Vegas Hotels Trade Rooms In Exchange for New Twitter Followers
by Lesly Simmons
The Rio and MGM Grand Hotels in Las Vegas are running new Twitter promotions, giving away hotel stays in exchange for tweets. Until Nov. 27, folks who tweet their sins along with the hashtag #mgmsin will be entered in a once-a-day random drawing for a night’s stay at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino on the strip. MGM’s social media team is posting the names of the winners as soon as they are drawn, and they’ve extended the promotion to mgmgrandsins.com. There you can tweet directly from the page, see a list of winners, and vote on the most forgivable and unforgivable sins that have been posted so far. A few folks have already forfeited by not responding to claim their prize, so if you enter, be sure to check back regularly.
