The economy must be in a small up tick, because I know several people who are taking week-end getaways on last minute travel deals. This year, hotels are doing what they must to fill their rooms. I am even tempted myself to take a short 2-day car trip to Vegas. Living in the southwest, there are Las Vegas hotel deals where ever you look. If you stay at the smaller hotels, the room rates are even cheaper. There is also Disney hotel deals galore all around Disneyland in California. Booking last minute travel deals can save you money, especially if you book package deals. Many hotels are offering discounts for their own restraunts or ones near by. Entertainment discounts can also be included when you book certain hotels. It pays to search online for all last minute travel deals. You can take your time and research what places will really save you money and what incentives there are. The economy will eventually recover, now is the time to take advantage of all the spectacular deals that are out there.
