Win a Staycation: Ride the Capital Wheel

June 2, 2014May 31, 2014 by Fishing4Deals

Here’s a contest that caught my eye, mostly because of the chance to ride the brand new Capital Wheel.

The Maryland Office of Tourism is running a sweepstakes for a staycation at National Harbor, right on the Potomac River in Prince George’s County.

National Harbor is a multi-use riverfront development with outlet shopping, dining, entertainment and lodging.

I call this a staycation sweepstakes, because it includes hotel, meals, and entertainment, but not plane fare to Washington, DC.

Enter the National Harbor Summer Getaway sweepstakes by June 25, 2014, for a chance to win this prize package:

Gaylord National Resort Hotel & Convention Center: Two night stay in a standard guest room.
National Harbor Dining Entertainment Card:
valid at any National Harbor restaurant or entertainment location. Gift card value $200.
Tanger Outlet Gift Card: Gift card for $100.
Boating in DC: Two one-hour rentals of a single or double kayak, canoe or stand-up paddleboard.
The Capital Wheel at National Harbor: Four tickets.

In addition, the grand prize includes four offers from the Potomac Riverboat Company:

Two VIP boarding passes (each pass admits two): Alexandria – National Harbor Water Taxi;
Four VIP vouchers: National Mall Water Taxi;
Four VIP boarding passes: George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate & Gardens Cruise;
Four VIP vouchers: Washington Monuments Cruise.

I entered this contest. I think it would be a blast to stay on the other side of the Beltway and get around via water taxi for a couple of days. Does it tempt you?

The grand prize winner will receive:

Four Fandango movie tickets per week
Dinner out for four
Concessions
Gas money to cover your trips to the theater

Fandango is valuing this prize at $13,000 — it’s kind of astounding to think that that’s the cost of family entertainment these days.

They are also offering twenty weekly prices of $100 each in Fandango promo codes.

Japan Dreaming? Stop By New York’s Grand Central Terminal March 6-8

June 4, 2014February 28, 2014 by Fishing4Deals

If you are dreaming of a trip to Japan, like I am, you may want to stop by Grand Central Terminal in New York City for the annual Japan Week events March 6th through 8th, 2014.

The theme this year is “Discover the Past and Future in the Present,” a celebration of Old and New Japan.

Japan Week is a public-private partnership organized by the Japan Tourism Agency and Japan National Tourism Organization, supported by the General Consulate of Japan in New York.

The festival will take place at Grand Central Terminal’s Vanderbilt Hall from March 6 – 8, 2014. Half of Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central Terminal will transform into early 20th century Japan, and the other half will represent Japan’s present and future.

The event aims to introduce people to the unique features of Japan via cultural events, technology, art and music exhibits, food and beverages.

There will be a virtual reality theatre to guide visitors through Japan’s culture heritage, and a special appearance by a master of amezaiku, who transforms candy into marvelous sugar sculptures, and who is one of only a few people left in Japan who still perform this art.

There is also sweepstakes for free roundtrip tickets to Japan from JFK to Narita, sponsored by Delta Airlines, that you can enter online.

The only aspect of the festival that requires tickets is the Pop Up Bar, a replica of a 100-year café with servers dressed in Taisho era costumes, featuring exclusive sake from regions throughout Japan.
