Go Straight to the Viva Las Vegas Hotel Map

Way back when we first introduced the Viva Las Vegas Hotel Map, we promised to unroll the second and third installments in a timely manner. See, we started off with the High Rollers like the Wynn, Caesars and The Venetian. Next we were going to bring forth the Breaking Even places like the Hard Rock and Paris. Then we would point you to the hotels that seem to be Crapping Out. Excalibur anyone?

We also wanted you to send us your wild Vegas stories and we would pick the lucky winner with the wildest story to win Rough Guides Las Vegas guide book pack.

Then life got in the way. Britney Spears showing off her lady friend, Thanksgiving, Honduras, Pam and Kid Rock divorcing, Amsterdam, Mexico hotel reviews, Art Basel, etc.

We extended the contest by a few weeks but in reality, that wasn't fair, especially since we still have like 20 hotels to add to our map.

So we're striking a deal. We promise to unveil our complete Viva Las Vegas Hotel Map featuring all three tiers--High Rollers, Breaking Even and Crapping Out--in the next couple of weeks and in exchange we give you until Jan. 12, 2007 to send us your Vegas hotel stories. Remember, these stories have to at least involve one of the Vegas hotels but doesn't have to be restricted to the ones that are on our map. Who knows? Maybe your story at Terrible's Casino is so damn good that we had to add that crappy hotel to our map...on the Crapping Out tier of course.

A couple examples of the good and bad Vegas hotel stories we have received thus far post jump.

Good Story:

My girlfriends and I were staying at the MGM Grand for a bachelorette party. The first night we were out until 4am dancing our asses off at the Palms' new club, Moon. A couple of us had left early simply because we were too tired. But a couple of our friends decided to stay on. When we woke up the next morning, one of our friends was passed out in the bed with her clothes still on and what appeared to be a Marine officer's white hat next to her. Sadly, the Marine was not around for us to get a good look at. But she apparently stayed up until 8am in the bar downstairs at MGM with this man. Then he escorted her back to her room in full uniform before giving her a good night (morning?) kiss and offering up his hat. We're sure he's pissed about it now. But who cares? My friend has a Marine hat!

Bad Story (no chance of winning):

I went to Vegas and lost $400 on Wheel of Fucking Fortune. How do I get my money back?

So there you have it. Class dismissed. Submit your best Vegas story and you could win the Rough Guides Las Vegas guide book pack. See dreams can come true, if you just tell us what happens in Vegas.
