Affordable Holiday Travel?
At $199 a night, ABC News has a different definition of the word “affordable” than I do.
All of these suggestions sound like paid advertisements to me. If they are going to recommend a $200 a night hotel, I want to know what’s so cool about it. I want to hear about the stay in the first person and what made the hotel so good.
If you ask me, this is what I consider “affordable.”
At $30 a night, these hotels are great. They are 10-25 minutes outside of Las Vegas (depending on your adherence to the local speed limits), so you need to get into the car to go to the Strip. Mike and I prefer to stay at Nevada Landing, which looks like two huge riverboats. The casino has a riverboat theme. I wouldn’t recommend the buffet dinner, it was hard for me to find anything healthy to eat except salad. The 24-hour cafe is good and the snack bar is great for a quick bite (but the hours are really limited). The rooms are clean and quiet. For $30 a night, Mike and I can make a trip to Vegas incredibly cheap and entertaining. That’s what I call “affordable.” Someone needs to give a dictionary to ABC News.
Log on tomorrow to see photos of our last visit to Jean, Nevada.
