In each city, the Las Vegas showgirls will experience “Great American Traditions” in anticipation of this year’s National Tourism Week (May 10-18), from pizza in Chicago, coffee in Seattle and a visit to Balboa Park in San Diego, to a Colorado Rockies baseball game in Denver and a trolley ride in San Francisco. A full schedule of the showgirls’ itinerary can be found at . The showgirls will also post photos in this special section, as well as dispatches chronicling their experiences in each of the five cities on the tour.
Working with Southwest Airlines and Southwest Airlines Vacations, the LVCVA will also offer one lucky resident of each city the chance to win a trip for two to “Vegas Right Now.” There are so many reasons to come to Las Vegas, and with new restaurants, clubs, shows, retail outlets and concerts opening monthly, it’s always a good time to visit the destination. Indeed, as the LVCVA’s latest marketing campaign suggests, “you might know Vegas but you don’t know Vegas right now.” Recent openings include Bette Midler’s “The Showgirl Must Go On” at Caesars Palace, Wolfgang Puck’s CUT at The Palazzo, WET Republic pool experience at MGM Grand, and Sunset Tan at Palms Place. Each trip giveaway will consist of airfare and two nights’ hotel accommodations.
“Las Vegas is proud to send its own ‘Great American Tradition’ — the iconic showgirl — on this tour to experience some of our nation’s most beloved attractions,” said Terry Jicinsky, senior vice president of marketing, LVCVA. “We can’t think of a better way to celebrate National Tourism Week than by experiencing what these great destinations have to offer. Furthermore, we’re delighted to be able to offer a trip to visit ‘Vegas Right Now’ in each city.”
“Southwest Airlines is the best way to travel to Las Vegas, and we’re thrilled about surprising folks with these great getaways,” said Kevin Krone, Southwest Airlines vice president of marketing, sales, and distribution. “The LVCVA is a tremendous partner and we’re happy our Southwest Airlines Vacations group could help make the winners’ Vegas stay one to remember.”
