Editor’s note: The contest is now closed and we’re pleased to announce the winners! It was not an easy decision, there were many great entries. In the end we selected 2 runners-up and 1 grand prize winner.
The runners-up are Shawn (his answer: 6 kids, $200 a month wages, wife needs break. thanks) and Dana (Two Lovebirds / Perched and Dined / Over the Strip / Were Roasted). Shawn and Dana, we are sending you a promo code good for 5% off your next Viator booking, as our way of saying thanks!
The Grand Prize Winner? A unanimous decision, our Las Vegas team voted C. Mayes the Grand Prize winner. C. Mayes submitted a few entries, all of them worthy of prizes. However what impressed us most was this post-contest post, where C. Mayes reminded a late contest entrant that they missed the deadline (in a reply of exactly 10 words): “Kinda clever, but too late. Registration deadline was June 30th!”
Nicely done, C. Mayes. Enjoy your dinner and show in Las Vegas!

We’ve written about the new Dinner in the Sky in Las Vegas. Here’s the recap in case: there’s a new dining experience in Las Vegas, involving a large crane, an elevated outdoor table, and amazing views of the Las Vegas skyline. It’s called Dinner in the Sky. It is either the coolest experience ever, or the worst idea yet conceived by mankind, all depending on your opinion of heights.
The best news of all: Viator has scored 2 free tickets to Las Vegas Dinner in the Sky!! And yes, we are giving them away!! (Free tickets, woo hoo!)
We’ve also scored 2 free tickets to the Vinnie Favorito comedy show at the Flamingo hotel, which we’re including as part of the prize. The show is getting excellent reviews. With Vinnie you will laugh, you will cry (from laughter), and you may very well become the butt of Vinnie’s jokes. This is an interactive ‘roast’ and audience members spend plenty of time in the comedic hot seat.
Las Vegas Dinner & Show Contest: How do I enter?
Simply leave a reply for this post below to enter our “Las Vegas Dinner & Show” contest. We want you to answer one simple question: “Why should Viator give YOU free tickets to a Las Vegas dinner & show?” Entries must be submitted by June 30, 2009.
Winners will be announced on July 2, 2009.
Of course, there is a catch! We are only accepting replies that are 10 words or less! That’s right, answer the question “Why should we give YOU free tickets to a Las Vegas dinner & show” in 10 words or less, and you could win 2 free tickets to Dinner in the Sky and 2 free tickets to Vinnie Favorito at the Flamingo. You can enter our contest as many times as you like, but remember, your reply must be 10 words or less or it will not be considered.
Las Vegas Dinner & Show Contest: What do I win?
Our staff will pick the entry that we think best answers the question above, in 10 words or less. We are providing 2 free tickets to Dinner in the Sky Las Vegas (valid thru December 2009; the only blackout dates are July 4 and New Year’s Eve). We are also providing 2 free tickets to Vinnie Favorito at the Flamingo hotel (valid thru December 2009).
Airfare, hotel, taxes, and any other expenses are not included. We provide an unforgettable night of entertainment in Las Vegas, you need to get there on your own!
Good luck!
