From shows and music to gaming and dancing, Travelocity(R) and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) have joined together to help consumers celebrate Las Vegas’ 100th birthday.
To celebrate the entertainment capital of the world’s centennial anniversary on May 15, everyone who books a Flight+Hotel TotalTrip(SM) from now through May 31 on Travelocity will be entered to win one of 100 iPods(R), the world’s most popular digital music player.

Travelocity complements this download by offering a recommended list of tunes for the perfect trip to Vegas available at www.travelocity.com/tunes.
“Las Vegas is the hottest entertainment destination and the iPod is the hottest portable entertainment device, so we thought a great way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Vegas was to put it all together in one package – book a vacation package to Vegas on Travelocity and be entered to win one of 100 iPods,” said Bryan Saltzburg, vice president of packaging and cruises for Travelocity.
