Terry Fator Holds Contest for Military Family Special Las Vegas Getaway; Deadline 7/1

The Mirage Hotel & Casino headliner Terry Fator would like to honor our country's brave service men and women and their families with a special Las Vegas weekend sweepstakes. The prize package will include four tickets to see Terry Fator at his namesake theatre, a two-night stay for a family of four at The Mirage and four round-trip tickets provided by American Airlines.

"The military is such a vital part of our country, but it is the military families that are the backbone of America," said Fator. "We wanted to find a way to call attention to these families and, at least in some small way, recognize and thank them for all they do."

The winning family will be chosen via essay nominations submitted to www.terryfator.com/military2. Essays should be 200 words or less and account an experience you or your nominee had while serving in the military. Contestants can be self-nominated. The submission deadline is Monday, July 1 at 11:59:59 p.m. PT and the winning family will be announced Thursday, July 4. All eligible entries will be judged and scored by a panel of judges on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being the lowest) based on structure and clarity of narrative [40%] and inspirational nature of narrative [60%].
