While many travel-hungry Americans are hard-pressed for time and money, a number of domestic destinations offer scenic beauty and adventure without breaking the bank. Some of the nation s top bargain locations these days are ones people might not expect, from hedonistic havens to quieter yet equally captivating natural sites.

Las Vegas

Las Vegas is no longer an exclusive playground for the rich and famous. In the wake of the recession, Sin City resorts and other businesses are offering significant discounts to lure cash-strapped visitors back to the city. As of 2010, hotels and airfare from the West Coast to Las Vegas cost around $500, although how much you spend in the casinos is another story. Once in Vegas, visitors can take advantage of buffets under $10, such as those at off-strip hotels Fiesta Rancho, Gold Coast and Green Valley Ranch. Some of the city s free entertainment includes the Bellagio fountains show, Fremont Street s massive overhead light display and Treasure Island s pirate show.
