How much does it cost to take trip to Colorado?|168335

I am on vacation, and I am in NYC.
The trip is just about over and I want to take a trip to Colorado by plane.
How much does it cost for 4 people to arrive in Colorado by plane?

- And please suggest some cities in Colorado that would be good to visit.

Thanks!

Well I can tell you where to go, cause I live here. Go to Denver, the capital obviously, haha. But there is amazing stuff to do, you have to go to 16th street mall. And right by it is this little 24 hour european cafe_, if its a friday or saturday night, there is free live music and it has the best chai tea in the world, its called Leela European Cafe. The aquarium down here is fun also. There is some great history here and some intresting things to visit!

Colorado is almost a 5 hour flight from NYC. Nonstop, on short notice, coach class, will cost cost $400 or more per person. For 1 stop, you can get it down to about $350 or so.

I don_t know your exact dates of travel, but your prices will probably be similar. Check out

It depends on the airline, the time of week you fly and what class.

Kayak is especially good for last minute flight deals.

Hey Shelly P

Don_t know when you want to leave however leaving out of LGA to DEN making one stop is about $277.00 and out of JFK to DEN is about $504.00 non-stop.

Have a great flight:-)

What is the new hot spot for clubbing and dining in vegas?|177968

What is the new hot spot for clubbing and dining in vegas?

The newest and hottest Vegas clubs:

XS - At Encore, absolutely amazing. I recommend industry night; Mondays.
The Rose - At Mandalay Bay, opens in a couple weeks.

But the ones everybody is excited about are these; opening December 31st 2009:
Haze at Aria
Vanity at Hard Rock
Eve at City Center

The palms is amazing, they have some of the best restraunts and they have the playboy club which is real popular

The venition is so cool there are some of the best clubs and restaurants.

Red Rock which is off the strip has a nice club called cherry and they have a great sushi place and italian.

Mandalay Bay has Rum Jungle, which is a really neat club in THE hotel there is mix.

Basicly all the hotels now have clubs so just roam around and look on each hotels sites.

I would avoid the Hard Rock its very crowded and is extremely small so its pretty annoying.

The hottest club right now is XS in Encore. That place is huge and still manages to get overcrowded quite often. If you_re looking to go here, be prepared to pay for a table to enjoy it or else you_ll find yourself rubbing your body against total strangers everywhere you go!

Vegas, by definition, is the place to go clubbing. theres no specific place. You just bar hop till you find yourself somewhere you enjoy best

What is the best way to see the most of the USA with a limited VISA?|166894

After University I want to go and travel the USA with 2 of my mates. The original plan was to fly to New York, buy a car and travel down the east coast. If needed we would get a Part-time job to obtain spending money, and then continue travelling across the southern/central part of the USA to the West Coast.

We would then travel up the West Coast, and finally along the Northarn/Central part of the USA heading East through Chicago and Boston back to New York for a flight back home. In general terms it would be a circular route.

After discussing the length of the trip we were planning on travelling for between 8-12 months, but VISA_s restrict us from doing this. The options we have now are to try and do it in 3 months with a visitors VISA.

The question I want to ask is can anyone see anyway around this, or any other options available? I thought about travelling the USA for 3 months, then heading to Australia, then coming back and doing another 3 months. Is this allowed?

The best way to see the USA is by automobile. Your idea about traveling along the route suggested is good. You might want to try to go from NY to FLA then pick up I 10 and go across the country to LA. You would see many of the great Eastern and Southern US cities that way. Then go to Australia and apply for another tourist visa, Return to LA and go up the west coast and across the north and midwest ending back in NY. While you would still miss many sites inside this _great circle_ it would provide a nice subsection of the US. Seeing the whole 50 states would take you about 3 years. By the way try to stop off in Hawaii on the way to Australia.

Another excellent method would be to travel by Amtrack - no driving and you can also see a lot by train.

My niece did this and its not easy. Work is hard to find and very poorly paid and just plain impossible in some places. Greyhound bus is a great cheap way to get from point to point but takes time. You could try hooking up with others in a hostel and buying a car or share lifts, be careful who with though and use common sense.
You can in theory leave the country and then go back but you would have to look into it thoroughly with the embassy who are very helpful in general.
Do as much research as possible via the web, lonely planet, youth Hostel Association, loads of gap year sites on line etc and pick the best option for you.
Many responses are far too optimistic so weigh up things on the cautious side.
Good luck and have fun

Where is the best place in Alaska to view the Northern Lights?|167375

Im interested in visiting Alaska sometime during the Spring, and was wondering if the Northern Lights could be seen around that time of the year. Also, are there particular spots in Alaska that are great for viewing them or could be frequently seen? Thanks!

Hello,

I am a professional Alaskan nature photographer. I have a free 13 page guide to viewing and photographing the Northern Lights on my web site, www.northpolegallery.com in the News section.

Fairbanks and north are best - starting about the 1st week of September through the end of March. I advise people to come to Fairbanks the first week of March - it has been historically a good time to view, the weather is good for viewing, and they have the International Ice Carving Festival and dog sled races going on. The ice festival is a good photo op both day and nightime. This time frame works great because if the northern lights are not happening - you still have things to see and do.

Feel free to email me any questions.

Kevin

I live in Palmer, AK and my favorite spot to watch the Northern Lights is from my living room window! Fairbanks is a good place. In fact, Asian folks think that if you conceive a baby during the Northern Lights the baby will have a long and prosperous life. So, many hotels host special rates to draw in the crowds.

Favorite destinations for viewing this phenomenon include Denali National Park and anywhere in Fairbanks.

Spring? you must be here before March 30 to see it, the more northward, the more chance you will see it, but not in metro area.
