Party away the US election with Vegas.com...
October 1, 2008
As the US elections approach, Las Vegas travel site Vegas.com emails with news of a marketing tie-in. It is shamelessly, gloriously cynical.
Tired of all the 2008 presidential election hype? The nastiness and innuendo? The half-truths and naked lies? We're not either. We're good with naked. And in Las Vegas, our "polls" tend to have half-dressed women hanging from them.
The site will be distributing "VEGAS: Because you need to be drunk to make it through this election" car stickers as part of the campaign.
WANT.
This is travel marketing filtered through The Daily Show, and very much to TW Blog's taste (I'm not famed for my tolerance of copy with words like 'magical', 'gem' or 'wellness' in it). More at vegas.com/crapshoot.
