Well, I will probably get a ribbing for this, but the person that I would take with me to Las Vegas would be my Mom.  She is my best friend and we always have fun together. Our tastes are not much different so we can be sure that we will enjoy ourselves. I think we would start by taking a walk to the Fremont Street Experience and marvel at the lights. After this we will probably want to get a bite to eat and of course would be, "Spago's", this of course would depend on our budget. If not Spago's then I would say we would probably end up at one of the Station Casino's and have a wonderful brunch. At this time it would probably be around noonish, so I would mention that we might enjoy a round of golf , either at the Las Vegas Hilton or maybe the Desert Rose. I'm sure we will want to take a rest from all the excitement up to this point and will get back out for more fun after golf and get ready for dinner and a show.  I would choose to go to the House of Blues for a show and catch whom they may have showcasing that night. I know this would be fun. Of course Las Vegas wouldn't be Las Vegas without the gambling and casinos, so I would venture over to the Excalibur Casino and maybe even try the MGM Grand. My mom will probably be more willingly to play bingo so we will end up at the Boulder Station Casino for a round of Bingo.   By this time it would probably be getting late and we would more than likely be tired, so we would call it a night and start the next day adventuring off. Daniel Aguilar  Inyokern CA

 

We would be met at the airport by two showgirls who would walk us out to a waiting pink Cadillac with Elvis in the front seat. Elvis would serenade us on the short drive to our suite at the Bellagio. To celebrate our arrival, our personal butler would pour us a glass of champagne to go with the chocolate covered strawberries waiting in our room. We would be given $1,000 each to go gamble for a few hours. That night a limo would take us to dinner at Hugos. This would be followed by a night helicopter flight over Vegas. The next morning, we would be served breakfast in bed. Following breakfast we would prepare for a wedding vow renewal ceremony at the Chapel of the Bells (every one else gets married several times, so this would be kind of like a second marriage for us even though we've been married 27 years). To prepare for the wedding we would be massaged poked and prodded and thoroughly made over at Caesars spa and salon. Once again Elvis would appear to conduct the ceremony. We then would have a reception at the Mirage with Danny Gans doing a personal performance. After the reception, we would spend a romantic night alone in our suite. The next morning, after coffee and croissants in the room, we would be taken by limo to the Stratosphere where we would ride the Xscream (Ill probably be alone on this one!) and the other rides on top of the tower. Next it would be off to New York, New York to ride the coaster. Finally, we would ride up the Eiffel Tower before heading back to the Bellagio. We would then try our luck at the Blackjack tables before being met by a Limo.  Michael Tramonte Akron OH

 

My husband and I went to Las Vegas for the first time for our 25th anniversary. We were novices and stayed at the Sahara. We had a great time, and I fell in love with the Venetian! I think that my dream vacation would be to stay at the Venetian for a week just being treated like royalty. I would love to be able to take a leisurely bubble bath in their gorgeous bathrooms. Rubbing elbows with celebrities would be wonderful, but winning a lot of money would be the icing on the cake.  Kathy Stickney  Auburn ME

 

I would love to spend a fun-filled week in Las Vegas with my Fiance and about $5000 in spending money which I have won. We would stay in the best hotel and eat at the very best exclusive restaurants. Gwenna Males  Richmond Hill ON Canada

 

My dream Las Vegas vacation is an easy one because a group of my friends are planning on meeting up there. What makes it a 'dream' is that I haven't seen these friends for approximately 40 years because they are my public school classmates. With the help of the internet, our circle begins to grow as more and more classmates are found. We all plan on meeting up in the near future in Las Vegas.  Evelyn Darbison  Mississauga ON Canada

 

Wow, my dream trip to Las Vegas! I LOVE Vegas! I'd have to say my dream trip would include my 3 best girlfriends. We'd hit the chi-chi shops and check out the cool hotels. We'd spend some time at the slots, probably losing, but enjoying ourselves and the drinks. We'd hit a few shows of course! Hanging out by the pool for a bit would be great relaxation. And no trip would be complete without a visit to Margaritaville!  Kelly Kennedy  Edmonton Canada

 

My dream Vegas vacation would have been to go to weeks after I went the last time and play the nickel progressive at the Golden Nugget with a hit for $3.5 million.  Scott Robertson  Cookstown ON Canada

 

To start with, going to Las Vegas is a dream in itself. But, to imagine what the dream Vegas vacation would be, I would have to say a week stay at the Mandalay Bay resort during the time of the Tim McGraw concert. Front row seats, backstage passes, the whole nine yards. Being from a small town with Movie Gallery as the weekend hot spot, I have lots of vacation dreams! Going to Las Vegas is at the top of my list. The lights, the activity, the shopping, shows, casino's, nightlife. That would be all the dream this country girl needed!  Beth Mitchell  Westville FL

 

The best Las Vegas Vacation imaginable, for me, would be a three day stay that is not only all expenses paid, but with 2 first class tickets for a plane departing Lester B. Pearson Airport, accommodations in a first class suite at any one of the great hotels there plus 3 meals a day for three days, plus $2000 spending money each for my guest and myself, to spend at the casino(s) of our choice. Add to that a romantic, private nighttime limousine tour or the city for two on the last night of the vacation before departing for home.  Mike Gray  Holland Landing ON Canada

 

The dream that would make my family the happiest would be to spend time together in an exotic place like Las Vegas.  It seems everyday life goes by to fast and at the end of the week you have hardly spoken to your family. Going to a 24 hour town would be the greatest.  It would remove us from the daily chores and give my family the opportunity to have a real vacation, Las Vegas style.  I may not be the biggest gambler, but winning any size jackpot would be a once in a life time thrill.  Ralph B. Miami Fl

 

My dream vacation in Las Vegas would be to stay in a suite for about one week. I would just relax, gamble, drink, go to all the attractions, such as shows fine dining, rides, and of course just get pampered all day long in any spa. I would party & relax. I would eat lobster tails with fine wine, lose some money, try to win some money, I wouldn't care, as long I'm in Vegas I'm always guaranteed my dream vacation!  Maria Patisso  Valley Stream NY

 

The best Las Vegas dream vacation would be one where I didn't have to worry about how much money I spent on the airfare, accommodations or on fun. My husband and I have only had two or three holidays where we didn't worry about costs and it certainly makes the time away from home that much more fun and memories that much more poignant.  Jan Hosking  Courtice ON Canada

 

I would love to go back to Las Vegas just to get my husband to 'shut up' about Vegas. He is possessed by anything Vegas related. It's all that I hear about, day after day. Our first trip, 2001, we mainly gambled and watched the free shows. Now he wants to go back to see the good shows, play poker, collect some freebies, and maybe win a little bit of money. I enjoyed Vegas, but would certainly enjoy it more if we were to go back and see shows, Celine Dion, Eat at a few nice restaurants, and get lots of pictures. Perhaps renewing our wedding vows would top off the excitement. My husband is driving me nuts about Las Vegas! Richard, help me!   Tracy Bleck  Tigerton WI

 

My dream Vegas vacation would be a limo waiting at the airport for my group. The driver would be holding a sign with my name on it and we would drive down the strip sipping champagne. He would drop us off at the Sands where we would have a VIP suite waiting for us. Dressed in our finest, we would have reservations for a front row table where we would be entertained by Frank, Dean, & Sammy. After the show we would party with them until the dawn. The next day would be filled with gambling, shopping and an afternoon at the spa where an array of delicious treatments would be chosen. That night we would have tickets for front row seats to see Elvis at the International Hotel. He would invite us backstage for pictures and autographs. Our limo would take us downtown where we would gamble at Binion's until the sun came up. We would be sure to stop at the Landmark, the Dunes, the Hacienda and Mr. Sy's for the rest of our gambling pleasure. Ahhh Vegas!  Elizabeth Fiscelli  China MI

 

My dream Vegas vacation would be an all expense trip for 2 to the Las Vegas Hilton and surrounding casino's. My husband is an Elvis Tribute Artist in Missouri and it would be our dream to get the Vegas Elvis feel and stay at the hotel he played at. He has been doing his show for 5 years now and does the 50's, movie era's, '68 leather and the jumpsuits. I would love to go to Vegas with my real life Elvis. Thank you, thank you very much!  Debby Smith  Dexter MO

 

It would have to be winning a contest similar to this one and it allows me to play in the WSOP. I win one of the minor tourneys and then in turn can enter the main event. After surviving the field I win the WSOP and it completes the most amazing vacation dream ever.  Chris Comberrel  Houston TX

 

My dream vacation would be to stay at the Venetian or Mandalay Bay Hotel with a romantic dinner for two and a great show, doesn't matter which show, just as long as we are together.  Alisa Heeber  Hallandale Beach FL

 

There he is...the limo driver holding the sign with my name on it larger than life! So begins my dream vacation to the city that never sleeps. The limo ride to Bellagio's is relaxing, surreal. The concierge greets me and I am escorted to my suite. Wow! A laid-back trip where every waking moment is planned out for me and all I have to do is sit back and enjoy. A driver would be at my beck and call to whisk me away whenever the whim comes over me. Room service at any time. Pampering at the spa. Quality "me" time. A chance to be treated like the queen I have always known I am! All the times I've been to Vegas, I have NEVER been to a show, so this time front row center seats at the BEST shows would be there for the taking. The next day a shopping spree at the Shops at Caesar's, lunch at Spago's, then some sight-seeing. An experience that as I lowered myself into my first class seat on the flight home I would still be asking myself if it really happened or did I dream it?  Paula Clinton  Portland OR

 

Our dream 3-day weekend trip in Las Vegas would begin on a Friday morning when a limousine picks my husband and I up at our home. He takes our luggage and whisks it and us away to The Bellagio where we are immediately escorted to our luxury Jacuzzi suite. After we are settled in our suite we would visit the spa and spend a relaxing afternoon being pampered. Afterwards we would retire to our suite and dress for dinner. The limousine would be summoned and we would request that he bring us to Mortons Steak House. After dinner we would attend the Celine Dion show at Caesars Palace. Thank goodness this city never sleeps, (well, goodness probably had nothing to do with it), because after attending Celine we would be all pumped up so we would go hit the tables at Caesars. We would stay up as late as we can, winning as much as we can, then go back to The Bellagio where I would try one last slot before retiring. To my astonishment I win eight million dollars!! Very late the next morning the finest breakfast is served in our suite. After breakfast we would summon the limousine to bring us to all of the best shopping at any and all the hotels. We shop till we drop. Saturday evening comes and we spend it dining and toasting champagne to our good fortune at Bellagio's finest restaurant. Sunday finally comes and is filled with a media blitz of reporters trying to get the spelling of our last name straight. When we finally get away from the reporters and their questions we request a private cabana next to the pool and spend what's left of the day contemplating how we will spend our millions!  Margaret Ciardiello  Las Vegas NV

 

I have never been to VEGAS ideally my trip would consist of staying at one of the posher hotels playing some golf, doing a little gambling (hopefully winning a little) seeing some of the shows, take in some of the sites and lights of VEGAS around just have a good time.  Joe Rollin  Val Caron ON Canada

 

My dream Las Vegas vacation would include a suite with a view of the strip. In my five previous visits I've never had a decent view of anything but parking garages. I'm not a wealthy individual by any means, but I would love to eat at some of Las Vegas' wonderful restaurants. I have often seen ads with giant lobsters - my mother would love that!, and wonderful steakhouses that we could never afford, or restaurants owned by some of the world's finest chefs - like Wolfgang Puck. I have never been to any headline shows and I would love to see them - singers, magicians, plays or productions. I'd love to see any of them! I don't need limos or private villas or Presidential suites, but just once, I'd like to see Las Vegas and do Las Vegas like I believe it should be seen and done. I would love to play in the casino's at dollar slots rather than nickels and quarters and I think it would be great to learn how to play some of the table games. The only table game I know is Blackjack and I'm not confident enough of my skill to put my money on the table. My dream Las Vegas vacation would allow my mother and I to do and see the things that we've only dreamed about. We love Las Vegas, but realize that we haven't really experienced Las Vegas. Thank you for the opportunity to enter your contest.  Gordon Wilson  Quesnel BC Canada

 

I would love to win any kind of trip I have never been to Vegas and would love to go.  Dianna Schultz  Virginia MN

 

My dream Las Vegas vacation would be to really go there and not have to dream about it and see some of the live shows.  Louise Martiniuk Edmonton AB Canada

 

I would love to take my daughter to Las Vegas and show her all of the sites I saw when I was there, I would love to be able to take her to the "Big Name Shows" and to eat at marvelous restaurants run by famous chefs, to sit by the pool and tan, cool off in the azure water, and sip on a long, tall lemonade whatever. Just look pretty- be pretty- see pretty-and live pretty for one weekend of our lives.  Patricia Wong  Thornhill ON Canada

 

My Las Vegas Dream Vacation would have myself and my husband of three years getting re-married after a rocky marriage where we've just barely scraped through. A renewal of our vows in a fun setting with just US would be ideal....and then the excitement of the honeymoon!  Jacqueline Bennett  Caledon East ON Canada

 

We have a casino here in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada (well we have 2 of them) and the newer one is supposed to be Las Vegas style. But having seen a Las Vegas casino on TV, it does not compare. I would love to go and try my luck on the slots, while my husband would love to play the $25.00 blackjack tables.  Thank you for offering this contest. I hope I win.  Gerri Vout  Niagara Falls ON Canada

 

Later this year, my husband and I will be celebrating our 30th anniversary. Going to Las Vegas would be a wonderful escape from the daily routine. It would be wonderful to be driven around the city in a limo at our leisure and explore the sites. It would be great to relax in a whirlpool and enjoy a real vacation, something we haven't had in years.  Brenda Webb  Moncton NB Canada

 

Fly first class to Vegas, stay in a free suite at Bellagio, all the free food and drinks I need. Tickets to all the Cique du Soleil shows.  Laura Reid  Willowdale ON Canada

 

My Husband and I have been married now for 4 years and we never ever got a honeymoon, we tried but the kids would show up at our motel and there went that idea, we have neither been to Las Vegas and have always dreamed of going, we hit a few rocky roads along the way as most couples do and we now want to renew our vows and start over fresh including a honeymoon, and would love to do this in Vegas where we know we will not be interrupted.  Jackie Damon  Largo FL

 

Ah..to dream...My hubby went to Las Vegas with his first wife in 1968 on their honey moon. Jerry and I have been together since 1981 and our honeymoon was spent in Atlantic City. Every year we talk about how nice it would be to make it to Las Vegas. We are very interested in the history of the city, and seeing the Grand Canyon on a donkey is one of dreams...ah... to dream.  Andrea Leger  Cocagne NB Canada

 

I fly to LV with my husband via 1st class ticket. Our suite at the MGM Grand is waiting, and so is the spa. I get my hair done and spa treatment and my husband and I buy elegant new clothes. We sip champagne by the waterfall and dress for dinner a show and initial trip to the casino- and win BIG. We casino hop and pub hop for the next 6 days winning and loosing- some realism here- but mostly wining. We fly over the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam and land for lunch and cocktails. We take in various LV shows and the Rod Stewart concert 4/2. We get to greet Mr. Stewart personally. We renew our vows at one of the little chapels and spend a romantic evening and follow up the next day with great lunch sightseeing, shopping trip, and buy a condo. Alas, we depart by limo for the airport but make plans, as high rollers to return again- with comp airfare and room asap!  Las Vegas, is indeed the land of fun and dreams.  Pamela Mackey  Basking Ridge NJ

 

Once arriving in Vegas I would like to get checked in to my Luv Tub Suite at the Imperial Palace, start gambling with some Poker, and spend the 1st day walking the strip taking in the sights. Would stop at each casino, get a new players card, some matchbooks and freebies from each casino. Would take time to take lots of pictures. I would enjoy buffets at each hotel along with video poker and slots. Would love to take the time to teach my wife to love Vegas as much as I do! There are so many wonderful shows and attractions to see!! Viva Las Vegas, Baby!  Troy Bleck  Tigerton WI

 

My dream vacation would include winning big money (HA HA). Seriously, I would love to stay at the Venetian or the Mandalay Bay Hotels or even Caesars Palace./ I would like to be spoiled in the spa, perhaps have a limo. take us around town one night, with a very romantic dinner followed by a wedding proposal from my boyfriend at the top of the Stratosphere.  Alisa Heeber  Hallandale Beach FL

 

My dream vacation would be to be married in Vegas by an Elvis impersonator on 05-05-05. Actually me and my fiancé had planned to but we barely make ends meet now. Anyway, I would like to ride in a Limo and Play at some of the casinos and see a Wayne Newton Show. That is my Dream Vegas Vacation.  Amber Varner  Calvert City KY

 

"My Dream Las Vegas Trip"  As I Dream of a fantasy vacation of being in such a beautiful, romantic and fun filled city. I arrive at McCarran airport on a first class flight, im pickup by limousine and transported to a beautiful hotel with beautiful art, with beautiful ambience, I feel like a star! I feel beautiful. What a wonderful experience to have. I dream of being pampered at a luxurious day spa and having a full body massage to relieve all stress and having a brief shopping spree to prepare for a night out on the town. I dream of a romantic flight over the city the vision of the beautiful lights, this would be a dream come true. I dream of fine dining, fantasy and touring attractions and experiencing all Las Vegas has to offer. Then the alarm goes off it's time to wake up and get dressed for work.  Kimberly McGregor  Houston TX

 

My Las Vegas dream vacation would be one that I will remember the rest of my life. I go about once a year if I can but have never been able to do the things I have always wanted to. I have always wanted to stay at an upscale hotel like the Venetian. I have always wanted to get backstage to a production show to see how it is run. I have never seen the Grand Canyon. I always seem to miss any concerts of people I would like (and if I was there, can't afford them). I would like the chance to see Vegas in an upscale scope, that would be my dream vacation. Living paycheck to paycheck there isn't much hope of enjoying what some call the "good life". I would like to experience it, even for a little while.   Randi Leonard  Grand Haven MI

 

I am entering this contest as I desperately need a vacation and don't have the money to pay for it. in the past 2 yrs my dad had been placed in a nursing home for Alzheimer's 2003, my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer, my dad fell and broke a hip. that was year one. year 2 (2004 year) my husband of 23 years have separated and are now in the middle of a divorce, my father passed away from an infection on thanksgiving day (my mother's b-day) they had been married 56 years. on x-mas day my aunt passed away and on Jan 24, 2005 my only sister was in a severe car accident resulting in the break of her collar bone, several ribs, deflating a lung that was punctured, her elbow was completely apart and had to be reconstructed, and she has 2 pelvic fractures. this is all on her left side. I have 3 children, one 21 with an almost 2 year old babe trying to go to school to better herself. an 18 year old son living with me struggling to pass high school and a 14 year old daughter. me......I was on short term disability from work as I was unable to function for several months after all the tragedies. my only joy in life (other than my kids) is to play slots! and I am extremely lucky too!!! I love to play and have no money to do so at this time. actually I can't even barely keep my head above water. I would love to bring my 21 year old daughter with me as she is struggling as well. this would be the perfect vacation for us and we need it badly. I can't even imagine going to Vegas, always been a dream!  Kathy Hamm  Cedar Rapids IA

 

Getting on TV at SEMA.  Gary Howell  Keyser WV

 

My dream Las Vegas vacation? It's simply really. A luxurious jacuzzi suite overlooking the fabulous Strip. Playing a round of golf on a cool dry desert morning. An afternoon swim and full body massage. Enjoying an elegant dinner at a trendy Vegas restaurant. An evening of high stakes gaming and perhaps a late night adult comedy show. Having a nightcap and playing video poker in a quiet hotel bar. Returning to my suite then calling my wife in Texas just to tell her how good of a time I'm having. Tom Porter  Houston TX

 

Oh, to be where the action is! Las Vegas is where I'd like to be; Fine living is the life for me. Casino's spread out so far and wide, take Nevada and give me some Vegas Pride! Fresh air, Times square! This is the life! Good-bye, urban life; Las Vegas I am there! To see all the sights, play-slots every night, go eat at nice places, and see lots of new faces. Las-Vegas See You There!  Kandy Wilkerson  Asheboro NC

 

At 39 years old, its only recently that I've even decided that I really want to go to Las Vegas. Id love to experience the lights, the sounds, the flashiness and the excitement that I imagine the city has to offer. I really want to see Caesars Palace, Paris, and Circus Circus. My dream vacation would be that my fiancé and I could go there together. We've been a couple almost 10 years and have recently decided to tie the knot. We have three young children and that responsibility leaves us very financially crunched, so planning our wedding seems like an almost impossible feat. Although I haven't told him, I've imagined us just hopping a plane to Vegas and getting married there. It would be a wedding/honeymoon/vacation for us. We'd stay in the most luxurious of hotel suites being pampered by the service and enjoying each others company, just the two of us. We'd take in a show, do some gambling, buy souvenirs for the children and other family members, and have the most romantic time ever.  Rosalyn Hooper  Gwynn Oak MD

 

I will be making my first real trip to Vegas in march when I say real I mean I go everyday by way of your and many other websites. The one thing I am looking most forward to is seeing the welcome to Las Vegas sign. Everything after that will be butter!  Desiree Golden  Euclid OH

 

My dream of vacationing in Las Vegas would be to visit as many strip clubs or night clubs as possible. There is a reason why they called it sin city. I am ready to get wild. Ladies, here I come. I will take over Vegas, and conquer as many women as possible. If you smell what the Flex is cooking!  Felix LIm  San Bernardino CA

 

My Dream Vacation would be to win a trip to Las Vegas and get the royal treatment. I would be pampered and served with food delightful to my taste. I would go to casino and win at the machines. I would be able to live comfortably for the rest of my life. Since I am 75 years old I know I can enjoy life to the fullest. Mary Papini  Bronx NY

 

My husband and I went to LV in May '04 and were mesmerized by all the sights to see, which seemed like a dream to me, beautiful!  My dream would be to take my son and daughter with their spouses to see what I have seen and to be able to start enjoying a dream much sooner in life than I was able too. While they are with us I would love to have all three couple renew our wedding vows together, how romantic. This would be my dream come true.  Peggy Davis  Hebron OH

 

Wow, to have a day off of work and enjoy the luxury of Vegas. anything from wine, women and song to gaming, dining and shows would be just fine.  Angelo Diliberto  San Dimas CA

 

To be called and told that I had won anything would be a dream come true! To win a trip to fabulous Las Vegas--I could die a happy woman! There is so much to do and see in Las Vegas, and I would love to see everything I could in a short time! I would love to be a winner in one of the casinos and have my picture taken for everyone to see! I love Las Vegas!  Kimberly Pingston  Wayne MI

 

It would begin with a stay for 3 nights in the MGM Grand and a limousine that would drive the strip and a cooler of wine/liquor. Then 3 nights in a downtown hotel with tickets to a few really good shows. That and a group of friends to go along for company and fun.  Ginnett Kamieniecki  Yorkton SK  Canada

 

Let me see...A Las Vegas dream vacation for me would be just getting their. I am a mother of 4 and a babysitter for 3. Two teenagers and five under 5 years old. My husband and I never had a honeymoon so to speak. He works hard to support us all and I am the oldest 34 year old on the planet I believe. I would love for he and I to be able to go to Vegas and enjoy a nice hotel stay just for 3 nights, that all he can get off the first week in June and not have to worry about taking any more than some fun money with us. We are very simple parents who don't do much for ourselves. My friend and her husband would love for us to go with them but money is making us a little nervous about doing it. So just the hotel stay, or just the flight being taken off of our budget plate so to speak would make the trip more enjoyable. Nothing fancy to make it a dream vacation just a nice get a way for some goo goo gaa gaa tired parents.  Tami
 Smith  Columbus OH

 

My Las Vegas Dream Vacation would be as follows:  My family and I would arrive in Las Vegas aboard a private jet or have had 1st class seating aboard a commercial jet. We would be met at the McCarren by a white stretch limousine and whisked off to the Bellagio Hotel. Upon arrival at the Hotel, I would be treated like a whale not the little fish that I really am and would be escorted up to a suite on the top floor of the hotel with a spectacular view of the lake. The room would include a jacuzzi. There would be fresh fruit and a wet bar. Room service would be available at my discretion. I would have front row tickets to see Celine Dion and Cirque de Soile and other shows. This would include backstage passes to meet the stars. MY dining pleasure would include some of the best restaurants with no waiting in line. It would really be nice is to have enough money to play the high roller slots just once. Making my week stay would also include the private pool & jacuzzi area that one reads about. I would also have at my disposal the limo to travel about Las Vegas. AT the end of my week that same limo would whisk me back to McCarren for my trip home. I would then wake up and realize it was only a dream.  Mary Mason  Buffalo NY

 

My wife's and my own love for opulence, fun, entertainment & our desire, better make that need, to please our two daughters Steffi and Talia (3 & 2 years old) make Las Vegas the perfect dream vacation for us. From performance shows, the best food & wine (would love to see the wine tower!) to the Grand Canyon and the excitement of the bells and whistles of the casinos, Las Vegas is the city of fun!  Kevin Kainz  Thessaloniki  GR

 

Vegas! Just the name sends chills of anticipation down my spine. My few trips to this "Vacation Capitol of the World" have been nirvana, even though I always go on a shoestring. My dream is to go as a "whale" and be treated to the perks and comps afforded only those few. My destination would be the Paris Hotel, where I would immerse myself in all it has to offer, beginning with dinner in the Eiffel Tower restaurant and perhaps a trip to the spa. What could be better than the ooh la la of a trip to the City of Light right here in our USA!  Evelyn Cortesi  Des Plaines IL

 

I have pictured my dream Las Vegas vacation every time the powerball jackpot is over $100 million dollars because it is the first trip I would take after winning. We would stay at the MGM bungalows that I have only read about. The limo would take me to golf at Shadow Creek while my wife enjoyed the spa at Mandalay Bay. My first gambling stop, after golf, would be to roll craps at the Hard Rock hotel. We would take a swim and then head out for the evening. We would have an early dinner at 9 steakhouse, following some blackjack at the Palms. Next would be drinks at Rum Jungle and a few sports bets at Mandalay Bay. We would play a little Caribbean stud at the Bellagio and stop into Light for a drink. We would stop into Teatro at the MGM after a bit of three card poker and Let it Ride. Last on our gambling tour would be some poker at Binions. Our late night stop would be at the 2.99 steak and eggs at Arizona Charlies (it is great now, it will still be great if I was rich). I am sure that the new Wynn hotel will mix into this dream day soon, but I wont be sure till Richard Reed tells me what he thinks of it.  David Scott  Wilmington DE

 

My LVDV would begin with my wife and children at home - Vegas is a place to get away from everyday life. I would join up with some old friends, arrive on Saturday in time for the seafood buffet at the Rio - Then Sunday pro football at Caesars. Later that night we would commandeer a blackjack table at a smaller casino and drink and laugh until the wee hours of the morning. Monday we would run to In and Out Burger for lunch (a Las Vegas staple) and then play roulette and 3 card poker until Monday night football begins....After the game we would be off to another of the many delicious buffets Las Vegas has to offer....guys and buffets go hand in hand you know......Then downtown for Blackjack, Paigow and Let it Ride.....again enjoying old stories and good laughs with every turn of the cards...Then Tuesday its up early for some last minute gambling and the trip home (always a sad day) Good times with good friends - that is my dream vacation!  William Curtis  Frisco TX

 

To stay at an exclusive hotel and be pampered at the spa with a facial, mud wrap manicure and pedicure. A really cool haircut buy a fancy dress have one of the really exclusive dinners and then see Celine Dionne.  Peggie Boothe  Spokane WA

 

I would provide an all expenses paid trip for family members and friends. Suites overlooking the dancing fountains of the Bellagio would be booked. Wed act like teenagers riding up and down the strip yelling from the sunroof of a Hummer limo while the neon lights blinked around us and 70s rock and roll music blared from our ride. At each casino, Id walk up to any blackjack table without looking at the minimum bet signs and play for as long as Id like. Id play the high limits slots without my husband standing behind me asking How much have you lost? While playing Mega Bucks, Id hit the jackpot! Id walk through the casino and hand out money to people I didn't even know just to watch the reaction on their faces. What? Did you think I was going to be like Demi Moore in that movie and roll around in it on my bed? A walk down Fremont Street enjoying the light show and stopping in the older casinos to experience the yesteryear atmosphere is a must while in Vegas so wed visit there. During the day, trips to Red Rock Canyon to ride horses; the Hoover Dam; a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon; and four-wheeling through the desert would be enjoyed by everyone. During my last two trips to Vegas, I missed seeing Elton John perform so I would buy tickets and dance to Crocodile Rock. After spending a week in my favorite city (I get goose bumps just thinking about it), Id make reservations at Mandalay Bay for the upcoming New Years Eve. And maybe when I come next time, Fear Factor will be in town filming! Wouldn't that be fun? I'm so excited. Sweet Dreams!   Julie Babbert  Grove City OH

 

Ohhh, the wonders of Vegas, I love to dream of very bright lights, and shows to see.  The rings and bings of slot machines. You can see why, I love to dream.  There's fishing and boating along Lake Mead, and who could forget the chocolate factory.  I would love to go to Vegas and wanted to display my love for Vegas in a fun loving way. Vegas is the ideal vacation for me...this city doesn't sleep and neither do I. There's a buzz in this city that calls my name -it's exciting and active in every way.  Darci Preston  Prince Albert SK  Canada

 

I recently traveled to Las Vegas for the first time and believe me when I say it was the best time ever-incredible. It was my best friend and I, there was just so much to see and do. We wish we would have had more time to pamper ourselves. If I had the opportunity to go back I would do so much more. I daydream about going back and spoiling myself to a SPA treatment. Not to mention tour the grand canyon. The mountains - awesome is the only word to describe them.  Anna Marie Martin  Harrisburg PA

 

I've grown up listening to Elvis all my life. My absolute dream vacation would be to go to Vegas and get married by Elvis, that would just melt my heart. I've never been anywhere and if I was to go anywhere it would be Vegas.  Sherry Kinch  Prince Albert, SK Canada

 

My Las Vegas Dream Vacation is probably not your standard because it's not only for me but my children. My dream is to see their dreams come true. I have 2 children, one who is almost 8 and very intelligent, when you ask him if he could go anywhere in the world where would it be, he says Las Vegas. He is fascinated with all the lights and architecture. My oldest is 16 and has raced motocross for 5 years now and his one dream in the world is to go to Vegas and compete in the Arenacross there. Although he is very talented will probably never get the opportunity. Seeing my children's dreams come true is more important than any dream I've ever had for myself.  Robin Cropper  Tompkinsville KY

 

I would be so excited to win a trip to Las Vegas. I have visited twice and dream about going back but I have to say that my dream would be to send my parents, Mitch and Roxie, to visit Las Vegas. My parents work so hard and haven't have had a vacation since I was 13 and I am 38 now. They have a family commercial fishing business and always plan to go on vacation but never can afford it. To make a very long story short I would love to tell them they can take a well deserved vacation. It would mean the world to me to know they can relax and have some fun after doing so much for their family. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sarah Peebles, Puyallup, WA

 

It would be a dream to visit Las Vegas to relax with my husband, enjoy a few shows, dine at the restaurants, and mellow at the pool and spa. It would be the perfect trip to leave the constant rushing around the hospital (being a nurse) and to take time for myself and husband for a change.  Mary Garvin  Philadelphia  PA

 

My dream vacation would to take my husband, sister, brother in-law, and parents. None of us never had a honeymoon. Plus it would help take everyone's mind off my nephews passing. We would be together as a family. We could just enjoy each others company. Stay in the best suites at the Venetian. The men could gamble while the ladies have a shopping spree and a day at the spa. See all the sites while we are being driven around by a stretch limo. Getting free room service. Just to have no worries at all. It would be nice to see everyone smiling and laughing together as a family. Spending time together at some shows and clubs. That is my dream.  Christen Skarin  Savannah GA
 
It would be a pleasure to visit Las Vegas again and that alone is a great dream.  The rest of my dream vacation would be to visit every casino and see exactly what the city has to offer.  I realize each casino has a theme, but I have never experienced each casino and that would be a true Las Vegas experience.  I would like to take along my family and maybe on this dream trip I could find a significant other, if you are going to dream you might as well dream big.  Viva Las Vegas.  J. Bowers  Los Angeles CA

 

Hey, this is me Shane from Canada eh!  The girlfriend and I have been together for 8 years and we have never had a vacation - just the 2 of us before. We are planning a trip to go down to Vegas in August, we are very excited about it and it dominates our conversations. The lights of this beautiful city would be something to remember.  Thank you and good night.  Shane Jenny  St. Louis  SK Canada

 

Spending a long weekend just having fun weekend in Las Vegas enjoying shows and the food..  Carl Todasco  Bloomingdale IL

I might even renew my vows with my husband of 19 years--who knows what fun it would and could be.  Roxanne Zagorski  Las Cruces NM
