The casinos in Las Vegas are dealing with a terribly declining economy as is much of the world. To many, some may say, why even spend money on a trip to the casinos with such uncertainty in the market place? For whatever reason the casino industry in general has some special staying power. No doubt a lot of it probably has to do with the fact, whether, people in the casino industry like it or not, that gaming is a vice. There are 1000’s of studies that point to the fact this conclusion is far from being in question.

Today, Las Vegas Casino revenue and win is about 10% down from last year, which in fact started a downward trend in the economics of the casinos in Vegas. So things aren’t good. Add in the fact that there is also a 4% decline in the number of people that have visited Las Vegas over last year and you can see the troubling trend.

To combat this fact many of the casinos are offering major reductions in the pricing of their rooms. This is a 180 degree change from what was “business as usual” for casinos. That is, casinos in Las Vegas would price their packages very cheap, offering almost break even pricing on entertainment and food and beverage, but make it up on the price of the room. That most likely is that rooms are fixed. You can always buy more food and drink. Today, rates have dropped almost 50% where you’ll find daily rooms anywhere from staggering $25 up to $100 and these are for good rooms.

Reserve Vacations is offering several Las Vegas Casino Vacation Packages that are really worth taking a look.  The two properties that RVI offers these vacations are the Hilton Garden Inn Las Vegas and the Cancun Resort Las Vegas. Check them both out as each are priced between $99 to $150 for standard vacations.

One of the toughest things to do, it seems, whether it be a holiday at home, or a trip, is to stay regimented with diet and exercise. In my opinion there is no doubt that the trip away from home is just awful when it comes to staying fit.

Why is this? Well if you’re in a hotel you have that damn candy and soda machine right down the hall from your room. Oh, yeah, don’t get me started with going on a cruise because the word buffet is synonymous with cruises. 

Ok, so what do we do when we go on vacation to keep fit and on the right track. Well let’s stick to doing it with the hotel travel.

1. Pack the running shoes and the work out clothes. This makes the ability to get to the gym much easier.

2. Try and find hotels that offer fitness centers. Also, make sure that the fitness centers are what you need. Not a medicine ball and a thing to stand on that vibrates a belt. 

3. Refuse to get the key to mini bar in the room. Lot’s of empty calories my friends. 

4. Pack some healthy snacks that won’t go bad. Protein Bars, a bag of almonds, you know what’s right. Fruit may be an issue.

As you see going away does not have to throw you off from being healthy. You just have to plan to beat the vacation bug of being bad.

When the internet began, oh so many years ago, the big move was for the innovative entrepreneurs to create web sites that consolidated “inventory” as it were under one roof and try and sell for travel segments like hotels and airlines. The trend is still here, but it appears that for many suppliers they are saving the best deals for their own web sites.

As professionals in the travel market have become more comfortable utilizing the internet for business and going as far as hiring in-house employees to manage day to day operations of internet functions. The result, the desire by carriers to drive more people to their own websites in an effort to forge and build brand loyalty. The tool of choice in this war is the use of promotion and/or discount codes

Say you’re looking to take a Williamsburg Vacation or find a Las Vegas Vacation Package, that ReserveVacations.com offers. In this instance these packages do not provide transportation to the destination. So utilizing the so called promo codes makes the discounts on these vacations all the better. Go to, say JetBlues web site and you’ll find 10% off regular rate specials and discounts all by using the promo code method.

In an effort to make the vacation packages appear to be more enticing Reserve Vacations has figured out that this is a great way to make the already discounts on vacation packages they have better.

Reserve Vacations LLC is quickly becoming one of the new gems of the online travel market. Serendipity probably had a greater hand in the success the web site ReserveVacations.com has had, due to the fact that the vacation packages offered are tremendously discounted and the economy turned bad at the time of launch. So be it. Regardless of pricing, Reserve Vacations web also operates under a strict professional style. This can be found in the sites’ Vacation Package Price Guarantee.

If you visit the page the policy is very straightforward. The long and short is if you can find a better deal that exactly offers what is being offered in any one of the web sites vacation packages, Reserve Vacations will refund 110% of the difference. It’s that simple. If you find a vacation package on another site and email Reserve Vacations, within 48 hours of booking you will receive that refund. 

A trip to a casino resort can be one of the best ideas for a vacation. Around the country, if not the globe, casino resorts are masters at providing all the fun you could want under one proverbial roof. No doubt that if you do plan on visiting any number of these resorts you’ll find world class entertainment, great food, accommodations to rival the best of any hotel you’ll ever visit and other great amenities such as lounges, pools and amusements. We have two signature casino vacation packages that you must check out if this is of interest to you.

First we head west to the desert of Nevada for our featured Las Vegas Casino Vacation Packages. Here we offer one of the best deals you’ll find for a trip to Las Vegas. For $99 you get 3 Days and 2 Nights with accommodations at the Hilton Garden Inn Las Vegas. That’s right, $99 and you’re in the heart of the city of Las Vegas and within walking distance to some of the best casinos in the world. You’ll be put up in one of 155 great rooms that comes with a large work area, WiFi access, coffee maker in addition to a property that has a heated swimming pool, laundry service and fitness center.

Next we go to the shore of New Jersey where we have  featured Atlantic City Casino Vacation Packages. For the rate of $159 you’ll get 3 Days and 2 Nights at the Flagship All Suite Resort Atlantic City plus $50 to be used at the House of Blues Atlantic City located at the Showboat Casino Resort and $50 to be used for coin at the slots.  The property is awesome in that every room has a mini-kitchenette, bedroom and living area, plus magnificent views of the city and skyline.

In case you feel you need to get your eyes checked that price for a Las Vegas Vacation is absolutely correct. For $99 you can get a 3 Day 2 Night stay in Las Vegas at the Hilton Garden Inn Las Vegas. The property is located at 7830 South Las Vegas Boulevard right in the heart of Las Vegas. Bare in mind this is an ongoing rate for now, so you can work your vacation around great flight rates and entertainment you want to see.

First a little bit about the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel. As stated the property is in the heart of the city, but that means the action too. A stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel Las Vegas puts you a walk away from Las Vegas’ Outlet Mall Premium Outlets. Further, the property is only a few miles away from the action of the Mandalay Bay. Just a note, the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel also offers complimentary shuttle service to the airport and to the Mandalay Bay Resort. The property itself at the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel is fantastic. You’ll have your choice of one of 155 guest room suites each of which come with amenities such as a refrigerator, a microwave, coffee maker, high speed internet access, work area and two phone lines. Let’s not forget about the outdoor heated pool and hot tub, fitness center, laundry service and 24 hour business center.  If that’s not enough, an on site restaurant is known as the Great American Grille Restaurant serves breakfast and dinner and also has lounge open in the evening. 

There is a host of great entertainment and event in Las Vegas to see so it’s very easy to prepare and plan your trip around these which include but are not limited to the Laughlin Desert Challenge from January 22nd to January 25th 2009, the United States Bowling Congress Championships starting February 21st 2009 and going till July 24th 2009 and from April 21st to April 25th 2009 the Rolex FEI Championships. There is a lot more to see and do of course so even check for other entertainment that is of interest to you.
