Raising Money for Vegas Trip: Ideas Welcome!

In summary, the person is looking for ideas and help to raise $1200 by November 15th for a trip to Vegas with their boyfriend. They are considering stopping grad school, picking up waitressing shifts, and possibly doing a Vegas-style cooking show to promote martinis. They are open to any ideas and are getting desperate. Some possible suggestions include hosting a fundraiser event, offering services or skills for a fee, selling items online, starting a crowdfunding campaign, offering a special deal or promotion, reaching out to their network for donations, getting a part-time job, doing odd jobs for neighbors, hosting a garage sale, and looking for grants or scholarships.

Okay...need ideas and help since I'm drawing a blank...

I have to go to Vegas with my boyfriend and need to raise 1200 dollars by November 15th.

I'm hoping to get shows, but I have been very limited because of grad school. I'm thinking of stopping grad school a semester, trying to pick up waitressing shifts at another job I have and am wondering if there is some type of Vegas style cooking show I could do to promote our martinis but also...send your consultant to Vegas, LOL.

Any ideas out there?? I'm getting desperate and am worrying constantly over this money since I have no other way of getting it minus working hard. I work full-time in the week as is, in addition to the restaurant, selling mark. makeup and this and go to school.

So thoughts are VERY, VERY welcome!!

Thanks so much; love you guys and your creativity!

A Vegas theme show would be Fun maybe someone creative out there has some ideas The MARTINI glasses are a good start
