Travel Sweepstakes in Aurora, CO: Updated 2026 List for Local Winners

There is no verified 2026 Aurora-only travel sweepstakes or program reserved for local winners. The accurate list includes three travel sweepstakes open to eligible Aurora residents as of August 26, 2026. A sweepstakes offers a chance to win, not a guaranteed benefit.

Visit Aurora's former "Gateway to the Rockies Sweepstakes" URL now redirects to its tourism homepage, so Visit Aurora does not document a current Aurora-specific promotion there.

Fandango's Mesa Verde trip

Aurora residents can enter Fandango's Colorado Stargazing Sweepstakes through September 6, 2026. One winner receives a Mesa Verde trip for two with airfare, three lodge nights, car transportation, and a $600 meal allowance. Fandango lists an approximate retail value of $4,799 in the Colorado Stargazing Sweepstakes rules.

Fandango allows one free alternate online entry without buying a movie ticket. That is a no-purchase entry method, not a free or guaranteed vacation. The winner must be at least 21 or travel with a guest who is 21 or older.

Denver Broncos away-game trip

The Denver Broncos' Away Game Sweepstakes closes December 7, 2026. One winner receives two tickets to the Broncos–Patriots game in New England, a two-night hotel stay, and a $1,000 travel credit. The game is scheduled for January 2 or 3, 2027.

The prize excludes transportation to or from Denver, meals, taxes, insurance, and other incidentals, according to the Denver Broncos Away Game Sweepstakes rules. Aurora entrants should estimate those costs before deciding whether the prize fits their budget.

LandTrust's Colorado elk hunt

LandTrust's Colorado Elk Hunt sweepstakes runs through September 14, 2026. The $7,200 prize includes a five-day Colorado elk hunt for two, lodging, and trout fishing. Eligible entrants must be U.S.

residents aged 21 or older with a hunter-safety number and/or valid hunting license. The winner must cover travel, licenses, and tags, as specified in LandTrust's sweepstakes terms. This opportunity has narrower requirements than a general vacation giveaway.

Before entering, verify that you meet the hunting requirements and can afford every item excluded from the prize.

How to choose and enter

Start with eligibility and uncovered costs rather than the advertised prize value. Airfare, meals, permits, local transportation, and taxes can determine whether accepting a prize is practical. Before submitting an entry: These promotions are open to qualifying Aurora residents, but none is documented as an Aurora-only winner program.

Aurora residency therefore provides access, not a special local advantage or certainty of winning.

• Confirm the deadline, residency rule, and age requirement.
• Use a no-purchase entry route when the rules provide one.
• Check whether a travel companion must meet an age requirement.
• Estimate expenses that the sponsor will not cover.
• Save the rules and entry confirmation for reference.
