Ahhh! Ireland off-season and Fantastic Value
Everyone wants to go to Ireland, and it seems that everyone wants to go in the summer. Now don't get me wrong. There is much good to be said about the warm days of summer on the greenest of islands. However, fall, winter, and spring offer their own special charms, as well as being amazingly affordable times to travel. The scenery is still stunning, the people are still friendly (and maybe more so, relieved of the pressure of so many tourists) and the pub life is especially warm and friendly.
Most destinations have a prime season for travel that coincides with excellent weather. Throughout this "peak season", the crowds tend to be heavy and the prices high. Ireland's peak season is the summer months: mid-June through mid-September. When the weather is typically less than balmy, destinations experience a "shoulder season" and a "low season". Shoulder season in Ireland is April, May, early June and early October. Shoulder season has the distinct advantage of retaining many summer travel perks: longer days, good weather and extended shopping hours. Low season is November through March - the winter-weather months in Ireland.
Rates and crowds lessen proportionally as you travel farther from the warmer months. Airfares are often hundreds of dollars below peak season rates, and hotels offer bargain discounts

Las Vegas Trip
I recently returned from Las Vegas. I attended a conference .
Vegas still has its glitz and sparkle, however, I noticed one thing in particular. Taxi lines were short! This can only mean that they have taken a hit due to the economy! Oh there were plenty of people gaming, clubing and all that. Just not as many.
I must say, Caesars Palace is still a phenomenal hotel. Everything was great.
Should you go to Vegas in the near future, spend the extra and see " Bette Midler, The Showgirl Must Go On". What a fantastic experience. Bette still has it! Such energy.
Downtowns Freemont Experience was crowded. I noticed more people downtown this time than in my past visits. Better meal deals, cheaper table limits.
Now is a great time to get the best value for your dollar to Vegas!
