V Theater at Planet Hollywood showering people with cash

One of the hardest hit U.S. cities from the economic downturn is Las Vegas.  In the last few months, Vegas hotels have been offering deeply discounted hotel rooms to attract a dwindling number of traveling consumers and gamblers.  But it’s not just the hotel rooms that are going unfilled these days.  Seats at a growing number of Vegas shows remain unfilled these days.  

The V Theater, located at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino is trying a new strategy to bring in a crowd to their show.  They are showering people with cash . . . literally.  At 2:30pm the “$1,000,000 Vegas Game Show” gives audience members a $1,000,000 Game Show dollar bill, each with a unique serial number.  During the show, random drawings determine which lucky audience members get to participate in the show for a shot at some rad prizes.  The contestants picked play a variety of Vegas style games for a possible million dollars, including the Money Shower (20 seconds of cash grabbing euphoria).

This ain’t no free meal though.  General admission tickets are running $39.99 for adults, VIP tickets are $49.99+, and kids are $15 a pop.  Buy them here.
