Her winning video appealed to voters because of her charming plea for needing to shake up her mundane routine, which consists of hip therapy and 20-plus years of dateless nights. In the video, Karen is sitting alone with lipstick on but nowhere to go, all cleverly presented through a heartfelt rhyme.

Karen and three of her friends will experience the ultimate weekend in Las Vegas this coming weekend, September 24-26. They will receive VIP treatment from the moment they arrive, highlighted by luxury limo transportation, a red-carpet greeting upon arrival at MGM Grand, a luxurious 2-bedroom suite, gourmet dinners at award-winning restaurants SEABLUE and FiAMMA Trattoria, a poolside cabana at celebrity hot-spot WET REPUBLIC, $400 in FREEPLAY for use in the MGM Grand Casino, reserved tables and bottle service at Studio 54 and Tabu Ultra Lounge, tickets to KA by Cirque du Soleil including a private meet-and-greet with the performers, rejuvenating spa treatments at MGM Grand Spa, a private helicopter tour of The Strip...and more!  

"MGM Grand is thrilled with the outcome of its Get a Life Giveaway contest," said Teresa Fry, Director of Advertising for MGM Grand. "The entries ran the gamut from clever videos such as the Heavy E Rapper and Check No Mate, to a day-in-the-life look at the desperate Deli Guys, Johnny & Adam; and Mannequin Lady, who captured the attention of many with her rather unusual collection. We look forward to Karen and her friends indulging in all of MGM Grand's amenities for what may be the weekend of their lives."

The Get a Life Giveaway contest attracted participants with entertaining videos from around the country. The public and MGM Grand staff voted on their favorite videos and selected 10 to move on to a final round. For complete contest details, visit getalifegiveaway.com.
