DALLAS, Feb. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Love may be in the air this season, as Hotels.com® reveals the celebrities we'd most love to jet off and spend a vacation with. Tom Hanks and Jennifer Aniston are officially the nation's most desired travel buddies, but what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Sin City is the place we'd most want to take our favorite stars, but it seems we're more interested in shopping than showing off. Over a third admitted they'd rather be taken on an all-expenses-paid shopping spree (34%), than attend awards events (29%) or go on a private jet (29%) with a celeb pal. We'd have no selfie shame though, as over a quarter of us (28%) would demand constant selfies!
Hang out with Hanks
Beloved actor Tom Hanks (32%) was named the top male celebrity travel companion in the Hotels.com survey, but we'd also love to vacation with George Clooney (24%), Denzel Washington (22%), Morgan Freeman (21%) and Justin Timberlake (19%).
The Real Friends Experience
The nation's sweetheart Jennifer Aniston (29%) topped the female travel buddy chart, with many probably hoping she'd take them to her usual Cabo San Lucas hangouts. Travelers would also love to check-in to a vacay hotspot with Jennifer Lopez (20%), Ellen DeGeneres (19%), Selena Gomez (14%) and Beyoncé (13%).

Keeping away from the Kardashians
While the Kardashians appear to be on a constant vacation, it seems not many Americans actually want to tag along with them. Politics aside, after Trump and Clinton, the Kardashians (36%) and Kanye West (38%) were revealed as the least popular travel companions.
Catch the Award Nominees
With the awards season underway, travelers can also keep an eye out for their favorite nominees. Ryan Gosling (12%) and Denzel Washington (22%), nominated for awards, made the list of top celebrities to spend a vacation with. If you're planning to catch your favorite celebs on the red carpet in person, here are some hotel suggestions to help create the ultimate celebrity vacation in Los Angeles, Viceroy L'Ermitage, Sunset Tower Hotel and The Hollywood Roosevelt.
Bright Lights and Beaches
We'd most like to whisk our favorite celebrity away for a week of fun in Las Vegas (27%), but many Americans also dream of flying abroad. A quarter want to experience the culture of Paris (27%) and London (24%) with their beloved celebrity, or relax on the exotic beaches of The Caribbean (24%) or Greece (23%).
