In the planning stage, it seems that going on a deserved
vacation can cause nothing but stress; you know where you
want travel, you decide how to get there, but you are not
sure what airline you should fly with. Airline companies
are plentiful and like most competitive businesses their
services vary - your decision could be a difficult one if
you do not know what you want.

Picking an airline to fly with could be one of the most
important decisions you can make. Flying is no more risky
than any other form of transportation, however knowing
that you are going to be thousands of feet above the ground
with no safety net can make for some pretty nervous times.
Many things should be considered when searching for the
best airline to take you on your trip. Some of these
factors include:

Safety Ratings: all airline companies have a safety rating,
undergoing necessary audits of their aircraft and safety
policies. It goes without saying that it pays to steer
clear of any airline with a less than stellar air safety
history.

Cost: with all the other expenses of a vacation to evaluate,
being able to source the most cost effective solution to
reaching your destination and coming home safely makes
researching airline companies and their subsequent
airfares
an all-important task.

Comfort: Depending on the length of your travel, it may be
important or not so important to determine the level of
comfort offered by each airline company. Being able to
stretch out your legs, for example, could be the deciding
factor for a long distance plane trip.

Services: Once again, depending on the length of your trip,
services provided by an airline will vary widely. For a long
distance trip it may be important to you that food be served
regularly on board the airline carrier and that the price be
all-inclusive.

Baggage: Of course when you go on vacation it is nice to be
able to take full advantage of baggage allowances, bringing
home gifts for loved ones. As with most things, allowances
vary with each airline and it could save you lots of money
to check the fine print.

Once your decision has been made there is very little room
for change of mind - so choose prudently the best airline
available to you and enjoy your trip!

gamble and eat from block-long food tables. Las Vegas is
home to the some of the finest entertainment, attractions,
shopping, and golf courses in the world.

Your entertainment options are unlimited in this city
known as “America’s Playground”. There are thrilling
roller coasters, dolphin and magic shows, and street shows
such as Treasure Island’s life-like pirate battle. You can
even tour Egypt in a simulated ride. There are places to
bowl, enjoy a leisurely spa, shop ’til you drop, and even
get married. The possibilities are almost overwhelming, so
make sure to plan, or have some sort of idea what you
would like to see and do while you are there.

You will definitely want to put a trip to Fremont Street
on your schedule. Fremont Street is a short walk from
downtown Las Vegas and is a brief stroll from many of the
hotels or you can ride the public transportation which is
extremely clean and passenger friendly. Look overhead as
you walk the 4 block long Fremont Street Experience and
you will be amazed by the over 2.1 million lights and the
state-of-the-art sound system in the canopy built 90
feet above street level.

If you are vacationing and wanting to spoil yourself, then
you have come to the perfect place. Many of the spas offer
fitness centers. In addition you can treat yourself to
facials, massages, body wraps, saunas, heated whirlpools,
steam rooms and other treatments, including tanning.

Don’t dare forget the fountains at Bellagio. It is one of
the most memorable and spectacular sights in Vegas or
maybe even the world! You will be hypnoized as the water
takes on a life all it’s own and shows off in perfect
synchronization to opera and broadway favorites and
everything thing else in between. Best of all this show is
no charge as it can be experienced from the open sidewalk.

When you are there at Bellagio, make time to tour their
gardens. You will begin to relax, even as you enter this
tranquil oasis. With over 85,000 square foot of space the
conservatory has 1,200 exotic plants and flowers such as
lilies and orchids. Every month, the fragrant displays are
changed to keep everything fresh.

On May 15, 2005, Las Vegas will be celebrating its 100th
Birthday! It’s an historic event that has events to
offer everyone. The Centennial Celebration Committee has
committed to commemorate the 100th birthday by hosting a
birthday party that~s brighter and bigger than the neon
lights on the Las Vegas Strip! The party actually started
on December 31, 2004 and will last the whole year.

With all the resorts competing for your dollars, you will
be able to find cheap or at least heavy discounts on meals
and rooms. Seniors and students can find special airfare
and accomodations to please their budgets. Las Vegas is a
resort whereby you can spend as little or as much as you
want and have a great time.

Daytime or nightime, Las Vegas is a super place to
bring the whole family to vacation or just get away with
a special someone. And with the BIG party planned,
what better time than the present?

Another busy day. You have to be in the office in 10 minutes but you are caught up in heavy traffic. You’re late.

You stop for a minute only to realize that it’s time for you to go home. Another busy day. Again.

Try to sit back and relax. Imagine crystal springs and beaches. Think of the topography, a variety of breathtaking landscapes or coral islands all waiting for you. Dream of the combination of balmy weather, pristine beaches, and luxurious resorts equipped with all the frills of modern living. Isn’t a beach vacation a great idea?
