AAA Four Diamond Hotel South of Vegas Strip

Fewer than 10 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip, the Mediterranean-inspired Green Valley Ranch- Las Vegas cuts an imposing figure, with Spanish-style architecture, tiled roofs, and a recessed driveway lined with towering palms. You don't have to worry about transportation to the city's main corridor, thanks to a complimentary shuttle that runs back and forth from the strip four times a day. But there's a lot to do right here-the sprawling Green Valley Ranch- Las Vegas encompasses restaurants, pools, a casino, and a movie theater.

In the upscale casino, exposed stone columns support towering arches and a vaulted ceiling. Gamers have the run of the place, which offers 2,200 slot and video-poker games, a poker room, race and sports book areas, and more than 55 table games such as blackjack, craps, and roulette. Spend your winnings at one of eight onsite restaurants, including Hank's Fine Steaks & Martinis, known for its selection of aged meats, and Terra Verde, a cozy Italian eatery with house-made pasta dishes and an extensive wine list. Getaway holders can use their resort credit at the onsite spa for services such as massages, facials, and mani-pedis.

Green Valley Ranch- Las Vegas's outdoor recreation area stretches across more than 8 acres outfitted with manicured lawns, private cabanas, and infinity-edge dipping pools. Head to the Pond, the resort's private pool and lounge, to see and be seen during pool-party season. Come nightfall, you can catch a live band at Ovation or slip into Drop Bar for a nightcap.

Greater Las Vegas: Shops and Restaurants Off the Strip

The town of Henderson is conveniently close to Las Vegas, but it's also far enough to be an escape from the bustle of the strip. Next to Green Valley Ranch- Las Vegas sits The District, a pedestrian-friendly promenade lined with boutiques and restaurants. On Friday and Saturday nights from May through October, enjoy live music as you stroll the plaza.

To head to the Strip, hop onto the resort's free shuttle, which drops riders off at the Mandalay Bay Hotel. If you're tired of gambling, check out one of the long-running shows, such as Cirque du Soleil's Love, an acrobatic and visually stunning homage to the Beatles.

Roomy Cabins and Outdoor Recreation on Bluff Overlooking Lake Whitney

Lake Whitney was created to ease drought conditions in the early 1950s, but the reservoir quickly evolved into a popular vacation spot and was even the site of the very first bass-fishing tournament. Perched directly above Lake Whitney on a limestone bluff, Redwood Lodge was one of the lake's earliest retreats and is said to have once hosted movie cowboy Roy Rogers. The resort has expanded to more than 20 log cabins, but still maintains a rustic charm.

Most of the two- and three-bed cabins have cozy decor-from quilted bedding to knotted-wood walls-and many of boast views of Lake Whitney. But for all their rustic charm, the cabins still offer modern amenities such as free WiFi and cable TV.

You can exchange your resort credit for a paddleboat or sailboat rental and head out on the lake to shoot scenes for the Waterworld sequel. Back at the lodge, there's a fleet of rental mountain bikes tuned up and ready for the trail. Whether your day is full of activity or delightfully lazy, there are few better ways to top it off than with a dip in the hot tub and a session around the fire pit. At the Tiki Light Bar, weekly events include late-night dancing and open-mike nights, and the restaurant (open Thursday-Sunday) serves basics such as hamburgers ($4.99) and pizzas ($12-$15).

Whitney, Texas: Lakeside Town with Old-Fashioned Charm

The small city of Whitney, about 85 miles south of Dallas, is often referred to as "The Getaway Capital of Texas." But long before vacationers flocked to the area, Bonnie and Clyde were said to have frequented the town. Bank robberies are a thing of the past, but thankfully, Whitney has retained its old-school, small-town feel. In the quaint downtown area, you'll find several antique stores and an old-fashioned ice-cream shop.

Many of Whitney's visitors come for the massive lake, crisscrossed on the weekends by sailboats, bass boats, and jet skis. Lake Whitney is known for its bass fishing and also has plenty of flat, open water for skiing a handful of sandy beaches. There are about a dozen public parks around the lake, including Lake Whitney State Park, which boasts hiking trails, picnic areas, and a population of nearly 200 bird species.

French Quarter-Inspired Inn with Onsite Restaurant

Though it's in the heart of Texas Hill Country, Crescent Quarters channels New Orleans, the Crescent City, in both name and design. The hotel exudes French Quarter charm, from its wrought-iron balconies to the hanging planters and gas lanterns. N'awlins also inspired some of the guest rooms, including one decorated with the famous Blue Dog paintings of Cajun artist George Rodrigue and another furnished in festive Mardi Gras purples and golds.

The rest of the rooms and suites carry out much different motifs. The Far East room features Buddhist images against bamboo-covered walls, and the French room channels continental elegance with a fireplace, French boudoir, and life-size cardboard cutout of Napoleon Bonaparte. Some rooms come with other chic touches such as granite vanities and polished hardwood floors, and the two suites come furnished with hot tubs.

Complimentary breakfast is served every morning in the common room. For lunch and dinner, head to the in-house restaurant, Cypress Grille and Wine Bar, run by chefs who trained at the Culinary Institute of America and Le Cordon Bleu. The casual eatery serves comfort-food favorites with creative twists, such as dried-fruit ravioli and smoked barbecue pork sandwiches with grilled pineapple. As a bonus, Cypress Grille and Wine Bar will give Groupon customers a complimentary dessert with the purchase of an entree.

Boerne, Texas: Historic German Town in Texas Hill Country

A popular summer escape for Austinites and San Antonians, the Hill Country of west-central Texas usually enjoys cooler temperatures than surrounding areas thanks to its higher elevation. Among the region's towns, Boerne stands out for its unique history as an early 19th-century German settlement. Some vestiges of the old days are still around, including the bilingual, German-style street signs. Crescent Quarters overlooks Boerne's Main Street-or Hauptstrasse-which features a smattering of shops and restaurants that cater to the influx of out-of-towners that use the town as a convenient home base for exploring the Hill Country.

Boerne is also home to a few limestone caves that have been paved through with walkways and lights for public tours. Cascade Caverns, 4 miles from the inn, features a half-mile stretch of stalactite and stalagmite formations and plunging caves inhabited by a rare and endangered salamander. Tours of the caverns lead through narrow passageways and end with a view of a 100-foot waterfall cascading into a pitch-black pool.

The Issue: Living in a Nursing Home Can Lead to Loneliness

Many seniors and people with disabilities live in nursing homes and assisted-living centers where they have little control over their daily routines. This makes it hard for them to meet the other people with whom they live, potentially leading to loneliness and feelings of isolation. Recreational activities such as art projects can add variety to their days, impart new skills, give them an area of their lives that they fully control, and provide outlets for them to connect with their neighbors and establish new friendships.

The Campaign: Empower Seniors Through Art

If this Grassroots campaign raises $400, then the Mobile Art Program can visit four seniors and people with disabilities throughout the year, guiding them through art projects. Each additional $100 raised will sponsor another person in the art program. Instructors drive out to the nursing homes or living facilities at least 12 times per year to guide participants through such projects as painting self-portraits or creating clay models. Instructors bring all the necessary supplies and lead sessions for one-two hours, depending on the participants' abilities. In addition to gaining new skills, participants can see their art showcased and earn prizes in the organization's annual exhibits.

You can follow the progress of this and other Grassroots campaigns at the Groupon Grassroots website.

Mobile Art Program

Theresa Bond Zelazny founded the Mobile Art Program (MAP) after seeing how the creation of artwork helped her mother reduce stress and anxiety during a six-month battle with colon cancer. Today, MAP works toward empowering seniors and people with disabilities through artistic expression, helping them cope with their situations, regain a sense of control in their lives, and develop interpersonal relationships. Instructors drive a VW station wagon to nine facilities throughout underserved areas of Austin every month and conduct art classes where participants learn about the colors, compositions, and brush strokes employed by artists such as Frida Kahlo and Vincent van Gogh and model their own works off of these techniques. Instructors bring all of the supplies necessary for each project, giving the participants experience with a variety of mediums. By creating art in group settings, seniors can simultaneously gain new skills, build communities of friends, and bolster their self-esteem. At least once a year, the organization also holds a mini exhibit in each assisted-living facility, where residents vote on their favorite pieces and everyone receives prizes.

Symphony concerts are tentatively scheduled for September 29, December 9, March 23, and May 18; chamber concerts are tentatively scheduled for October 21, January 20, and April 21.

The Round Rock Symphony Orchestra reshapes 19th and early 20th century masterpieces in the penultimate concert of the 2011-12 season. As a hush falls over the audience, conductor, music director, and Army bandmaster Silas Nathaniel Huff guides the ensemble's woodwinds into Richard Strauss's Serenade for Winds, composed at age 16 and sparking Strauss's reputation as something of a prodigy and total show-off. Strings sweep in full-force with the dense, magisterial opening chords of Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings, continuing on to a second movement whose enormous waltz occasionally picks up a busier, more delicate countermelody as a dance partner. The piece's romantic energy has served to score several ballets and films.

Schubert's Unfinished Symphony gives a tantalizing taste of the complete masterwork that might have been in two movements of busily whispering strings overlaid with a swooning pas de deux between oboe and clarinet. Darker passages in which the orchestra shudders and exclaims in concert occasionally erupt, geyserlike, from the hushed landscape, which is restored to a gentle glow in the end. The night concludes with the crowd-pleasing thrills of Mikhail Glinka's Overture to Ruslan and Lyudmila, which telescopes a rollicking tale of young love triumphing over jealousy, sorcery, and monster abduction. A preshow talk will highlight the evening's music and composers as well as providing a glimpse of the rare bird taught to sing inside every violin.
