There are some fantastic rates now for travel in January or February, so Id go on a twin centre to New York and Las Vegas. Big Apple/Sin City for fun, sightseeing and shopping not to mention the endless entertainment possibilities! What do you like about it? Its a double dose of fun and excitement. New York is the epicentre of the world financially and fashion-wise, which contrasts with Vegas and its indulgent and frivolous side. Where else can you see amazing sights and get married the same day? Your euro buys more now and your only problem will be airlines allowing you an extra case to take your goodies back home. You can be clever and pack very little into a large suitcase leaving Ireland. Whats there to see and do? In New York, theres the Statue of Liberty best seen from the Staten Island ferry. Manhattan is retail heaven. Museums and art galleries are plentiful and dont miss a top Broadway show. Vegas takes excitement to another level. Take a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon or The Strip at night to make your senses go on full alert. Enjoy an evening of fun in the casinos or if thats not your thing, there are currently numerous world- famous artists in residence there: Bette Midler at Caesars, Tom Jones at MGM resort and Black Eyed Peas at Mandalay Bay. Outlet malls are situated at each end of the infamous Take a helicopter tour of The Grand Canyon or The Strip at night strip, with a bus service in between. Superb nightlife is on offer and youre sure to spot celebrities at Planet Hollywood, which is a favourite with Mariah Carey. Dont miss Sunday Brunch at the Bellaggio Hotel. Is it a tourist trap? Its tourist entrapment for all the right reasons: you will never tire of either city and one thing is for sure you will not be bored. Even if the weather is bad theres always something to do or see in Americas finest cities. Who would the holiday suit? Both cities are for everyone. New York and Las Vegas can be as wild or as serene as you want them to be. I have sent honeymooners, 21st birthdays, stag/hen groups and families. If the mood takes you in Vegas you can sunbathe at the hotel pool where high season temperatures reach an arid 40C. Whats the best way to get there? Several airlines fly the routes daily from Ireland via JFK & onwards to Las Vegas. How much would it cost? Less than 900 for three nights in New York staying at a three-star hotel and four nights in a four-star hotel in Vegas travelling in Jan/Feb. E-mail: raymond.lee@travel counsellors.com.
