Five-year-old Samantha Buckley, who was diagnosed with a blood disorder at just one month, dreams of being the belle of a ball that is fit for a princess. Thanks to Make-A-Wish Southern Nevada and Caesars Entertainment, Samantha will get her royal wish. Caesars’ team members – dressed as princes and princesses – will majestically greet Samantha at the “palace” porte-cochere and escort her and her family to a private area where she can choose from a collection of colorful princess dresses and crowns, perhaps even one that is pink just like her favorite Princess Peach.
Buckley and her family will enjoy a two-day staycation at Caesars Palace with experiences fit for royalty, including dinner at Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen, a ride on the high roller, manicure at the spa, dinner at Maggiano’s Little Italy, tickets to Mystere, time at the pool, and more. There may even be Samantha’s favorite chocolate cake, Oreo cookies and Pringles along the way before retiring to the royal suite for the night.
Samantha’s blood disorder requires her to receive monthly blood transfusions, but that never stops her from letting her inner princess shine bright. Although her medical journey hasn’t been easy, the whole Buckley family is ready for Samantha’s royal quest at one of Las Vegas’ best-known palaces where they will enjoy a magical experience Samantha won’t soon forget.
