DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE

Las Vegas vacations can be surprisingly family friendly and affordable. There are a variety of activities to keep you and your family entertained besides gambling. Transportation and food can be quite reasonably priced as well.

Las Vegas can actually be a good place for a family vacation. Hotels and casinos offer many things specifically for children. Amusement park rides, such as roller coasters, are commonly found inside hotels. Many Las Vegas hotels even offer child-care. There is also entertainment and performances, often free, specifically for children to enjoy. However, Las Vegas is not as friendly toward teenagers as it is to children and adults. For teens that do not enjoy more childish things, they probably will not enjoy the shows designed for kids. They are too young to gamble, leaving them with very little do.

Many discount travel deals are available for Las Vegas vacations. Before booking a hotel, compare prices on the Internet. Some hotels include airfare and transportation to the hotel. Search all inclusive vacation packages, and also compare air fares and hotel prices separately to see which will provide you with the best price. Compare amenities as well, such as buffet prices, which are offered in most hotels. Also, mention if you are a senior citizen, student, military or have children traveling with you. Discounts may be available.

Transportation in Las Vegas varies in price. Taxis are fairly expensive, but buses are more reasonably priced. The Deuce is a bus that runs on the strip 24 hours a day. The price is $5 per day and rides are unlimited. There are also shuttles that run to and from the airport to hotels not only on the Strip, but also to downtown Las Vegas. Prices start at $6.00. Monorails are available between some of the more expensive hotels, starting at $5 per ride. You can also purchase several rides on the monorail at a time, and the cost per ride decreases.

Consider a vacation in Las Vegas. It may very well be much cheaper and family oriented than you expect.

Budget Breaks to Remember in Krakow

Subscribe in a Reader

DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE

by Scottyn

The former royal capital of Poland, Krakow remains at the heart of the country's cultural heritage and tradition. The busy university and thriving tourist trade create a lively cosmopolitan scene, making Krakow a great destination for a cheap city-break.

Staying in Krakow

The high standard of Krakow hostels is excellent news for travelers looking to explore the city on a shoestring. With many clustered in the central Old Town and with some of the most affordable beds in Europe, good cheap stays are easy to find.

The best of the old school Krakow youth hostels is probably Flamingo Hostel, which caters to a young backpacking crowd eager to explore the city's renowned café and nightclub culture and offer organized activities to help kick start a few days of partying.

But for whatever reason, Krakow has a supply of some seriously swanky flashpacking hostels. Which means that budget travelers can stay at Greg & Tom Hostel, or the impeccable Miss Sophie's and make the most of their luxurious settings and top-class facilities.

Culture and history in Krakow

In the heart of the Old Town, the Rynek Glowny (marketplace) is a convenient center from which to explore the city's historical roots. In addition to standard exhibitions such as the Academy of Fine Arts and the Natural History Museum, Krakow has plenty to offer visitors regarding its own past.

The History Museum of Krakow (Rynek Glowny 35) and Galeria Autorska Andrzeja Mlecki (Stolarska 8) provide a glimpse at the – sometimes dark – politics and history of the region.

Travelers preferring to save their budget for Krakow's restaurants and nightlife can reserve museum visits for Sunday, when many are free to enter.

South of the Old Town lies the Jewish quarter of Kazimierz which, although it is no longer home to many who practice the religion, retains the landmarks and heritage of this culture.

From the banks of the Wisla River, the regal architecture of the Wawel Castle overlooks the city. Inside the castle, the art and tapestry collections are lifted by the extraordinary grounds and picturesque views of the nearby gothic Cathedral. At the southwest corner of the castle walls, the dragon's den, and home of Krakow's legendary menace, slopes along the riverside.

Shopping

The winding streets of the Old Town are lined with independent shops teeming with visitors, particularly around the main commercial strip of ul. Florkainska.

Alternatively, Kazimierz's renowned flea market between Al. Daszynskiego and Siedleckiego is a great place to pick up a bargain or to soak up the atmosphere of this ancient corner of the city.

Brand new malls have also sprung up and the 300 stores of Galeria Kazimierz (Podgorska 34) are sure to satisfy even the keenest shopper.

The surrounding area

And things to do in Krakow aren't just limited to the city itself. Not far away is Auschwitz – an inevitably melancholy, but ultimately worthwhile, trip. Frequent and inexpensive bus and train services run from the city center, although the size of the camp and its museum can require a whole day to explore. There is also the larger camp at Birkenau a few kilometers away.

Another less somber remnant of the region's past can be seen at the ancient salt mines of Wielicka which is now a fascinating museum. Nearby Bochina is another complex of historic mines (with a slightly cheaper entrance fee).

Ultimately, it's this concentration of things to see and do in and around Krakow that makes a trip to the city so special. Wherever you go, there's history, culture and stunning attractions at every turn.

Before settling down and becoming a copywriter for HostelBookers. Paul Scottyn did a backpacking tour of Poland, he checked out a variety of the country's budget accommodation, including a number of most Krakow hostels.

Carry on Luggage Meets the New Checked Baggage Fees

DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE

by Gerard Hones

As crude oil prices continue to rise airlines are under greater pressure to cover rising fuel costs. Recently some carriers began adding fees for services that had previously been considered to be included in the ticket cost such as fees for checked baggage. As a result cost conscious travelers seek new strategies in their packing to work within the new fee guidelines without over-inflating the costs of flying. It is more critical than ever for the savvy traveler to find the best laptop computer bag to serve their unique travel needs.

Since the recent fee announcement by American Airlines for checked baggage, there have been numerous articles encouraging travelers to rethink the best use of the space in their carryon bags. Whether you are carrying a laptop bag for a Toshiba laptop or pulling a Targus rolling computer bag the carrying capacity of your bag is a valuable packing area. Many travelers are looking to eliminate checked luggage by packing clothing and other travel items in their carryon bag with their laptop. Rolled up clothes are easier to pack in small spaces and clothing items that take up a lot of room should be worn on the plane if practical to make the best use of space in the carryon bag. The best computer organizer bags provide flexibility to pack according to the traveler's individual requirements.

Typical size allowance for a carryon bag by many airlines requires them not to exceed 45 inches when totaling length plus width plus height or approximately 22" x 14" x 9". As an example for reference the case logic laptop computer bag offered on this website in the backpack style is 19" x 14" x 9".

Gerard Hones is co-owner of bagyouroffice.com for laptop bag for Toshiba laptop, case logic laptop computer bag or targus rolling computer bag.
