Default three weeks holiday

You want three weeks holiday? You should be so lucky!

The sentence above comes from Longman Dictionary 4th edition, lucky.

My question is whether we can use 'three weeks holiday' instead of 'three weeks' holiday'. And by the way, does the sentence mean 'You should be so lucky but you won't be'?

Thank you very much!
