LA Downtown or LAX, which is a better area to stay for a few days out of the two?

Q. I'm planning to do the basic sightseeing, shopping, etc. No theme parks. Ideally I would like to stay in Beverly Hills or Santa Monica but since hotels are so expensive I'm planning to stay either in the LAX or LA Downtown area (I found some great hotel deals in these areas). Which one is better out of the two? TIA!

A. I wouldnt recommend either. If you are going to do it anyway stay downtown. The area surrounding LAX is not a good area and you will not be doing anything close to the airport anyhow so you will save on gas by staying downtown. You may want to look at hotels in glendale if you are trying to save a bit of money. Good luck

Does anyone know of any really, really great deals for a trip to the Black Hills?

Q. Hi,
A friend and I are considering taking a trip to the Black Hills this fall. We don't need any airline tickets, because we live close enough to drive.

I just wonder if anyone knows of any great packages or wonderful hotel deals.

If we go, it will be between the last couple of days in September through the first couple weeks in October. Not sure if we will go for that whole time, but looking at all possibilities.

Anything you can point me to in regards to this are would be great. We would also like to spend some time in Hot Springs, South Dakota.

Thank you!

A. I'm unsure of deals, but the Quality Inn in Spearfish is neat.
It's location is handy to Black Hills National Forest, Spearfish Canyon, and the High Plains Western Heritage Center.
And Spearfish is real close to historic Deadwood.

I can only suggest you do the research on each hotel in the area. All the national chains have websites with all information online (in addition to reservations).
Phone numbers are also supplied; phone or fax the hotels of interest to you and ask for a deal.
There is no harm in doing that.

I adore South Dakota, the Badlands are also awesome to visit. Have a great time.

How can I get a REALLY good deal to go to Vegas on New Year's?

Q. I know all the casinos and hotels have their deals. But I'm looking for the good stuff - packages which include great hotel rates, maybe even some VIP stuff for the clubs.

A. You won't find anything cheap, that's for sure. That is the biggest night of the year here. You will have to go to each hotel website to see what they are offering for that night. Most are probably sold out by now. People usually book NYE a year in advance.
