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.

The technicians and physicians at Simplicity Laser Hair Removal work to evict wily follicle lodgers of all colors with advanced hair-razing equipment that combines FDA-approved diode, Nd:Yag, and alexandrite lasers. Customers can gently pulverize strands in one body area with six or eight treatments of concentrated pulsed photons, which coax squatting body threads out of their skin shelters with laser wavelengths and candy.

Simplicity Laser Hair Removal's triad of modern laser technologies promises safe and effective treatment during each session of 30 minutes or less.

Vegas-Style Casino and Hotel in Historic Mining Town

In 1859, a man named John H. Gregory found gold near the small mining city of Black Hawk, Colorado. After discovering the gold-bearing vein-a sheetlike rock flecked with gold, now known as the Gregory Lode-more than 10,000 prospectors descended on the area in search of a fortune. But Gregory was one of few prospectors to actually strike it rich; most gold-miners left empty-handed soon after arrival.

A makeshift town known as Central City formed in the midst of the gold rush. Once known as "The Richest Square Mile on Earth," the little town now lures visitors looking to visit its historic buildings and hopefully strike it rich at casinos such as the Reserve Casino Hotel, located right in downtown Central City.

The Reserve Casino's gaming floor is vast-it has more than 700 slot machines, and there are blackjack, craps, and roulette tables. During a break from the floor you can dine at one of the hotel's numerous in-house restaurants. Market Street is an indoor strip that features three casual eateries, such as Java Express and the Pizza Pub. You can also enjoy fine dining at Ardore Tuscan Steakhouse. The restaurant serves dishes such as house-butchered rib eye and Scottish salmon with an extensive wine list that includes varietals from Celani Family Vineyard, which is owned by one of Reserve Casino Hotel's owners.

Included with two of this deal's options are two drinks at the Lava Room, a stylish club that regularly stages performances from touring music acts and comedians. Or you can head over to the Guitar Bar to see children's stories read by former Pearl Jam roadies.

Central City, Colorado: Mining History and Casinos near Mountains and Arapaho National Forest

Located about 40 miles west of Denver, Central City's downtown is mostly made up of buildings constructed between 1860 and the 1930s, and the downtown is now a federally designated historic district. As you walk along the streets, you can get a sense of the residents' high-rolling attitude after the gold rush. The stone Central City Opera House was built by some of the area's most highly regarded architects and once featured performances by P.T. Barnum's circus and Buffalo Bill. It's since been restored and still features shows. Next door is the Teller House, a massive hotel built in 1872; it has old-fashioned red-bricked façade with arched doorways.

Today, visitors certainly come to the town to gamble, but it's worth it to visit some of the gorgeous mountain scenery nearby. Arapaho National Forest is six miles away. It's made up of 1.5 million acres ideal for hiking, biking, fishing, or mountain climbing.

They keep the stovetop warm during breakfast, lunch, and evening cocktail hours, when the bar pours out the eatery's namesake beverage-the pisco sour, a complex Peruvian blend of grape brandy, egg whites, and citrus. The buzzing dining room frequently welcomes a rotating variety of live entertainment, such as hip-hop, techno, and merengue music.

Newly Renovated Rooms near University of New Mexico Campus

In the 1920s and ‘30s, the newly built Route 66 helped to transform Albuquerque from a tiny tourist town into a growing desert oasis for travelers, complete with roadside restaurants, motels, and kitschy souvenir stands. Today, Route 66 stills attracts out-of-towners, who drive through historical Nob Hill District and past the 1927 KiMo Theater, one of the best examples of Pueblo Deco architecture. Just a 2-mile drive north of the Main Street of America, the newly renovated Crowne Plaza Albuquerque is a short walk from the University of New Mexico as well as several museums and shopping centers-an ideal location for exploring New Mexico's largest city.

Each updated standard room has a private balcony looking out over the city. A subtle desert theme colors the space through terra-cotta walls and earth-toned decor. Relax with a dip in the Olympic-size outdoor pool or with a meal at one of the three onsite restaurants. The Ranchers Club of New Mexico is the place to go for ambiance, as the dining room is decorated with a giant buffalo head, and the chandelier is made from long-horned cattle horns and saddles donated from native New Mexican ranchers. Chefs prepare bison ribeye, filet mignon, and pan-seared lamb chops alongside an extensive list of wines, ports, and cognacs.

Albuquerque, New Mexico: Pedestrian-Friendly Town with New Mexico's Flagship University

Located about 65 miles southwest of the capital Santa Fe, Albuquerque lies along the Rio Grande, neatly divided by the river. The Crowne Plaza Albuquerque close proximity to the University of New Mexico's campus makes it easy to stroll around the college's historical Pueblo Revival buildings. To delve further into Albuquerque's past, wander the pedestrian-friendly streets of Historic Old Town Albuquerque, home to more than 150 stores and art galleries and the iconic 18th-cenutry San Felipe de Neri Parish.

On the north side of town, the 360-acre park Balloon Fiesta Park is a popular site to launch hot-air balloons, which use the 47-acre Northern Field as a bird's-eye landmark. All year round, you can see the colorful balloons rising high into the air, whether you're practicing golf shots on the park's course or biking or hiking along its neatly gardened trails.

Spacious Suites on Historic WWII Air Base in the Heart of Scottsdale

Between 1942 and 1945, young WWII pilots took off and landed more than 600,000 times on the runways of the Thunderbird II Air Base, situated in the desert outside of Phoenix. Today, jetsetters of a different kind frequent the historic base, which has been repurposed as the Scottsdale Municipal Airport. The base also contains the Scottsdale Thunderbird Suites, a four-story, tawny stucco hotel. Soaring ceilings and thick oriental rugs welcome visitors at the grand entrance area, and there are nods to the property's aviation history throughout the hotel.

Considering its proximity to the runway, each of the hotel's standard suites is rather quiet. That's because each room has been soundproofed with thick concrete walls to reduce the sound of engines and the cries of babies that want their pilot's license 16 years ahead of schedule. All of the spacious suites include a living room and separate bedroom, as well as new, cushy couches and chairs to lend the room homey feel.

Before heading off to bed, stop by the lounge next to the Silver Wings Restaurant to grab a nightcap and browse the hotel's WWII aviation memorabilia. Among the relics are photographs of pilots and a table crafted from an aircraft rotary-cylinder-engine top. In the morning, guests can fill up on eggs, bacon, pastries, and steaming coffee at the complimentary hot breakfast buffet.

Scottsdale, Arizona: High-End Shopping in the "The West's Most Western Town"

Situated slightly northeast of Phoenix in the Sonoran Desert, Scottsdale was once a vast ranch lands lined with citrus farms and cowboy settlements, earning it the nickname of "The West's Most Western Town." Today, the lush desert oasis is studded with glittering outdoor fountains, emerald-green golf courses, and an active nightlife scene.

For many vacationers, "sightseeing" in Scottsdale translates to "window-shopping." A few steps from the hotel, wander past palm trees to find designer stores such as Cartier and Anthropologie. A few minutes away is the charming and quaint Old Town Scottsdale, where brick buildings offer a glimpse into how the town earned its "Most Western" moniker. Stroll down its winding streets to find art galleries, a mammoth used bookstore, and public sculptures on nearly every corner.

Each German dining experience includes one bier sampler platter per person (an $8.45 value each) and one Rheinland platter per two people (a $19.10 value each). The Rheinland platter includes a Helga's schnitzel, a jagerschnitzel, and a veal bratwurst served with brown sauce and a lemon.

Helga's German Restaurant and Deli

Cinderella's glass slippers have nothing on the boots that traverse Helga's German Restaurant and Deli's bar every night. Filled with 4 liters of Spaten Oktoberfest, Warsteiner Pils, or any of the five other German beers on tap, these boots find their perfect match in the hands of guests who shout "Prost!" before tearing into soft pretzels baked in the Bavarian tradition.

Founded by a mother and daughter in 1989, Helga's began as a four-table restaurant whose modest size seemed sometimes at odds with the giant pretzels and boot-size beers. However, the restaurant continued to grow and earn fans, many of who traversed the Rockies to sample its faithful interpretations of bratwurst, schnitzel, and other Rhineland staples. Though much of the menu remains the same as in those early days, the restaurant itself has expanded to resemble a lively German pub in the midst of Oktoberfest. When they aren't molding sides of sauerkraut into tiny models of German soccer star Michael Ballack, guests can play beer pong for prizes, watch the national team on 50-inch televisions, or dance to live music played by the house band on the second and last Friday night of each month.

Spacious Southwestern Suites in the Heart of Santa Fe

When you walk down the streets of downtown Santa Fe, it can feel more like a rustic Old West town than the thriving capital city of New Mexico. Some big businesses and skyscrapers have sprouted up throughout Santa Fe, to be sure, but right among them in the heart of downtown, you'll see historical mission churches and adobe pueblos. It's all set against the ruddy backdrop of the Sangre Cristo Mountains. Villas de Santa Fe are situated right in the foothills of these mountains‚ about 16 miles northeast of downtown. Warm, southwestern-style decor and well-appointed rooms make the property a comfy home base after you explore colorful downtown Santa Fe, which is rich in Native American and Mexican history.

Inside the pueblo-like villas, modern amenities complement the rustic and colorful decorative scheme. There's Santa Fe-style art hanging on the walls in one of the standard one-bedroom suites, and you can find colorful woven fabrics on the couch in the separate living area. Each of these suites features a partial kitchen, where there's a full-size refrigerator, a stovetop, and honey-colored wood cabinetry. It makes the place feel more like a comfy apartment than a hotel room.

After waking up to the bright sun of a Santa Fe morning, you can feel free to unwind in the outdoor hot tub or practice chasing after mail carriers on the treadmills in the onsite fitness center. The hotel also has a complimentary shuttle that can zip you around the property; that allows guests to save their energy for scenic walks through nearby downtown area.

Santa Fe, New Mexico: Old West Architecture and Fiery Southwestern Cuisine

Just a short walk from the Villas de Santa Fe, you'll find the perpetually sun-soaked downtown area. It's a historical center with a vibrant mosaic of cultural influences made up of fragments from the Native American, Latino, and western traditions. The 400-year-old site of the St. Francis Cathedral Basilica dons stained-glass windows, which cast rainbow colors onto the stone floor. Handmade leather treasures line the shelves at a custom-cowboy-boot store in the city.

Fiery chili is a standby garnish for chefs in Santa Fe; on a food tour of Santa Fe, you can sample zesty southwestern fare from popular local vendors. At day's end, the tour stops at the rooftop of a beloved downtown restaurant, where guests may sip a glass of wine, admire the brilliant sunset, and drop water balloons onto evil school principals.

New Mexico's varied terrain and seemingly nonstop sunshine make the area a great place for hiking and biking. It's worth it to visit the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, which have peaks that stand at about 12,000 feet high; they're just a short trip from Villas de Santa Fe.

Festive vibes dominate in El Señor Sol's casual dining rooms, which are equally welcoming to families, larger groups, or mingling happy hour celebrants. The menu's medley of south-of-the-border-style grilled pork, beef, and chicken entrees can make a nice dinner for two or be served up in larger quantities inside one of the franchise's private banquet rooms. These seat up to 100 people for weddings, office parties, or an improvised convening of the U.S. Senate.

$10 for a Punch Card for $4 Worth of Food on Five Visits ($20 Total Value)

The menu includes all-beef hot dogs ($3.79), bison dogs ($4.79), and wild-game brats made from ingredients such as smoked elk or pheasant ($5.79). House-made belgian malt waffles ($3.79+) break fasts with the aid of potato-flour donuts ($1.29-$2.19 each) in varieties including the Baconater, which is cloaked in maple frosting and pieces of bacon.

Red's Dogs & Donuts

David "Red" Cohen knows it is an odd combination, but Red's Dogs & Donuts is all about serving his favorite two foods. Hebrew National hot dogs crackle warmly alongside andouille sausages and brats crafted from smoked elk, pheasant, bison, alligator, and other meats. Mole sauce, chili, jalapeños, pickled red onions, and other toppings turn the hot dogs into a feast for patrons or a nightmare for an actuary calculating napkin-insurance premiums. A frosted, sprinkled, filled, and powdered array of more than 60 donuts make use of Red's secret batter recipe, which substitutes in potato flour to add extra fluff and crunch to the house-made treats. The donuts don fixings including maple glaze and bacon, and belgian waffles sport cherries and whipped cream or a sausage-and-egg scramble drizzled in syrup.

Spacious Condos Surrounded by Rocky Mountains

Steamboat Springs didn't start out as a resort community. Located nearly 7,000 feet up in the Rocky Mountains of northwest Colorado, the town was settled largely by ranchers whose hale and hearty pioneer spirit still lingers today. Things are relatively low-key here-especially in summer-with miles of rolling hill country to serve as the setting for all kinds of open-air pursuits. Mountain Resorts is one of the oldest property-management companies in the area, providing spacious, family-friendly condominiums and concierge services from a staff mostly made up of Steamboat Springs natives.

Both properties encompassed by this deal-the Ranch and the Phoenix-lie within Yampa Valley. The Ranch is distinctly rustic, surrounded by 36 acres of tree-studded hills and featuring wooden decks and wood-burning fireplaces in each condo. The Phoenix, on the other hand, has a more modern look following a recent $4 million renovation that included installation of all-new stucco and siding. Both properties enjoy access to outdoor heated pools and hot tubs, and the spacious two-bedroom suites include full kitchens and living rooms with pullout sofas.

Steamboat Springs, Colorado: Historical Ranch Town in Rocky Mountains

Steamboat Springs was named after its roiling mineral springs, which sounded to some early pioneers like a chugging steamboat. It's known as the birthplace of recreational skiing in Colorado thanks to a ski jump built in 1914 by cross-country champion Carl Howelsen. The slopes continue to draw visitors to town, but there's plenty to do in warmer weather. There are more than 50 miles of nature trails and wildflower fields for hiking, several mountain-view golf courses, and high-country lakes and streams that provide ample fishing. One network of rivers even flows through the downtown area, with launch points along the way for seasonal tubing.

Steamboat Springs retains vestiges of its history as a ranching center. Spur-clad cowboys still stroll the main streets, which are lined with western art galleries and clothing boutiques. Throughout the summer, the town hosts a pro rodeo series that includes traditional shows and Wild West-themed block parties. During the 32nd annual Hot Air Balloon Rodeo on July 7 and 8, ranchers will try to one-up each other by performing airborne tricks such as dipping into the lake and hogtieing clouds.

Laurel Fitness

As sunlight pours through floor to ceiling windows, Laurel Fitness's trainers motivate their charges through one more rep in the free-weight room, or one more mile on the treadmills. Though guests can opt to forge their own fitness paths, group classes such as total body toning, high-intensity step aerobics, and core conditioning corral the power of peer motivation to push patrons through workout plateaus. Nutrition assistance supplements physical training and helps members to negotiate the sometimes confusing world of dietetics, with its distinctions between refined and unrefined sugar, and its debates about whether a tomato is a fruit, vegetable, or adverb.

The trainers aren't limited to helping adults: youth-fitness conditioning pairs kids with a personal trainer, either one-on-one or with another little buddy, to help them to learn to enjoy exercise and pick up healthy eating habits. Trainer and mom Emily Brown also leads Pur Fit Kids classes, which gets little ones exercising with fun physical games while teaching values such as perseverance, honesty, and when to go all in a high-stakes game of Texas hold'em.
