Spring Break is that time of the year when you welcome in the Summer season way earlier than you really should. You start feeling the heat, you start thinking about taking a couple of months off and you begin the quest for the perfect tan. There is no better place than Las Vegas to celebrate your Spring Break. So, it's time to start the planning.
As you start putting together your cash for the epic road trip this spring consider a few things before you plan your spring break in Las Vegas.
There are some incredible deals in Las Vegas right now so you will be sleeping for next to nothing during spring break. Don't cash in the savings bonds that you need for text books next quarter. Here is what you need to do. Ready?
A. Find someone with a car if you don't have enough money to fly to Las Vegas. Don't invite someone just because they have money. (They always ruin a good time.)
B. Find cheap food in Las Vegas. Don't worry I'm an expert at eating good food for cheap prices. Cheap food in Vegas for Spring Break.
C. Find a cheap hotel in Vegas. Lucky for you, you know me and I have all the information on the low cost hotels that can still deliver a good time. Cheap hotels in Vegas or the dreaded motels in Vegas. Remember, you are just sleeping there!
D. Find the Free Drinks. You can do this, I have faith in you. Free drinks are easy to find, here's how. Free drinks for Spring Break
E. DO NOT FORGET THE SUNSCREEN.

Couple massage is the way to go for Valentine's Day in Las Vegas. You relax together and then you enjoy a day at the spa together and it really sets the tone for an evening of romance and intrigue. Qua Spa at Caesars Palace has the twin souls treatment, Canyon Ranch Spa at Venetian has the Rasul Ceremony and the Aria Spa also offers a couples massage.
When you are done relaxing the evening really gets going with a meal that will set the precedent for Valentine's Day from here on out.
Romance and food are synonymous for me. How can you not be excited about food when the passion that comes out of the kitchen often rivals the passion you feel about...well, maybe it's not as much as the feeling of intense attraction to that person you know is just right, but it is similar. I love food and I love the idea of a romantic meal. My idea of a romantic meal does not include the candle lit table in the quiet corner of the room. For me romance has spectacular food and an interesting environment as well as the atmosphere to spark an evening of flirtatious behavior and shenanigans between a couple of consenting adults.
The romantic Valentine's Day restaurants in Las Vegas I'm suggesting have a little something that can make you excited. From the Polenta at Scarpetta at Cosmopolitan with a view of the Las Vegas strip to the way passion fruit is used at The Range at Harrah's to the dynamic kitchen at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon at MGM Grand, each of these spots evokes romance in its own way.
The funny thing about Las Vegas is that romance means something different to so many people. I can be romantic having a Margarita at Cabo Wabo Cantina or foie gras at Guy Savoy. Some people find romance while walking the Las Vegas strip with a giant plastic cup filled with a drink while others head up to the Mandarin Bar for a touch of elegance to add to their passion in their cocktail. Las Vegas has enough of everything for every type of person. Where is your romantic spot? Leave a comment and tell us where to go find a side of sensuality with our meal on Valentines day in Las Vegas.

Hotels are not all created equal and in Las Vegas that means the difference between paying $60 per night or $360 per night. If you are looking for a party scene, a budget retreat, a family friendly spot or a luxury getaway they all exist on the Las Vegas strip. Getting to Las Vegas is only a small portion of your travel planning, finding the right hotel for you is where the secret lies. What are you looking for in a Las Vegas hotel?
I have plenty of favorite hotels in Las Vegas and they depend on what I hope to do while spending some time on the Las Vegas strip. These are a few of my picks for favorite hotels in Las Vegas:
There are plenty of options and the truth is that no matter where you stay on the Las Vegas strip you are rarely that far from all of the action. You can walk to most of the other resorts and taxis and public transportation are readily available from any hotel in Las Vegas. All you need to do is find a hotel that is right for you.

Summer is that time of the year when long afternoons turn into long nights and you create long lasting memories of bad behaviors and regrettable incidents that only you have to know about.
