Congratulations!

When people ask me where the locals of Hawaii go to for vacation I always say, Las Vegas baby! In fact, my parents are there about 5 times a year. It’s a running joke in the islands that you’ll see people in Vegas that you would never run into back home.

In the Vegas Bound campaign, VisitLasVegas.com took 100 lucky residents of Cranfills Gap, TX on an all-expenses paid trip to Las Vegas where they filmed the entire experience and posted everything online to share with the world. Their message? Las Vegas is still a great place for family vacations.

When you think of Vegas, you think of gambling. However, there are so many other fun things for the whole family to do. There are zoos, museums, shows, winter activities, hot air balloons, performing arts, and shopping. Oh, the shopping you can do in Las Vegas!

My absolute favorite attration in Las Vegas is the Bellagio Water Show. If you’re there when they’re playing just the right song, it can be a moving experience. And guess what? It’s free! I could stand there all night and watch the water magically dance in the moonlight.

So when planning your next family vacation, why not consider Las Vegas? There’s something there for every one in the family!

WIN IT!

So, how would you like to win a $200 voucher on Southwest Airlines to help you on your way? Of course, you may use this voucher towards travel anywhere Southwest flies, however, you definitely should consider Las Vegas as your family destination! To enter:

  • Just stop by Vegas Bound before midnight, Feb 18th and view a few of their videos (warning: some videos may be for a more mature audience, nothing too racy though).
  • Then come back and mention which video is your favorite, why, and what would you do in Las Vegas (keep it clean please)
  • A random winner will be selected and notified via email on Feb 19th.
  • The winner will then have 3 days to claim their prize.

To earn extra entries, you may do one or all of the following. Each one counts as an extra ticket but you must leave a separate comment for each one.

This giveaway is open to US addresses. Good luck!

    I liked the Vegas Vixens trip…a spa trip with shopping sounds just like what I need! :)

    I’ve been there before and did mostly shopping but I also stopped by the Tropicana to see the Titanic exhibit.

    Wow, that looks like so much fun! I thought it was funny when they all saw their hotel rooms and they were all freaking out! Too funny!
    I would love to go watch the fountain with my husband for hours and hours. Yeah, we are boring. But the thing I am always trying to do is to see the Blue Man Group, and we have never been able to score tickets when they are in Minnesota. That would be cool.

    My fave part of the video is when the Cranfill Gap girls learn to pole dance like vegas girls because it’s so cool to see them immerse themselves in Vegas and live a little:) If I won a trip to Vegas, I would visit my best friend and her family who live there.

    I love the mom-like woman who was in the pole dancing class doing something in Vegas she would never do otherwise. I would leave my baby in the room with daddy and relax in the spa then do a bit of gambling solo.

    I loved the lady in the red hat as well as all the shows. The first thing I would do in Vegas is head to the Bellago for their fantastic buffet. The I would visit the MGM Grand and the Paris casinos. I would find a great blackjack table and gamble for a while and then head for the Golden Nuggett for another wonderful buffet. I would then go to Planet Hollywood for another couple hours of gambling and (of course) some more food. I would then visit the Vinirion for a ride on the gondula and some more gambling. I would end my day with watching the show at the Rio and……their great buffet. I eat and gamble my way through Vegas and love to visit there as much as I can. I am now an amputee and can’t visit there as often as I would like (due to medical finances) but I dream of the next visit. Please count me in and ty for such an exciting opportunity.
