The Sahara, The Riviera or The Stratosphere?

pcmkrfn asked:


I will be in Vegas in September. We are spending one night at the Mandalay Bay (bit of a splurge since we are going to see our favorite local band at The House of Blues.) The other nights we would like to stay on the other end of the strip in something a bit more affordable.

I have stayed at The Sahara, and it was fine, but have never been to the others.

If you have stayed in the hotels please let me know what you think…the prices are all within $20 per night, so cost isn’t really a factor.

10 points for best answer:-)

Alone on a Cruise?

Glenn N asked:


I may be going on a Cruise with some friends. I am single and all the friends that are going are couples. I do not want to pay double for a room by myself. All the prices are based off of double occupency. If I cannot find someone to go with me, does anyone know whre I can check for others who want to share a room.

I do not know the specifc cruise line or date. But is will be leaving from L.A. in March and will be a 7-8 day Mexican Riviera cruise.

What’s a good spring break destination for my family that’s warm and within driving distance from Chicago?

Nicole asked:


I really want to go somewhere warm this spring break! I’m thinking about some places we can go so I can bring them up to my parents. Are there any good warm spots that we can drive to? We don’t plan on taking the plane anywhere so it has to be within reasonable driving distance. Plus we’d only have about 4 days to make the trip. Any suggestions?

How do i convince my parents to let me go on spring break to panama city beach?

Impossibility asked:


I am 18 and I need to know the best way to convince my parents to let me go to panama city beach for spring break. Last year my mom let me go but it was with a friend and his mom and we didn’t go during spring break, we went during the summer. I need to convince my mom to let me go without a parent and during spring break. Or should I even ask my mom, should i ask my dad?

Advice for cruise travel with young children?

eebrs asked:


We’ve already booked a cruise on Norwiegan Cruise Lines to the Mexican Riviera. We’re taking our 21 month old and almost 5 year old kids with us. We’ll have extended family with us to help out as well.

I’m trying to think of everything we’ll need and I’m sure there will be things that I can’t come up with on my own. Any suggestions?

I’ve already bought the cloth swim diapers (they don’t allow the disposable kind). I have water shoes for both kids. We have a brand new bottle of sunblock. We’ll obviously take children’s medicines with us just in case. We’re driving their so we’ll have some things to keep them entertained in the car.

It’s difficult planning for such a multi-faceted vacation -car trip, hotel stay, cruise, and shore excursions. We’ve been on a cruise before, but never with kids.

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Mexican govt collapse?

randi w asked:


My question/worry about going to Riviera maya isn’t the murder, (beheadings), and rape so much as what happens if the Drug lords/gangs over through the Mexican Govt whole vacationing in Riviera Maya? My group of 4 Americans will be vacationing At the Catalonia Riviera Maya in May. I know most of the violence is along the border towns and I have no intention of going to bars, dark allys, or looking for any kind of drugs, but still a little worried about the over throughing of the government. Any thoughts??
Us young people, this is a family vacation planned in October with my husband myself and my parents, yes thats right my parents! I am also a well educated woman with a career and children. That is why I ask for opinions, I do have my safety as a concern not just for myself but my children also. I have traveled to Key West and thought it was wonderful, just looking for a little bit of change in vacationing areas. The rise in crime wasn’t national news until the trip was already booked!! But thanks for the compliment anyway- Young people!!!!
