Through this promotion, the TI Gay & Lesbian Travel program and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority will award six pairs of tickets for the Madonna concert to the agents who book the highest number of nights in conjunction with air / land packages from New York to Las Vegas. All bookings must be made by Sept. 30 for travel through Dec. 20 through the travel agent login on the homepage www.travelimpressions.com/gaytravel.

At the end of the booking window, all travel agents will be ranked based on number of nights booked. The six agents who rank highest qualify for the grand prize (pair of tickets to see Madonna). Winners will be hosted during the concert in a suite provided by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. Winning travel agents are responsible for all costs associated with travel to New York for the concert as well as any other expenses incurred as a result of winning the prize.

Sample vacation packages to Las Vegas through the TI Gay & Lesbian Travel program start at $379 per person double occupancy and include roundtrip airfare on US Airways from New York (JFK International Airport); hotel accommodations; roundtrip airport / hotel transfers; and hotel tax.
