Las Vegas will be getting a whole town's worth of visitors this weekend.

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority put on a campaign to find the most unique town in all of the 50 states.

The winner was a small Texas community named Cranfills Gap.

Residents get a free trip and will appear in the city's new ad campaign.

"With that national recognition, maybe people will come visit … see what we're all about,” said Ron Hubbard, of the Cranfills Gap City Council.

Most Gap residents ages 21 and older are expected to be in the Valley this weekend.
