    I would love this to treat my boyfriend and i to a night out. Money has been super tight so we are skipping Christmas this year... this would make a nice alternative
  13. Krista Monday - 03 / 12 / 2012 Reply
    While I would love a weekend away I would like to enter on behalf of my sister, one of the best moms I know! She is a single mom to 3 little ones and is going through something right now...its that feeling of 'why is this happening to me' and although I can't take her stresses away...maybe something like this would give her the 'I can't believe this happened to me!" feeling. I would do anything for her. p.s. she doesn't know I entered for her...
  14. Lisa S Monday - 03 / 12 / 2012 Reply
    I would love this so I could take a much needed break with my husband. We have 3 kids and havent been away since they were born....not even 1 night.
  15. Dawn Monday - 03 / 12 / 2012 Reply
    I would love to send my daughter and her husband to CasinoRama for the weekend. They deserve a mini vacation and I would watch my 2 grandkids for them. I have been to the casino and know they would have an amazing time there!
  16. Danielle Harper Monday - 03 / 12 / 2012 Reply
    This would be amazing for my husband and I !! We have never taken a honeymooon or really any trip together ! We have 2 kids and life gets very busy .. A trip like ths would be pretty amazing to win !!

    A weekend away...ahhhhhhh. No dog, no kids, no stress, no dishes, no laundry, no... no... no.... Just a relaxing weekend for two. A nice dinner and a lot of excitement playing Adult games.

    Wow! Another awesome giveaway. I have never been to a casino. Would love to win this as a night away for my fiance and I. We both work full time and have 2 year old twin boys. He also has a 16yr old and 12 yr old. We dont get to spend much time alone together. With a wedding in the future this would be an awesome pre wedding honeymoon!

    I would LOVE to win this getaway and to take my mom. She has been my rock and I would love to be able to give something like this to her to treat her. After I had my baby I would have been lost without her guidance and support, she has been there with me through everything. She deserves it!

    I would love to take my mom to casino rama for the weekend. She hasn't been able to get out much over the past two years and deserves a weekend away more than anyone I know!
  26. Crystal Dubeau Monday - 03 / 12 / 2012 Reply
    I would love to take my parents out to the casino - they loved going out there, but ever since my Dad broke his back in a work accident, (which the insurance refused to cover) their money has been spent on life`s bare necessities, not on fun! This would be amazing, and maybe even bring them a little luck, and some extra Christmas money! :D
  27. Angie Foster Monday - 03 / 12 / 2012 Reply
    I just celebrated my 5th Wedding Anniversary. We never went on a honeymoon and have never been away for even a night without the kids. Would love a little getaway~
  28. Nadine Monday - 03 / 12 / 2012 Reply
    This would be fantastic! The only way my partner and I can currently afford to get away from everything. :) Thank you OVM for wonderful giveaways!
  29. Colleen Monday - 03 / 12 / 2012 Reply
    My Grandmother lives 15 minutes away from Casino Rama, so having the gift certificate would be awesome. We could stay at the Hotel and the kids could visit with their Great-Grandma. We love visiting Casino Rama when we are in Orillia, always a fun night out.

    Could definitely use a romantic getaway with my man. Having a 4 month old at home there has not been much time for that! Very exciting prizr!

    Ladies, you always have such neat giveaways! I would love to be able to take my husband away for a weekend to reconnect. We have been through a few stressful situations since our daughter was born in April and it has taken its toll on your relationship. It would be really nice to be able to show my husband how much I still love and appreciate him and to reconnect as a couple. Thank you for a chance to make that happen! Good luck to everyone how enters!!

    My husband would be absolutely knocked off his feet if i told him we wont his prize. I would love nothing more then to take him there and relax. We have teenagers and a little special needs child who is trying our patience as of late and my hubby really needs a rest.....Decis his busiest season at work and he is working 15-16 hr days :(

    I'd love to treat a couple of girl friends for a weekend away. It's a perfect way to catch up with long-time friends who get neglected because life gets in the way!

    What a great giveaway! I would love this prize package because I don't get away with my husband very much. What a wonderful opportunity to have some quality "couple" time!

    We have newborn twins and could really use a weekend away to recharge. This would be great!

    I would love the opportunity to get away with my husband before baby number two arrives in the spring!! Our two year-old would also love a weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's while we're away, I'm sure!!
  48. Karla H Monday - 03 / 12 / 2012 Reply
    I would loooove to just go away and do something fun! I NEVER get out between school and being a mom, it is virtually impossible. A weekend away with no worries would probably do me well :)

    After the last couple of months, I need a break. Casino Rama is the perfect solution.

    Would be a wonderful place to relax, have some fun and decompress from the stresses of life. Single parent, major changes at work, feeling disconnected with not only myself but my BFF. A great Girls Weekend Away!!! Casino Rama would be a perfect place to go.

    My husband will be away for 2 months for work...when he gets back some "me" time would be well deserved while he does some catching up with the kids. I think a girls weekend will be in order. I'd love a getaway with him too however he'll be on 'daddy duty'. :-)

    My husband and I got married at Casino Rama Hotel almost 8 years ago! While we now live and operate a business in Ottawa, it's always fun to think about heading back for a weekend getaway! With grandparents living in Orillia - babysitting is practically built in!!

    Would love to have an adult only weekend with my husband! That has not happened since we had our first baby four years ago! Time to get some "alone" time, fun and romance back into our life! ;)

    Really..... do I need a reason? lol I don't remember last time my wonderful husband and I had time to ourselves. My husband works two jobs to make ends meet. This would be for HIM, time to get away and sleep, having fun with his wife (me!) It's been a tough year and nothing would be better than spending time together and having fun. No matter what....in life...when we have kids and a wonderful husband....we end up winners anyways. Merry Christmas!

    So I spent an hour trying to enter this contest last night, as my internet connection was so bad!!! My husband and I could use a getaway!!!! :) We are both working non stop and never take time for ourselves. He has been saying we need to go on a "date night" but we just can't seem to find the time. I'd probably drive the 1.5 hour drive to his work just to tell him if we won as I'd be so excited! :)

    I would love the chance to go. I have a friend who lives near there and it would be fun to spend some time with her at the Casino, since we used to do these types of trips during March Break. Also, she has had a lot of hard times lately and it would be nice to treat her to some fun girl time at Casino Rama.

  76. Agnes Tuesday - 11 / 12 / 2012 Reply
    I have never heard of Casino Rama until now. I would be so happy if I win because my husband always tries to find a reason we shouldn't go away for a weekend because he wants to stay at home with the baby. But I know it's important for us to have some couple time too. And if we win a package, he won't be able to come up with an excuse :D!
  77. Colleen C Tuesday - 11 / 12 / 2012 Reply
    John and I could really use a weekend away, relaxing, not worrying about anything. Just being with each other. We would take some time to enjoy the spa and to visit Orilla as well. This would be such a precious gift. Thanks for the chance to enjoy a little time for "us".
  78. SUMMER PLEWES Wednesday - 12 / 12 / 2012 Reply
    i let them know you sent me. I would love to take my hubby away for a weekend of fun living it up at Rama. Maybe we could win big :) or, just have a great time trying. I would love this. It would be a time to play, relax and maybe see a show too!
  79. Deb H Wednesday - 12 / 12 / 2012 Reply
    Told Casino Rama you sent me. Would love a weekend away; who wouldn't. Unfortunately it does not happen enough. Would combine a weekend away with a visit with my son who is at school in the vicinity.
