SOUTHLAKE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 2005--
Travelers who Purchase a Flight+Hotel TotalTrip from
Now Through May 31 to Las Vegas also Receive a Free
Download of "Viva Las Vegas" on the iTunes Music Store
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. In
addition, anyone that purchases a TotalTrip during this limited time
period also will be given a free download of Elvis Presley’s hit “Viva
Las Vegas” from the iTunes(R) Music Store. 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.
