Red Carpet Trip For Blue Collar Fans

Country music fans can start packing their hats and clearing their calendars April 3-7 for a four-night VIP package to the 44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards through a first-ever travel offering between the Academy and What A Trip! Entertainment.

For a price, fans can choose from between four plans which all include tickets to the April 5 awards show at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and the taping of the Artist of the Decade special honoring George Strait at the same location April 6. Also included are the post-show All Star Jam, hotel accommodations and limited edition ACM merch.

The Premier package covers four nights of luxury accommodations and includes admission to selected rehearsals in addition to “elements that cannot be purchased or accessed any other way,” according to organizers.

There’s a Girl’s Getaway offer for three nights for four women that includes makeovers, daybed and bottle service at MGM’s Wet Republic and an option to be on-camera members of “the pit” during the awards show.

The Kickass Country Weekender is for the guys. This package includes entry into the hottest clubs and VIP poolside service, in addition to the awards show tickets and hotel stay.

Couples have a package option, too. The Amore plan includes all of the basic VIP amenities plus strawberries delivered to the hotel room and first class transportation around Sin City.

“The Awards sells out every year, and this year has been no exception so far, but we’ve held a very limited number of high-level tickets for these packages because consumers have shown interest in an elevated experience,” ACM exec Tiffany Moon said. “The What A Trip! Packages will pamper guests with elements ranging from a dedicated concierge to VIP transportation to special gifts and artist experiences – we are thrilled to be able to offer country music fans this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

We did mention all this can be yours for a price, didn’t we?

The Premier VIP package tops at $4,000 per person and $8,000 per couple, the Gal’s Getaway and Kickass Country Weekender will set a party of four back $5,500 and the Amore plan runs a romantic $6,000 per couple.

More information about how to purchase tickets is available at  acmtrips.com. Tickets must be picked up at a special What A Trip! counter at the MGM Grand hotel and casino with proper ID, and all sales are final.
