Who Won the Vegas Vickie Lookalike Contest on Halloween at Circa?

I was following the Vegas Vickie Halloween contest at Circa, but I never found out who won or anything. Can you tell me?

On Halloween, 30 women dressed up like the neon icon Vegas Vickie and gathered at Circa downtown, where the original sign is now located, kicking her mechanical boot and welcoming visitors to her namesake cocktail lounge. The lookalikes were vying for the first-ever "Neon Idol" costume contest.

A panel of six local personalities judged the entrants, including VitalVegas' Scott Roeben, Las Vegas Review-Journal entertainment columnist John Katsilometes, and “Horny” Mike Henry from “Counting Cars” on The History Channel.

The winner was Las Vegan Mistianna Lund, whose costume featured more than 3,000 jewels and took 115 hours to make. She won $10,000, but donated the prize money to her non-profit, Answers4Cancer, where she serves as president. The organization provides individuals battling cancer funds for holistic services, such as chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, and more, at zero cost to the patient.

You can read the long colorful history of the Vegas Vickie in our most recent QoD on the neon cowgirl.

Really?

Why is this even a QOD?  This information can be so easily be found. There is this new website called Google. It's at https://www.google.com.  It's really cool.  You can type pretty much anything in and it gives answers to questions.   Sometimes you have to do a little extra leg work, to verify the answer is correct. but you can literally type "Who won the Vegas Vickie Contest" then push the enter key on your keyboard.  The answer actually comes up in big bold letters with a link to an accompanying article.   Isn't that neat?

Trolls

Why do trolls like @Gregory always want to comment and insist people need to go search stuff? It's a story about Vegas and most people come here for entertaining/inside stories about Vegas. If you want to be a search bot go right ahead, but we don't need your comments if you don't like it. I would agree there should be a single pic of the winner, but either way it looked like people had lots of fun with the contest.

Is it interesting?

I think LVA tries to post questions that attracts viewers on a regular basis to keep people interested in LVA. I’ve never gone a day without reading the LVA mostly because of the QoD. Maybe LVA should have us rate the question one through five stars to get a better feel. Granted this entry wasn’t for me but it did remind me of what goes on in Vegas and keeps me interested in Vegas. This keeps me interested in LVA, keeping AC and his crew in the money.

EXACTLY!!!!  We know search engines. But QoD is more personal, reader-friendly, gives the best answers, back stories, different slants on a topic, and entertaining contributions from other posters. Like an old friend to visit daily, whether the conversation takes a fresh turn or rehashes the familiar.  And generally is snark-free!

Vegas Vickie contest

If you can copy and paste this link it's an article at Vital Vegas about the contest, includes many photos including the winner. And yes, there was a guy that entered the contest, but he wasn't feminine-enough in appearance, quite the opposite, I guess he was goofing.
