Just check hotel calendars -Caesar's/Flamingo/Bally's for example has their rates online scheduled on a calendar 3 months out and it gives you a good idea when there are no conventions in town which really jack up rates. I'd also splurge a bit and stay in a hotel with a nice pool...it will go a long way for that R&R feeling. _______________________ Travel quote of the week: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

iwannaprettyone Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,547 Last Post: 11/17/2009 Member Since: 2/5/2002	Thanks ladies. Just to be more specific it is $400 per person. I have seen a couple of mexico deals but they are sketchy at best. We don't mind driving 5-10 hours to the destination- just have a problem with inspiration. Anyone done Hot Springs or somewhere in Tennessee? Iwanna x (IWPO) *****Status: MARRIED!!!!*****

decodelighted Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,625 Last Post: 11/16/2009 Member Since: 7/27/2005	What about Santa Fe, New Mexico ... or what's that New Agey place ... Sedona? I thought Santa Fe was fun ... but it might not be so different than TX ... not sure (haven't been anywhere in TX but Austin). If you go to Santa Fe check out Ten Thousand Waves!

We don't mind driving 5-10 hours to the destination- just have a problem with inspiration. Anyone done Hot Springs or somewhere in Tennessee? Gatlinburg, TN is pretty fun, very touristy with lots of tours and places to go and see. It is in the middle of the Smoky Mountians, so the location is beautiful! The room rates are affordable...and so is everything else! The towns hosts about 3 or 4 Ripley Believe It or Not museums, and the aquarium is absolutely amazing. There are tons of little shops to explore on a centrally located strip, and about a million little candy stores...think: hand pulled taffy, homemade fudge. Oh, and Dollywood is there, too! For being as "popular" as it is, it is still relaxing just because of the breathtaking location. You're in the middle of the mountains! So you can absolutely get a glass of wine and just relax at your hotel. And, if you're feeling like having an adventure...many of the towns leading into Gatlinburg have little farmers markets, petting zoos, and other road side stands. If you're looking for an inexpensive but still fun getaway, I'd surely consider this as an option...here is a link to more specific information! http://www.gatlinburg.com/default.asp ____________________________ Remember to keep your words soft and sweet...you may have to eat them someday.

OMG Mara please share where you found that deal - that sounds AMAZING. I agree - I've been finding some amazing deals recently - I like Travelzoo for looking, but wherever Mara's looking sounds pretty amazing too

I was gonna suggest scottdale, but it always seemed like a pricey destination to me. That's a great deal Mara! IWPO, I hate them, but a lot of people like those "booze cruises" that leave from LA and go to ensenada. _______________________ Travel quote of the week: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,912 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	ha ha well i procrastinated forever on booking, but i booked through orbitz yesterday. both expedia and orbitz turned off fees on flights so that is free now. also orbitz has a bunch of coupons out there for certain destinations, the one i used was just $75 off a 3 day trip...you can google and find it. expedia had a $100 off 4 nights but when i tried to use it, it did not work so not sure if it was expired or what. but check out orbitz for scottsdale and phoenix for hotel and flight, there were a TON of places that were even cheaper like $300 per person. but we wanted the 5 star treatment and we like kind of funky places, there are a lot of options. only downer is that our place is like WAY out of the way so we have to get a car which will be like $200 for 3 days, but there are a lot of resort places closer that shuttle you in PHX and Scottsdale...so if you don't want to drive at all, check those out too. and depending on where you are, US airways has a huge PHX hub so the airfare was super cheap from CA...like southwest airlines pricing. and we got DIRECT flights so it's just 1.5 hours on the plane and then we are in resort land. yay. good luck! ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

AmberGretchen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,046 Last Post: 11/11/2009 Member Since: 1/6/2005	Mara - that sounds awesome. The deals have been insane lately. DH and I went away in February and we managed to get the most amazing deal at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa - it was like $179 a night (normally like $400), and it came with free access to the (amazing) spa, and free cocktails in the lounge every night, along with other perks. It was so amazing I think I might be convert to luxury/spa vacays ( I know, there's a shocker, right? ).
