Entire Town gets Free Vegas Getaway

Las Vegas officials have decided which American town is most in need of a vacation, and they are sending the entire town to enjoy four nights in Sin City, free of charge.

Next weekend, nearly half of the residents of Cranfills Gap, Texas, population 358, will be flying out to Las Vegas for a free vacation, that is, if they are over 21 and able to get the time off from work.

The free trip comes courtesy of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitor’s Authority, who are providing the trip as part of a promotional campaign for Vegas tourism. Cranfills Gap was chosen from a list of over 125 small cities in America deemed in need of some rest and relaxation.

The entire trip will be filmed from start to finish, resulting in a documentary film and about half a dozen commercials.

Town residents who are able to go on the trip will leave on Saturday, December 13th. They will get to stay in Vegas for five days, all expenses paid. The trip will put Cranfills Gap on the map as the first American city to take a mass vacation together.
