How to Find Cheap Vegas Hotels


By B.A. Johanneson

Everyone loves traveling to Las Vegas. Many people come for different reasons, but at the end of the day, Vegas is the place to be. Those who enjoy fine dining love the restaurants that Las Vegas has to offer. Those who enjoy concerts and shows find Vegas the perfect vacation spot. And, as always, those who like to shop, gamble, and party have found a vacation spot in Vegas. While many people love to splurge, there are people who head to Vegas on a budget. People fear the hotel prices, as they are often as extravagantly priced as the town. There are tips and tricks to finding cheap Vegas hotels, however, that can help you to save money on the hotel room itself.

Look off the Strip

The Vegas strip is well known for its incredible and luxurious hotels. While the prices are not necessarily "insanely" high, they may still be too high for those who are looking to stay in a hotel for their trip to Vegas. There are many hotels, however, that exist both on and off of the strip that are not huge and costly. If you are really looking for cheap Vegas hotels, look at the hotels that are off of the Vegas strip; these hotels often have cheaper prices in an attempt to attract people away from the strip itself.

Use Price Comparison to your Advantage

Price comparison is the best way to find cheap Vegas hotels; by asking around and finding the prices at multiple hotels both on and off of the strip, you will be able to find the cheapest prices for the room that you need. If you are traveling at a time that is not as busy as usual, you may ask one hotel to match the price of another; this may help you get into a better hotel for the same price as a lower hotel.

Call the Hotel to Simply Ask for Discounts

Calling the hotel is an older but useful way to get discounts on rooms that the hotel offers. If a hotel is at a downtime, or is not full, they may actually offer you a discount on a room; they will not throw out the discount, however. You need to ask for the discount to even be able to find one. By taking a relaxed and nice approach, you may get a hotel to lower a room price for you in order to get your business. While this may not always work, it is always worth a shot, as hotels are actually willing to be more flexible than people realize.

There are multiple ways to make sure that you can find the cheap Vegas hotels that you are looking for. While some people are on a budget, others simply want to save the extra money to do more things on their trip to Vegas. Either way, finding the cheap Vegas hotels is easier than some may think, and can lead to a greater Las Vegas trip.

Hotels - Sharm El Sheikh, An Introduction


By Liam Gerken

Situated on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, Sharm El Sheikh or Sharm for short is where the momentous deserts of Egypt come to an abrupt end on the coast of the Red Sea.

These tropical waters boast some of the world's most exquisite coral reefs with a magnificent selection of rare fish and exotic flora.

Known as the "city of peace", Sharm is proving the most popular destination on the Sinai with its highly developed infrastructure and easily accessible amenities. In fact, Sharm's increasing popularity has led to the Egyptian government pushing local developers to build more coastal resorts; Sharm however, remains the favourite.

As mentioned the region is home to some of the world's most impressive underwater scenery, and this is by far the number one tourist attraction of the Sharm.

A great deal of the coasts popularity is lent from the fact that it can be enjoyed by simply snorkeling off the coast, essentially making it accessible to everyone who can swim.

To truly experience what the Red Sea's coast has to offer though, one should opt to scuba dive, with world class diving training and a wealth of shops to accommodate divers Sharm offers a first rate diving experience.

There is of course, much more to Sharm than beaches and sea, and out of the water one is able to get a true feel for the majestic region of the Sinai, with its dramatic mountains and valleys, numerous national parks and historic monuments.

Notably, St. Catherine's Monastery, constructed in the 6th century is the oldest functioning monastery on the planet and situated just a few miles from the coast.

Sharm has built up an excellent infrastructure of high-class hotels, villas, restaurants and bars to serve its visitors; in fact in some places it's easy to forget you are holidaying in an Egyptian resort as you get the impression of a slight European refinement.

Walking the boardwalks at night, Sharm's lively bars and clubs become some what reminiscent of the kaleidoscope of colours and sounds that is Las Vegas by night.

As mentioned there are a wealth of high class hotels and villa's dotted along the coast, it is also possible to find cheap hotels for those on a budget. The internet is an excellent source for finding hotels in Sharm El Sheikh.

By Caroline Miller

As with any country that welcomes tourists, Turkey has a wide variety of accommodations to fit any budget and taste.

Hotels for any Price Range

As a bridge between Europe and Asia, Turkey is a vacationer's paradise and as such, offers a variety of accommodati0n options. Choose a familiar name chain hotel, or one of Turkey's local chains. Hotels can be five star luxury retreats complete with spa treatments available, or you can opt to stay in a more budget minded hotel which allows you to save more money to spend on fun. Amenities vary from hotel to hotel, but with research, you'll fnd the ideal spot to hang your hat in town.

A Room at the Inn

Turkey isn't home to just hotels; there are many other options you can choose from to give you an authentic Turkish experience. Ottoman mansion inns will transport you to a time when the Ottoman Empire ruled the deserts. Stay in an historic home that is a charming bed and breakfast, where you can soak in the local color.

Cappadocia Cave Dwellings

A truly unique experience is staying in the Cappadocia cave dwellings. Enjoy the primitive feel of sleeping in a cave, while having all the modern amenities you expect when on holiday.

Resorts

Turkey offers visitors a selection of resorts to meet their vacation needs. Opt for a golf resort where you can putt on the links to your hearts content. Choose a spa resort where pampering is the main objective. A beach resort is perfect for a family vacation. Some of the resorts offer touring packages, such as horseback riding treks, bicycling treks as well as walking and hiking tours.

The View from the Water

Rent a cabin on a traditional gulet or charter a yacht to cruise the Mediterranean. You will also find many cruise options here. Sleep overnight, or choose a longer itinerary where you can be lulled to sleep by the movement of the ocean and cooled by the sea breezes.

Real Budget Accommodations

There are a number of youth hostels and motels that cater to those on a shoe string budget. These rooms are clean and comfortable, but lack the amenities the more expensive options boast of. You will be pleasantly surprised the price and comfort level, however. Staying in such accommodations can leave you with plenty of cash to sample all that Turkey offers to her visitors.

Hotels - Florence, an Introduction


By Liam Gerken

Situated on the banks of the Arno River, just below the foothills of the Apennines is the city of Florence. The city is the capital of the Tuscany region of Italy and is considered one of the most elegant cities in the world, both rich in art and cosmopolitan style.

During the hot summer months thousands of tourists choose to flock to the city for these very reasons, which can make it somewhat overwhelming and even unpleasant for those wishing to take the city in at their own pace. For the more serious tourist or art lover, Florence is best experienced during the quieter and cooler months of spring or autumn.

At the heart of Florence lie the bustling piazzas (open city squares) of de Duomo and Della Signoria. Dominating de Duomo is Florence's cathedral, the Duomo, which is best viewed from Brunelleshci's 15th century cupola.

Secondly is piazza Della Signoria, which, with a copy of Michelangelo's David and also Donatello's Marzocco is easily the city's showpiece piazza. Not far from here you will find the Uffizi Gallery, which not only is one of the oldest gallery's in the world, but is also home to world's best collection of Renaissance art.

If you wish to view the original David, then you can do so by heading over to the Galleria dell' Accademia, in the San Marco area. You know you're there when you reach the never ending queue. Considering it's been roughly 504 years since Michelangelo took to the massive section of marble and created David, he is still in magnificent condition.

Venturing south of the river you will find the district of Oltarno, which is home to many of Florence's modern artists. During the summer months a visit to the lush Boboli gardens is sure not to disappoint, with its inviting hidden pathways and fine fountains stepped into a hilly landscape.

With the wealth of sites to see in Florence, a single visit isn't likely to suffice as one should always go for quality over quantity. Scattered throughout the city is a huge variety of hotels, which compared to other European, can appear a little pricey at first glance.

Therefore it is usually a good idea to search for cheap hotels prior to setting off, this way you can ensure you are getting the best deal on hotels in Italy. The internet is an excellent way to source hotels.

The popularity of cruising as a vacation has been rising steadily over the past 5 - 10 years as cruise companies spend more and more money on marketing the holidays and the cruise ships become more like floating entertainment palaces than floating accommodation. A cruise holiday today is a non stop amusement festival with hour after hour of organized entertainment for all of the family. But for those of you who prefer the quieter pace of life but still want a floating holiday what options are available to you?

Sailing holidays have been around for many years but have become more popular on the back of the cruise holiday. Because the cruise holiday used to be the reserve of the older generation they used to be more relaxing than entertaining but now that the cruise holiday has changed people are looking for a new way to enjoy a holiday on the water and a sailing holiday appears to be it.

All along the coast line of Turkey you can sail in a small boat called a gulet which is a wooden sailing boat with a double mast. These are a traditional Turkish sailing vessel that have been used for many hundreds of years as trade and transport boats. Gulets vary in length from 13 - 36 metres in length and although traditionally are sail powered more often than not are now powered by a quiet diesel motor. A gulet will usually consist of 6 - 8 cabins all fitted with twin or double beds as well as a bathroom and shower room. The beauty if a gulet sailing holiday is that you are amongst a small group of people which gives the vacation an intimate feel. The boat is crewed by 3 or 4 people including a captain, the crew will take care of everything to ensure that you have the perfect vacation.

If you are part of a large group of friends or if you have a large family it is possible to charter the gulet for yourselves alternatively if you are on your own or traveling as a couple it is possible to simply hire out a cabin on the boat for the trip. A sailing holiday in a gulet is a great way to relax and see the wonderful Mediterranean coast of Turkey and beyond. You can choose the duration of your cruise to suit but generally they vary from eight days to a fortnight stopping for beach trips as well refueling stops and provisions a few times within the voyage.

Taking a gulet vacation and sailing along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey is a wonderfully relaxing way to spend your vacation, you have all of your meals prepared for you and there is very little else to do other than stop for a swimming break in the sea or simply sit back and listen to the sea lapping against the side of your gulet as you glide through the water. If you are on your own or sailing as a couple on a gulet it gives you a great opportunity to meet some wonderful new people who will all be enjoying the relaxation that a gulet holiday offers.
