Stay

About the destination: Chicago, once a small trading post on Lake Michigan, has grown into one of the most famous cities in the country. Visit "The Windy City" and tuck into a deep dish pizza for a truly unique holiday experience. Follow "The Loop," the city's main business district, and marvel at its array of skyscrapers, consulates, and universities. There's plenty of shopping and fine dining to be had in this area. If you've worn yourself out in the city centre, take it easy at the Riverwalk, a pedestrian path along the Chicago River, or visit the many museums and parks the city has to offer. You'll hardly believe you're actually in the city centre when you walk through the Garfield Park Conservatory, and the Art Institute of Chicago will allow you to appreciate creative works from around the globe. The most important places to visit in Chicago are: the Willis Tower, an iconic symbol of the city, the Millennium Park, a fantastic urban park, among the most famous landmarks of Chicago and a site for many major city events, the Shedd Aquarium, one of the world's largest aquariums. Known as the front lawn of Chicago, the Grant Park is a beautifully landscaped park and offers many spots for an urban escape, the Navy Pier, located right on Lake Michigan, has a festive atmosphere with entertainment, shops and restaurants. No tour of Chicago is complete without a mention of the nightlife, so end your day at a jazz lounge and let the sweet sound of music carry you away.

About the destination: Amarillo, which means "yellow" in Spanish, is the heart of the Texas Panhandle, situated on the brink of the Great Plains. Amarillo offers a genuine Western heritage, a unique geographical area with vast open spaces and stunning sunrises and sunsets. With its relatively mild climate, the city is rated as having some of the cleanest air in the country. Indians, conquistadors, buffalo hunters, settlers, cowboys, adventurers, lawmen, gunfighters, and the railway all contributed in many ways to the development and growth of the area. That heritage is still felt here, where "cowboy" is still a respected profession. Here you can enjoy the very best of the Old and New West! Today Amarillo is one of the dominant cities in the Panhandle Plains and is home to a variety of industries along with a number of places to interest tourists, especially those on the Route 66. Amarillo is also the gateway to Palo Duro Canyon, America's second largest canyon. Palo Duro Canyon is unique with rock formations and a valley with wonderful views and pictures.

About the destination: Las Vegas is the largest city in the U.S. state of Nevada. Known as the Entertainment Capital of the World or Sin City, it is located in the Mojave Desert and is surrounded by dry mountains. Las Vegas is famous worldwide for its consolidated casino-hotels and associated entertainment. The city is home to many mega-hotel complexes, each decorated with lavish care and attention to detail, creating a fantasy-like environment. Each hotel has a unique style, there are special sights everywhere, and every hotel has its own casino. Most of the hotel casinos are in the city's downtown area, along The Las Vegas Strip. The Strip is a world of its own. Where else could you go to visit Egypt, New York, Venice, Disneyland, Hollywood, and much more all on one street? The fact is that all the action that Las Vegas is famous for is happening on this one and only street. Bellagio could be considered the unofficial centre of the Strip, one of the reasons being the free displays of musical fountains which go off every half an hour with different choreography accompanied by different music. Bellagio is one of the more stylish venues with a superb flower garden and for those with gourmet inclinations, it offers arguably one of the best buffets in town. The Venetian is another point where one might linger longer due to its fabulous attempt at recreating Venice in the desert. The main square of Venice is filled with gondolas ply the water channels and opera singers entertain their captive audience on board. The opposite end of the Strip is closest to the airport starting with the funny rendition of Egypt with its Luxor casino despite the fact that there are no pyramids in Luxor, but everything is possible in Las Vegas.
