I don't even know what a fake version of vegas would be. But I think it would make Baudrillard's head explode. Maybe they only get you to the desert nearby. Thanks, Eamon.
Sure would like to know more about this one. Looks like it might be at an airport - there's a windsock looking thing in the background. Maybe they mean a remote starter for a car or plane or maybe even model plane. Obviously you're going to win the remote starter because that's cheaper than a trip to "Vegas", like a carnival prize. I checked Google Maps to see if there are any other towns just called "Vegas", but apparently there aren't.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

trips to "Vegas" OR remote starters? i don't follow.
Yeah, I saw "remote starters" and wondered if they were anything like "late bloomers"? Too bad I had to add my own quotation marks...
Maybe the trip to "Vegas" is a remote starter--Your trip to "Vegas" doesn't start IN "Vegas." The funny, it is not with me yet. Where is my coffee?

I think they take you far from civilization and have their way with you. They call it "Vegas" because what happens there stays there. O_O
Maybe it's missing an 'f', making it free trips to vegas 'for' remote starters... THere is a Vega star in the constellation Lyra, now that's REMOTE.
