What is the best way to book a Las Vegas vacation for 9 people?|164884

We would like to stay in one large suite or two of the same in a strip hotel, MGM Grand, Paris LV, etc. We would like to get a _package_ deal- airfare and room included if possible. Or we could book seperately and stay in different rooms. We thought it would be less expensive to get one room and multiple flights.

I would advise just having everyone book separately. Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as a discount group rate in Las Vegas and the hotels will actually charge you more if you book as a group, since they see it as more work. The only exception would be if several hundred people were going. Package deals are sometimes better than booking hotel and flight separately, but not always. You should look at getting the best airfare and best hotel price. Then compare it with some of the hotel packages. Southwest Vacations, if they serve your area, will usually have the lowest air/hotel rates. American West (now U.S. Airways) would be the second best place. You should also check with Travelocity, Cheaptickets, and Las Vegas Direct.

You should also see how separate air and hotel does in terms of price. You will find that you have much more flexibility in the flight times and airline, which can be very important to people. Good package deal rates often arrive and leave at very odd times, or have multiple stops and layovers, which can cut your vacation short. Consider using Cheaptickets.com to locate a good airfare. Also check with Southwest. Next, try the individual hotel websites for hotel rates. You should also, compare them with third-party hotel reservation sites like LasVegasDirect, Vegas.com, Travelocity, Expedia, and TripRes.

While you can save by having 4 people stay in one room, you will be charged an extra person fee that is around $30-$60 per night, so you need to read the details when making a choice. Also, it can be very crowded to have so many people in a hotel room, so you might want to consider that too. Lastly, suites in Las Vegas are very limited and will cost you much more than getting 2 rooms next to each other.

Get one huge suite and multiple flights......

go to the best website hotels.com

Go to www.priceline.com and select packages and then your destination and dates.... or try www.travelocity.com or even www.orbitz.com

Where is a vetrans hospital in hawaii at and is it a good hospital?|165446

My husband is a vetran and rated at 100 percent. We loved the hospital in San Diego, they were really thourough, but here in Ok they suck big time. We are looking at hawaii for a possible future move in a year or so after our baby is born and want to look into a veterans hospital and what not.

Tripler AMC is the military hospital for Hawaii. I delivered our son there and it was wonderful. Never had any problems what so ever. My husband also saw some specialists there and they were top ones too. Tripler will also covers patients that need special care from the rest of the Pacific like Guam, Japan, Australia, etc..

Now I do know of some people who didn_t have the greatest of treatment there but that is just like any other hospital out there. We as a family found that they were as good as San Diego if in not some ways better. It really depends on what you are needing and what you expect to how you will feel about the hospital.

The Yukio Okutsu Veterans Home opened in 2007 in Hilo and is the only long-term care home in the state for U.S. military veterans. It has 95 beds and is fully operational. I believe there are certain requirements, however, including a one-year residency in Hawaii. It_s not a hospital, but a care home.

It_s Tripler, but they do not have a good reputation.

There_s KVMH (Kauai Veteran_s Memorial Hospital) on Kauai, and they_re the best hospital on the island. The only problem with it is it_s on the other side of the island, in Kekaha, which is about 30 min. from Lihue and 45-60 from Wailua and Kapaa. If you were looking to move to Kauai, you may want to check out houses on the South side (Kalaheo is nice, Poipu, Moloa_a) or the West side (Kekaha, Waimea, Ele_ele) to be a little closer.

There is plenty of Hospitals in Oahu, Hawaii if this is the island you are moving to.

Trust me you will love the hospitals here. It might be boring but most hospitals are like that.

What is the best way to get from Saint Louis to Chicago in less than two days?|140248

I would like to leave Saint Louis, spend several hours in Chicago (preferably in the afternoon) and leave Chicago all in the same day. However, I don_t have access to a car. I want a reliable, generally on-time way to get there.

That_s tricky without a car. What about the MegaBus? It typically offers a 1:00 am-ish departure...so you_d sleep on the bus and be in the city by the early morning. then you can take it back that evening!

Depending on the day you want to travel, you can get really incredible rates.

Or you could rent a car.

Amtrak has departures between the two several times a day as well.

And Southwest Airlines offers inexpensive fares at multiple hours of the day in and out of midway.

if you don_t have a car
the best way would be to fly
or take one of the few trains that go between Chicago and St. Louis each day
if some how you can get a car its about a 5 hour drive between Chicago and St. Louis
or take greyhound

Why don_t you fly??? American has hourly flights from O_hare _ Southwest has the same from Midway. Your next option is Greyhound. Good luck!!

Where is a good place to view the Niagara Falls fireworks from the US side?|139557

My family (two adults and four children from 19m to 10y) are planning to be in Buffalo December 31st. We would like to see the fireworks but don_t know a good location that won_t require an expensive reservation. Does anyone have a recommendation for a place with a good view that is child-appropriate and won_t cost more than $100 for us (i.e., a restaurant)? Thank you.
