Team USA Sweepstakes

Sure it’s a full-on marketing ploy, but Hilton’s Official Guest of Team USA Sweepstakes could land you and three guests in Vancouver for the 2010 Olympics. Don’t forget about the five-day, four-night hotel stay, transportation, food and tickets to the Olympics.

Oh yeah, and you’ll get to meet some of the U.S. athletes and hang out in the USA House hospitality center. Not bad.

All of that and more just for staying at a Hilton brand hotel, which includes names like Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Hampton and more. But you must complete your stay at one of the hotels by Dec. 31 to be entered. Of course, you can enter by mail too.

The two grand prize winners will also receive a check for $10,000. Plus, there will be two second-place winners who will also make the trip to Vancouver stag and others can win a host of other prizes.

When booking your reservation, ask for the “Go for the Gold” rate or enter rate code YB or S-YB1 online. You should be all set. www.hiltonhhonors.com/officialguest.com
