Florida City Offers Free Gas For Tourists FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - With gas prices on the rise, officials with Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau are offering tourists a little financial help. President Nicki Grossman says the agency will offer $25 gas cards to summer hotel guests who book a two-night stay at select hotels through its website or Facebook page. The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports the agency is prepared to spend up to $100,000 for gas cards and another $100,000 to promote the offer. Grossman told the newspaper that having guests in the hotel rooms is worth the price of the gas cards.
