Readers’ poll wraps up with top shopping, snarky worst

You're almost there.

It's Week Three and here is the very last 2009 Best of Las Vegas ballot. When you finish this, you can sit back, relax and wait until March 29, when the results are published and you'll find out if you're a winner of one of our wonderful prizes.

To bring you up to date, we published ballots in three parts; then each of those ballots three times -- all in three weeks. (That's what you get for starting something right after Christmas, it must be those three wise men that inspired this.)

The deadline for the third and final ballot is 5 p.m. Monday, for both paper ballots and online at www.lvrj.com/bestoflv.

The final ballot includes the Shopping, People, Sports Spots and Best of the Worst categories.

There are three new choices to make in the Shopping category: Best Bank, Best Mobile Phone Service and Best Mobile Device. Best Tobacco Store has returned to the list, increasing the total to 35 decisions.

There are 19 possibilities in the People category, including the provocative Las Vegan You'd Like to Know More About.

Sports Spots won't raise a sweat because there are just six categories.

And we always leave Best of the Worst for last, knowing the devilish among our readers have been conjuring up people, places and things to skewer.

Don't forget our rules: write legibly, send only original entries and don't stuff the ballot box.

When all ballots are in hand, we will draw winners for our wonderful prizes: two tickets to Best All-Around Performer, two tickets to Best Show, dinner for two at the Best Gourmet Restaurant in a hotel, dinner for two at the Best Gourmet Restaurant not in a hotel, lunch for two at the Best Place for a Power Lunch, a gift certificate from the Best Mall and a full-fledged night on the town, featuring dinner, a show and an overnight stay in a local hotel.
