Contestant's Case to Win

Hi, my name is Dan. I walk up and down the Las Vegas Strip every day selling my body. Well, only part of my body. The upper part. The part that wears t-shirts. YOUR t-shirts.

On average, 17,700 people are walking on the Strip at any given hour on any given day. During peak times there are as many as 40,000. (Source: Las Vegas Sun)

During 2010, once a day -- rain or shine -- I will walk from Mandalay Bay to the Fashion Show Mall and back while wearing your t-shirt -- up one side of the Strip and down the other. Some days I'll go the opposite direction. Sometimes I'll go through the casinos and sometimes I'll stay on the street but I'll always go where the crowds are.

I'll do a short video promo for each advertiser and I will document my walks every day through video, pictures, blog and various social media outlets (twitter, facebook, etc.). I'll also track my route in real time via GPS.

Each day costs $1 more than the day before.
January 1 is $1 and December 31 is $365.

A portion of the proceeds are donated to local charities.
