LAS VEGAS, NV, December 4, 2006. Welcome to Vegas, baby, home of the Rat Pack - Frank, Dino, and Sammy. This famous trio knew how to live life to the fullest and the lifestyle they lived is a thing of dreams. Now, JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa offers the chance to live that dream with its exclusive fantasy package - 'The Ultimate Mancation!' Following the hottest travel trend today, the JW Marriott Las Vegas 'Mancation' is a package that lets men be men and experience the best trip to Vegas anyone's had since the heyday of the Rat Pack.

Arriving by private stretch limo to a breathtaking Mediterranean-style resort, guests spend the next four days and three nights as stars in the sky, equal to no man. Upon arrival, the four gentlemen are met by an executive casino host and given $1000 each in actual gaming chips for play in Rampart Casino, with a hostess on-hand to serve complimentary martinis.

Now, the dream life has got its perks. The pad: two gorgeous and oversized two-bedroom suites to call home. The service: a private butler for the entirety of the stay, there to care for every need, every want, every desire. And the super luxe bar is restocked daily with ultra premium beverages and snacks. And of course, don't forget the ride. Getting around town has got to be classy, and the 'Mancation' knows just what the man's man wants: a Ferrari 360 Spider. Feel every curve of the road in this technological and artistic marvel. This Italian masterpiece will serve as chariot for the entire stay and delight even the most jaded of drivers. Bring back the Golden Age, because it's back, baby.

If that speed isn't enough, how about a day on the track learning to master the corners like the pros do? On day two of the 'Mancation,' guests feel the rush of driving an Extreme Radical Racecar, powered by a Suzuki Hayabusa engine, around a 3.5-mile track at the Club Spring Mountain Motorsports Country Club. Enjoy a full day of exclusive lessons from racing professionals, learning every aspect of the driver trade, from cornering tight to controlling the sequential shifters just right. This is an experience no one will ever forget.

On day three of the 'Mancation,' life will take on a more leisurely pace for a day of golf and spa treatments, something any man of consequence can appreciate. Guests start out at the TPC at the Canyons, home to the PGA Tour Frys.com Open in Las Vegas, where each guest is presented with a brand new set of deluxe golf clubs for a day of play and to take home (new club cost based on $2000 per person). Spend an invigorating morning on the greens with the TPC's pro as guide, and then return to the resort to relax at the Aquae Sulis Spa. Enter the spa's 40,000 square-foot oasis of calm and discover the healing power of a Sports Massage, coupled with the 19th Hole Foot Massage, leaving everyone refreshed and rejuvenated.

No good time is worth its salt if the food isn't up to snuff and the 'Mancation' serves up a dining experience fit for both international pop stars and high-powered CEOs. Breakfast is served every morning at Ceres Restaurant, providing the perfect morning sustenance for these days of sport and leisure. On the first night, enjoy a casual dinner at the resort's authentic J.C. Wooloughan's Irish Pub, brought stick and mortar in its entirety from Ireland. A private beer tasting with the Publican and a hearty meal is only the start of this over-the-top dining extravaganza.

Dinner on night two is served in the Carmel Room's private library. This is the type of venue where Frank would start talking politics, Dean would calm him down with a quick retort, and Sammy - well, Sammy would laugh, because he knew it was all a joke. This place personifies "smoky" - cool, sexy, and a little unpredictable. Here's an old-style Vegas dinner the way it was meant to be.

For the final night in Vegas, a last supper of sorts is planned. Reminiscent of old Vegas when VIPs, high-rollers, and celebrities dined in their private salons and suites, the evening begins with champagne cocktails and proceeds to the main event. This gastronomical experience, courtesy of world-renowned celebrity chef Gustav Mauler, CMC, includes a seven course dinner, prepared to the guest's request. Chef Gustav will fly in the world's most exotic ingredients - game, shellfish, domestic meats, seafood - and pair the courses with fine wines from across the globe. The Certified Master Chef and his staff will attend to the evening's every detail and, after the final course is served, Chef Gustav will join the group on the balcony for aged cognac, fine cigars, and conversation.
