15. There’s Always Vegas, Baby
Travel snobs may cringe at this, but Las Vegas, too, can give you that feeling of an international getaway without actually leaving the US. Some of the city’s most famous resorts and casinos are themed with this in mind. Pretend you’re in Egypt at the Luxor. Take a gondola ride at the Venetian. Make like a Caribbean pirate at Treasure Island. Head to ancient Rome at Ceasar’s Palace. Dine French-style at Paris Las Vegas. You get the drift. For those who’d like to travel the world but would rather not spend the money on an grand global tour, this just might scratch that wanderlust itch. If not, it still makes for a wildly entertaining escape if you play your cards right.
