The winning Aussie and Kiwi advisors from the third Sell your way to the USA incentive trip are back after being wowed with a week of exceptional experiences in Nevada, thanks to Canuckiwi, Travel Nevada, American Airlines and travel partners.
Winning agents Abbey Shannon from Flight Centre Penrith and Silvana Gottini from World Travellers Motueka touched down in the ‘Entertainment Capital of the World’, Las Vegas, on 14 November, flying premium economy with AA, to kick-start their jam-packed Nevada itinerary.
And what better way to see Las Vegas than by helicopter with a night-time scenic tour of the Strip with Maverick Helicopter tours and a visit to the Las Vegas Meow Wolf Exhibit?
The Aussie and Kiwi winners joined a group from other key Nevada markets, such as the UK and Europe, on this famil program.
On the road
Then it was time to get the show on the road, combining three iconic Nevada road trips – Great Basin Highway, ET Highway (Extraterrestrial Highway) and Neon to Nature.
The road trip included visits to Valley of Fire State Park, Cathedral Gorge State Park, Great Basin National Park, Kershaw Ryan State Park and the ET Highway, including Little A’Le’Inn, Alien Research Centre and more.
Bright lights, neon city
After overnighting in Mesquite and Ely on this circle route, the group doubled back to Las Vegas to enjoy a Downtown Lip Smacking Foodie Tour, KAMU Ultra Karaoke and tours out to Boulder Dam as well as the LINQ experience.
The Vegas visit ended with a Las Vegas Photo tour.
Rave reviews
Flight Centre Penrith Team Leader Abbey Shannon was one of the lucky famil winners on the Nevada trip and said it was phenomenal.
“The highlight for me was definitely the helicopter over the Strip at night – that was just unreal – as well Cathedral Gorge on the way to Ely, what a great place,” she said.
“It was also refreshing to meet so many individuals in each stop, who were so genuinely passionate about their job, the site we were seeing and their love for Nevada tourism.”
American Airlines host Ivan Freire said both he and Travel Nevada International Market Manager Yennifer Diaz were fortunate to host another incredible fam group who absolutely loved the opportunity.
“I had such an amazing time, as did Abbey Shannon and Silvana Gottini – Travel Nevada should be so proud of themselves,” he said.
“It really was such an informative trip. The fam group loved the opportunity to land in Las Vegas and then explore three of the iconic road trips, including truly incredible walking and hiking experiences in Nevada’s state and national parks.”
Two more trips to Grapevine and Oklahoma and Alaska are on the horizon for seven other Sell Your Way winners in the next few months.
