whats the cheapest way to visit New York CIty?

Q. I was planning to go to NYC for spring break. What are the cheapest hotels/flights?
I want a good experience so Im looking for 4+ stars, and the flight from the west coast, Seattle, Portland, San DIego...

A. 4+ stars won't come cheap. If you're a student, I would suggest you try staying at the West Side YMCA near Columbus Circle - it's very near Central Park - and I've stayed there twice. It's like a dorm room - but it's safe, clean and cheap. The cafe on the main floor serves up a good cheap breakfast, too. If you are willing to do that, you'll have more money left over for shopping and shows! (IMHO, a visit to NYC isn't about being in your hotel room - it's about being out doing fun things!) If you REALLY can't stand that idea, try looking into the Amsterdam on the upper West Side. Again, not 4+ stars, but friendly staff, clean rooms and great location. As for flights - I'd say study the internet, or try to find a last minute fare. Other ways to save money and still have fun: If you want to eat at a nice restaurant, go for lunch instead of dinner - pretty much the same menu - far less expensive. Learn the subway system - it's easy, safe and cheap. Make some of your lunches food from the street vendors near the park. Have a great time!

How far away is SeaTac from downtown Seattle?
Q. I'm looking at hotels in seattle for the weekend after next and it looks like there are a lot more available in SeaTac and for a cheaper price. We're only staying for one night and we're gonna spend all day Saturday and Sunday in or near downtown Seattle. We'll probably check out some of the bars downtown as well. We will have our own car. Is SeaTac too far out of the way or is it worth staying there to save some money?

A. SeaTac is by the airport and is about 13 miles from Seattle.

Yes, you can save some money by staying at the airport, but you will spend about a half hour each way getting into the city.

If you stay by the airport I wouldn't recommend driving into the city to see the attractions in the downtown area. Staying in the city with a car is even more expensive since the hotels charge $30 or more per day (night) to park.

The traffic in Seattle is very congested and the parking is very expensive near the major attractions. You might want to consider taking the light rail into the city and back if you stay by the airport. You can leave the car at your motel parked for free and the light rail is only $5 round trip.

I've included some links that I hope will help.

How is the paris hotel in vegas?

Q. Hey guys for vacation im going to vegas in california. I am staying at somewhere called the paris hotel. I need to know who it is. So if you guys don't mind please list the goods and bads about the hotel from what you have experienced or heard. Thanks! A. You know that Vegas is in Nevada, right? Not California? Anyway, the Paris hotel in Vegas is nice. It's not fancy, but it's one of the relatively newer places on the strip and is a good hotel. It gets overlooked a lot, and is rarely recommended, but there's really no good reason why. The location is good, the rates are good, and the rooms are nice. They rooms aren't particularly special, and the pool area isn't anything special either. The casino is nice, but not large. The buffet there is one of my favorites for dinner, and only $20 a person, which isn't too bad. How much does it cost go to the top of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel & Casino? Q. I'm planning another trip to Vegas...
