Not everyone wants to spend 15+ hours on a plane when they only want to go away for 3 or 4 days.

If you find Vegas boring your not doing it right.

If I don't want to go gambling, get hammered, clubbing or watch shows, is there anything else for me to do in vegas besides line up for restaurants?

I wonder if places take reservations?

why go to vegas, when you can go to macau.

vegas is insignificant in terms of partying the most sinful way you can, in-comparison to other places in the world.

as for just plain legit partying, cigarettes, booze, and club girls, the same can be said.

i've seen enough of the world to know the USA isnt anything great.

3-4 day escape? lol, c'mon buddy. 2 weeks at least. 1 month if you can.

you only want to go away for 3-4 days, because you only CAN go away for 3-4 days. if you could go for longer, you would. blame it on money, or time restrictions (which usually is money related).

My gf and I who have been going on 2 trips a year since we started dating almost 6 years ago feel a bit of the same way. The most important reason for us though is price. Even take Canada for example, to fly to Montreal and TO is say on avg $600 range, we much rather fly across the world to like HK during low season for $900 and not only spend less but see something that's completely different from North America. For example I just came back from a 3 week trip in May to Hong Kong and Beijing. Flights and hotels (decent hotels too) came to $1700 all taxes included. Going to NY or even Montreal for 1/3 the time could cost you over $1000 already. Just not enough bang for my buck imo at least.

I agree that there are a few awesome places in the states that don't really feel the same such as NY, Miami, Vegas but for the most part I get really bored in NA.

A lot of these features are already implemented in Google; at least the most informative ones.

I find it especially useful to TRACK flight statuses using Google rather than looking them up individually on their respected Airline Webpages.

Just last month I tried it by typing in "Toronto to Vancouver" and within seconds I was able to find all the information I needed without even having prior knowledge about the flight's details.

Keep up the good work Google!

lol wtf? some of us get two weeks of vacation, pay all our own bills, and are not yet vp's and ceo's. when u only have two weeks vacation or three weeks sometimes u wanna spread it out over the course of a year into several vacations, rather than just one. when u pay rent and/or have a gf and/or pay your own bills it gets even harder

why go to vegas and not macau? cause it costs $300 and uses no vacation days, duhhh.

ok, 300 bux, one weekend and no vacation days used is sound. but i don't count that as a vacation. it's just a quick escape. one could say the same about weekend camping right?

Some glitch included the WTC as one of NY's airports but listed as "unavailable" or something. Read about it this morning so don't remember exactly but here's a quick reference for those wanting to read on:
