding) to finish up with a night on Freemont street for the light show and a nice dinner and of course the wave pool everyday and I cant leave out the sauna. I'm sure I would find many other things to do in between, because there is never a dull moment in Las Vegas. Dennis

Wow! To visit Las Vegas is something I've dreamed about since I was a little girl! Since I was married at a very young age, I've spent all of my time working at the office and being a mom. And if you know anything about raising two very active boys and the closing of real estate loans; both can and have consumed my life. Both of my boys are now grown and have recently left home to start lives of their own, just like their father has done. Now that I've got the time to see the world, I can only hope that I will. I’ve not traveled much at all. I've seen some of Texas, some of Oklahoma and once, when I was little, my dad drove my siblings and I to Jacksonville, Florida. I spent the summer with my aunt, who worked all the time. I got to fly to Englewood, Colorado for training at my job last year, but since I was by myself and in a strange city, I didn't really get to see much more than the hotel walls and our regional office. I'd love to EXPERIENCE Vegas at it's very best and one day be able to tell both of my sons and both of my granddaughters that there is more to this world than Oklahoma City. And I’d like to tell them that "The City of Lights" is an excellent place to visit. I love people, architecture and excitement. I just know that Vegas offers all of these! Thanks for listening to my story. I have fun writing my dreams down. One day, I hope they’ll come true.  Carol Calvillo  Oklahoma City, OK

It was early Sunday morning when I arrived at the Las Vegas International Airport. It was an unscheduled stop and I had no idea where I was. The steward gave me a drink and I drifted off to sleep. Suddenly, I awakened. The captain told me a limo had arrived and I needed to go with the driver. It was an emergency. The Governor called and wanted me to be his guest. I looked out the limo window and witnessed gigantic skyscrapers with bright sizzling neon lights. Red, yellow, blue, pink and green. I saw water fountains illuminated under the lights. The sky shown like the Fourth of July. Quickly the limo stopped as I gasped at the splendor of the city. I arrived at the hotel and received instructions to wait in my room for a call. The Governor needed someone who had never been to Vegas to tell the Ambassador of the grandeur of the city. I was whisked away and taken to the hotel where I received the best appetizers and wines. I went to the casino and took in the shows. Gladys Knight sang to me. I stared in awe at the dancers with the shapely legs who could have been mistaken for sisters. I was amazed for I never dreamed a poor country boy would witness such extravagance. I played poker and slots and won. The Governor arrived with the Ambassador. I took them to the shows, hotels, and casino. The Ambassador was so impressed he made reservations for 6 years and gave me a job as personal host to entertain his guest whenever they came to Vegas. I sent a memo to the airport, "I'm staying indefinitely."   Jerry Myers   Nashville, TN

It has been along cold winter n upstate New York, even colder because I work outside building cell towers. I was always told as a kid to reach new heights but climbing 400 feet or more up a ladder to the top of a cell tower pulling equipment up with me is not quite what I had in mind. But a trip to Las Vegas isn't about me as much as it is about a woman I met a year and a half ago and her two girls. I love this woman and her daughters, Karly and Sandra so much. They have not been very lucky these last few years and a vacation to a place like Vegas would be a dream come true. Las Vegas has it all. A night out to wine and dine and gamble with Margaret and lots of attractions and things to do with the girls would be heaven. I work hard at what I do and it is a very risky job and I make okay money. Up till now I have worked hard to try and provide some nicer things for the three girls that are now part of my life and hopefully always will be. A trip to Vegas is beyond my means right now, without neglecting the important things I must take care of. But if we were to win a trip to Vegas it would be highlighted by my asking this beautiful woman to become my wife, partner, for life. SO I can only try and express my dreams and hope that they may be realized. Thank you for this opportunity to try. I should mention too, I am sending this from San Francisco, where I have worked the last month and a half, separated from my three favorite people in the whole world and a vacation like a trip to Vegas would be a perfect ending to a long separation.  Tom Maloney  Owego NY

As a very hard working nurse director, I would love to just have a few days of R&R in Las Vegas. I would love to bring my husband so we can have a good time playing the slots, trying out all the different restaurants, and I would LOVE to see Celine Dion in concert. I would have DREAMY nights staying in the Luxor, as I enjoy Egyptian culture. An afternoon in a jacuzzi spa and a great backrub would be in order for those tired nurses bones. The excitement of just being in Las Vegas is my dream!  Denise Jones  Dover NJ

Ideally, my vacation in Las Vegas would include 3 of my friends and myself. We would all fly to Las Vegas from our respective states and meet up at the hotel. My uncle would for once be generous and thoughtful and offer my friends and I free rooms at the MGM Grand. We'd stay in 2 rooms with a bird's eye view of the Las Vegas Strip. During the day we'd shop, go from hotel to hotel gambling and winning enough money to pay for the trip and take a little extra home. We'd see magic acts, comedians and celebrity impersonators. Since together time can sometimes be too much, we'd venture off in pairs or relax alone by the pool sipping a cool tropical drink. My friends and I would also allow time for day trips including a helicopter ride and indoor skydiving. When all was said and done it would have been a lovely time together with memories we'd always cherish and of course, we'd start planning our next vacation together.  Lisa Berton  Canton MA

My most ideal trip to Las Vegas would be to renew my vows with my husband of 16 years at the Venetian. I've always wanted to travel around the world and in Vegas I would feel like we have. Being a romantic at heart i am especially fond of Italy so it would be a dream for me to be able to do redo the vows there. I would love to surprise my husband and I think Las Vegas would be the perfect place to be for a romantic 2nd honeymoon. Karyn Quick  Springfield OR

Pinch me! I'm dreaming!  I dreamed that my husband and I won an all-expense paid, long weekend getaway to Las Vegas, Nevada.  We had a perfect flight and watched the Westbound movie, "Honeymoon in Vegas," which already made us change one of our plans. Now we just had to experience "The Flying Elvi" for ourselves.  Taken by limousine to our luxurious hotel, we first relaxed with a dinner and a refreshing drink. Then we were whisked off to the Celine Dionne "A New Day" phenomenon, performed in the magnificent Caesars Palace. We were given back stage passes and met the Diva herself.  Afterwards we rode up and down the strip and were awed by the nightlife and beautiful lights. That’s when I realize that I'm not dreaming at all...this is really happening to me.  We sleep in late the next day, ordering room service, just for the experience. The next day we stop at the Las Vegas Hilton to experience Paramount Park’s "Star Trek." My husband would not leave town without being able to brag that he’d been there.  We finish the evening with a fantastic dinner, followed by a romantic evening back at our suite. Sleeping in late next morning, our wake-up call tells us it’s time to go back home and we are already reminiscing about all of our new memories. After getting settled into our seats on the plane, we begin reviewing the over 300 digital pictures we took. We laugh together as the Eastbound in-flight movie is announced, "Viva Las Vegas."  For weeks after that friends ask what this silly grin is on our face. Once we tell them they must vacation in Vegas they reply, "Sounds like a dream!" Ann Betts  Charlotte NC

"Dream a little dream.." The back seat of our stretch limousine is so large you could put a blackjack table and dealer in here! What a sensational way to be transported from the hustle of the airport after our long flight from the East Coast. Las Vegas, here we are and now for our first night of fun, frolic and adventure. First, we need nourishment. Airplane peanuts and soft drinks are insufficient now that we are in the City of Sumptuous Dining, so we decide on the amazing French buffet at Paris in the Provencal restaurant. After feasting on outrageously delicious selections, we stroll out of the restaurant and past the shops and boutiques. Before leaving Paris, we try some quarters in the Slingo machines and Voila!, a one thousand coin jackpot. This certainly is a wonderful ending to our Paris stop! We decide next to try our hands at cards. As the limousine turns into the Mirage, the fluorescent volcano erupts. This can only be an omen of good fortune ahead. We find a seat at the $5/10 Texas Hold-em table and peek at our first hand, two red aces! All players are eager to bet their hands and the flop reveals the two black aces and a three of clubs. An unbeatable hand, a sizable pot and an hour of successful and enjoyable poker at the fabulous Mirage has begun! After leaving the Mirage as winners, we decide to take in some of Las Vegas at night, and instruct our accommodating driver to take us to the Stratosphere. There is no better place to appreciate the beauty of Las Vegas at night than from the observation deck at the top. We whisk our way up and outside, only to feel the warm air and soothing breeze.  Rob Hunt  Wolcott CT

I just turned 21 and Las Vegas seems like the perfect place to celebrate! My dream vacation in Las Vegas starts with me winning a 3-4 day stay there including 2 free plane tickets and a free hotel stay at the Venetian for my boyfriend and I.  Sorry, no chapel marriage here... but definitely a trip to see Cirque Du Soleil. I heard it's one of the coolest things. I also NEED to see the fountain from Oceans Eleven. I think it's at the Bellagio. I've never been on a plane or left the lovely humid state of Michigan, so it'd be great to see a new state. I heard the desert is beautiful (and not humid), so I'd have to stop there too.  AND... of course I'd hit the slots, blackjack, and crap tables with about 50 bucks which is all have left after my student loans. I need to hit some kind of breakfast buffet too!  The trip ends with my boyfriend and I flying back to Kalamazoo, MI with tons of pictures, money, and cool souvenirs. Sounds like a dream to me.  Jennifer Young  Kalamazoo MI

I know this is pretty corny, but a dream trip to Las Vegas for me would be to take my mother there. She has been twice with my dad, which was just enough to get her hooked, but now my father does not want to ever go back, he says that he is ready to do something he has not done before. My mother is scared to death of traveling alone and not to fond of heights (even in an airplane). So I have very high hopes that before this year is over I will be able to get her back to Vegas, and since I have never been it will be a real treat to be able and share my new experience with my mom whom is also my best friend. I guess this is not what most people would consider a dream trip, but for me making my mom smile and being able to experience something new for myself well I just do not see how it could get any better. Wait, sure I do… one of us could hit a big jackpot while we were there. Then we could start making a trip to Vegas at least once a year but with any luck more times than that.  Melanie Taber  San Antonio TX

I want to win it a lot please pick us I always wanted to see las Vegas and I'm not living very good these days and I need some vacation off of my 2 jobs. I have a son that likes traveling and we hope we win thank you, if we don't win we will be sad but its ok bye!!!  Nancy Kelly  London ON Canada

Fly 1stclass from Chicago, ILL. Leaving McCarran airport via executive limousine. Arrive Bellagio to an executive suite. Within the Bellagio complex: in-room massage followed by dinner and a show.  The next day play in a poker tournament or game. The use of a cabana and entry to the nightclub(s). A tour, by the vice-president of the Bellagio complex, what the public can and cannot see backrooms / whale & top-floor suites. Bill Anderson  Chicago IL

I imagine my Las Vegas Dream Vacation would begin with a eventless flight into Las Vegas from here in Tampa, Florida. From there we would take one of those classy executive-looking, shorter, black limousines (With the tinted windows -of course) and we could stay in Caesars Palace four the duration of our dream vacation. We could enjoy a fine dining experience to overlook the Fountains of Bellagio at night. A dream is not dream the right dream vacation without a visit to the classic, but awesome Freemont Street Experience either. Oh, yes! and wouldn't a couples massage be a welcome spoil too? A night of romantic, and fun dancing might hit the spot to help us release the stress of our average daily routines. We'd love to gamble a bit for entertainment, but with that outside chance of hitting it big on a progressive prize! It would be wonderful to have coffee and maybe a couple omelets served to the room one morning. And to meet Siegfried & Roy would be something special because I've admired them for their good faith toward the tigers. They are very honorable gentlemen. If I could turn back time I'd love to attend their show of old. This is a dream vacation that would leave me to fall asleep with a smile and a memory of a dream vacation never to be forgotten.  Larry Strehl  Tampa FL

My Las Vegas Dream would be to have all the money I could want and be treated like a VIP. I would want to see everything and have VIP access to every show I wanted to see. A limo at my disposal and if I was too tired from all the walking then someone would push me around in a wheelchair. Julie Thomson  Allegan MI

I hope to make my dream Las Vegas vacation happen. My boyfriend and I are going to get married in Las Vegas in 2006. Here are our dream wedding and reception plans: We fly from Minnesota to Las Vegas and check into Caesar's Palace. In the next few days, all of our friends and relatives arrive for our wedding. Our wedding takes place at an outdoor chapel at Caesar's Palace on a beautiful April day. After the ceremony, we head inside for dinner at Cafe Lago. After the ceremony, we, along with our guests, walk down to The Venetian for a gondola ride in the canal. By this time the sun will be setting. After that, it's time for fun! We'd spend a few hours out on the town, drinking and gambling, and maybe a little clubbing. We'd return to our honeymoon suite at sunrise the next day. This would be our perfect Vegas vacation.  Amanda Doering   Mankato MN

My Las Vegas Dream Vacation would be to get married there with all expenses paid - just a hitching place will do - and a honeymoon at one of the hotels thrown in after that.  Don Schraier  Venice CA

My Las Vegas Dream Vacation would be staying in the penthouse of the Bellagio for a week. Then rotate dinner nightly between Aqua, Pegasus, LeCirque and Picasso. Drinks at The Baccarat Bar, then on to see Elvis-a-Rama. The rest of the time would be spent gambling with lots of $$$$$$ to gamble with!  Cindy Gutierrez  Atwater CA

My daughter is traveling to Las Vegas in Sept. and is getting married there. Her aunt, my sister, is traveling with them and providing airfare (air miles). My wife and I can't afford the trip so you can imagine what our dream vacation would be is winning this contest would be a dream come true for a lot of people here in NF. Thanks for the opportunity.  Ron Cumby  Trinity Bay  NF Canada

Win a gazillion and just live like a high roller!  Avis Ellis  Victoria BC Canada 

Las Vegas is THE place I would want to visit if I had a chance, such as winning the Las Vegas dream vacation which would include: airplane tickets, enough cash money to have a good time while I was there, hotel and meals, guided tours and means to get to all Casinos and interesting areas.  Diane Beriault  Gatineau (Hull) PQ  Canada

Dear Vacation give-away.  My husband really work's so hard for his family every day, it's because he wants us to have the best of everything. But he never gets to rest, and enjoy the pleasure's of life. I believe that there is a time that people like my husband Joe, that works so hard for his family; because he loves us, we should do something to repay him, for all the love & care he puts into our lives daily. So this is why I'm writing you today. Please consider us for your give-away; This would be the best relaxation surprise we could give him, help make this happen for a person that care's so much about others.  Thanks Carolyn Neel and sons Jason, Nathan  Lubbock TX

My Dream trip to Las Vegas is actually for my daughter Lauren. She is a big fan of Celine Dion, who as you know has a show in Las Vegas. She has been making plans to get there, or how much money to save so that it would add up. But it just never seems to. I would take her, but I was not so lucky. About 4 years ago or so, I was in an accident and now as a result, paralyzed from the waste down. We can't do what we use to, or go where we want to. I feel guilty about that, I wish I could just get up and take her to where she wants to go. It's hard, and I feel like a burden. But this is a dream of hers I wish I could make come true. I would love to see the look on her face. She has a light heart and takes things well. She jokes about how by the time she gets there to see Celine Perform, hopefully 'canes' will be in. She has been taking care of me, and has a good humor about everything. This is my dream vacation to Las Vegas: Taking my daughter to see Celine Dion perform Live.  Lisa Cater  Mineola TX

The Ideal Las Vegas trip, would start with a non stop flight.
Coming into McCarran, the beginning of dusk, to view all the lights.
A limo ride to the hotel, would really be great. taking in all the sites, while riding with my mate. Check into New York New York, or maybe TI. A sighting of Elvis, God I would die.  Down to the casino, with cash in hand. A quick thousand bucks, would really be grand! 
Some time at the Craps Table, is just what I need. I know snake eyes and Pass Lines, from the books that I read. All of this gaming, making our stomachs growl. Texas size steaks at Gilleys, That makes any man howl. Our bellies now full, we stroll down the strip.
Fountains, volcanoes, castles and more, this is more than a trip.
We've walked one whole side of the strip, now it's almost dawn.
Our next site, our sheets on the bed as they are drawn.  We sleep just a few hours, so much more to do. Shower and shave, and off to the pool.  Ready for a show, which one is for me.  My husband buys the tickets, it's topless I see.  Down to Fremont Street a light show so true. 32 flavored frozen drinks, we find at La Bayou.  We gamble, we're entertained, take a helicopter to the Grand Canyon.  Can you think of a better way, to spend your vacation.  Tracey West  Webster MA

My ideal  las  Vegas vacation would be to fly non stop from prince George B.C. to Las Vegas the city of lights to see the wonderful Venice hotel that has been built representing the city of Venice with marble and gondoliers a chance to take a holiday to see this and all the other wonderful sights of the city of lights I have never been that far from home and it would be exciting to see all the wonderful and fantastic casinos and museums art gallery's and learn more of the history of the thirties and the man so many years ago who had a dream that every one doubted but him he made it succeed in the middle of no where. To be able to play all the different slots see wonderful shows and the work that goes into making the costumes designs and the wonderful dancers that perform so elegantly nightly it would truly be a trip of a life time with air fare hotel and spending money included a chance to see all the wonderful things I have read about from the gangster years up until now when it has be come more family oriented than before it would be a wonderful to see how one man envisioned something no one else could.
