Life is full of hard work, and not always the work you would like to do. It is nice every once and a while though to escape from the normal rigors of life and be able to enjoy yourself.
Vacations should be fun and exciting. Maybe your plan on vacation is to do nothing, and maybe your idea of a great vacation is to go exploring and even learn a new thing or two. The United States has some very beautiful destination vacations that the entire family is sure to love. From East Coast to West Coast, here are 8 luxury travel destinations.
Starting off our list is the Big Apple. There are countless things to do in Manhattan, it is unbelievable! From Broadway shows to helicopter flights around the city, there is an endless amount of fun you can experience. If you are a fan of museums, they have over 100 of them! More of a finance fan? Wall Street is just a subway ride away. Not to mention all of the top-rated restaurants and iconic buildings to visit like the Empire State Building and the Freedom Tower. You can even take a trip down history lane and visit the famous Statue of Liberty!
If you are more in a gambling mood, you might want to head over to Atlantic City and their iconic Boardwalk, which inspired the famous HBO show Boardwalk Empire. With world-famous hotels like Caesars and the Tropicanna to stay at, shows to brighten your evening, slot machines to make you some side money, and enough alcohol (provided you are 21 or up) to make you forget why you work in the first place, Atlantic City has all of your needs. If you love the sun and the beach, Atlantic City has well miles and miles of sandy beaches to sunbathe or swim in the ocean.
If gambling is still your thing but you live on the other side of the country or want to visit the grandiose city that is Las Vegas, there are still multiple exciting opportunities to see and things to do. In addition to all the gambling you can do (assuming you are of legal age) there are also other attractions to experience, like Area 51, The Mob Museum, The Strip, and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. If these sound like things you or your family would want to do, Las Vegas is definitely worth the trip!
As it’s suggested in the name, Miami Beach has over 15 square miles of beaches to have fun at! You can also go on speedboat tours and kayak on the ocean, overlooking the city skyline and feeling the breeze on your face. If the water is not your thing, there are several art galleries and restaurants to make your night on the town. If you want to travel a little more on your destination vacation, you can take a one-day trip to the key west or even go on a swamp boat on the Everglades. At the end of the day, you can relax at one of their fine hotels, including the Fontainebleau, and the Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club.
In Southwestern Utah right near the borders of Nevada and Arizona, is the beautiful and majestic Red Mountain Resort. Suitable for the entire family, Red Mountain Resort will have you in an Olympic-sized swimming pool looking out at the rocky-red mountains. Voted as a top-ranked wellness retreat, Red Rock Mountain will let you enjoy the views of the American Great Plains with the comfort of a luxury hotel and guest experience.
Moving a little bit west to California, San Diego is a place for all to enjoy. Between the water, the sightseeing, and tours, there is an endless amount of activities to do while on vacation. Some of the fun things to do include the San Diego Zoo, harbor cruise, visiting the La Jolla Sea Caves, and looking through the USS Midway Museum if you are a war buff or love ships.
If you love the sun and the free spirit of the Texan-American, you will love your trip to San Antonio. Some of the best things to do on your vacation are the San Antonio River Walk, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, SeaWorld, and The Alamo. The San Antonio River Walk allows you to stop by and visit many shops, restaurants, and maybe even a hotel. If you have kids, then taking them to Six Flags will make memories you all will never forget! And if you want to enrich yourself in American history, there is The famous Alamo you can check out.
Last, but certainly not least on this list is the lively New Orleans down in Louisiana. When it is not Madri Gras season, there are still so many fun and exciting things to do in the area. There are so many different tours to choose from if that is more of your style, from steamboat tours to haunted ghost tours, cemetery tours to garden tours, and even food tours. If you are a historic sights person, you may like visiting the New Orleans Jazz Museum or Lounge Vue Mansion and Gardens. And if that is not your thing, New Orleans even has a variety of soul food including their famous gumbo, crawfish, and jambalaya.
