How To Get Discounts For Hotels And Cheap Las Vegas Vacations

Everybody wants to go to Vegas at least once in their life. Me? I have been about 100 times. I love it even though I am not a big gambler.

When we first started to go to Las Vegas years ago we stayed at the cheapest hotels we could find, on and off the Strip. But here is the key to getting the most for your money, discounts for hotels and a cheap Las Vegas vacation. Whenever we went, we always got players club cards which every hotel has. We went to all the different casinos to gamble, no matter where we were staying. Right away you get in their system. Soon you will start to receive discounts on hotel rooms, buffets, money toward gambling, shows and other offers. Then you move up.

Now, when we go to Vegas we stay at only 4 or 5 star hotels at greatly reduced rates. Vegas isn't as cheap as it used to be but you can still have a first class vacation for discounted rates. And it's worth it!

The Coolest, Cheap Vacations Are Off The Beaten Path

I love a road trip. I would much rather travel by car than by plane because that way you can see all the great, unexpected countryside and stops. There is so many interesting, weird and fascinating things for travelers to see that make for the coolest, cheap vacations out there when you are driving.

Taking a road trip just about anywhere in the United States to me, is a great idea. There are plenty of very cool stops off the beaten path that those who fly just won't be able to ever see and experience.

For instance, last week I took a trip up to Portland, Oregon with the family and besides seeing the very beautiful (and wet) forests of Oregon and eating at some very good (and cheap) restaurants, we stopped by a little place off the Interstate called the Mystery House or the Oregon Vortex.

This is a place that has been featured on television on such shows as the Discovery Channel and the Travel Channel to name just a few. Built in the 1890's as an assay office for a mining company and in 1910 the building slid down the hill in a storm. The house is not plumb or level and awkwardly skewd. Visitors get a feeling of uneasiness and disorientation inside and outside of the house.

But it is not really the house that makes you feel this way but the area of land it sits on and around it. The Oregon Vortex is a spherical field of whirling force, they say, with 1/2 above ground and 1/2 below the ground. This force makes a dome like field which bends and refracts light to make things appear to have different physical properties. It all sounds too amazing but I can say it is true since I have experienced it for myself. Next time you are in Oregon do not miss the Mystery House!

Expedia Has Cheap Vacation Ideas

I hate getting junk mail in my e-mail. But occasionally there will be one or two worth looking at. I often get e-mail from Expedia Travel Deals that I have ignored in the past. This time I opened it up just to see what they had to offer.

Turns out there are selling some pretty cheap vacation ideas here. Spring vacation packages that are starting at just $269 when you book through May 15, 2008, although how high they can go is anyone's guess. But they are also promising trips to Providence at $69 a night, the Caribbean starting at $375 and Miami packages for $484. Summer cruises, vacations to Paris, last minute bookings, Orlando, Alaska, Las Vegas, New York, you name it and they have a deal waiting for you.

Gotta admit though, if I were planning a trip I would give Expedia a call and compare prices at least.

Tranquil And Cheap Vacation Spots In California

Are you looking for tranquil and hectic free yet fairly cheap vacation spots in California this Spring Break? Then avoid the usual tourist trappings of Disneyland and other theme parks and busy, overcrowded beaches. You can find plenty of fun in sunny filled California doing other things.

Want to get a little fishing in? Then try mid-way up the state and head to Monteray. Here you will find plenty of peace and quiet plus a great place for anglers to throw their rods in at the Old Fisherman's Wharf.

Down by beautiful Oxnard, California you can get your fill of strawberries since it is the strawberry world capital. Great for the family.

For more sun and a bit warmer weather head over to Long Beach where you will find all the typical Southern California experience. Walk the piers, take a boat trip to Catalina island and enjoy the many wonderful restaurants all for a pretty good price.
