Suggestions: Cheap Vacation Spots (3-4 Days)

Personally I'd like to check out the Florida Keys (Key west etc.). Its definitely within your budget. I plan on doing a NY-FL roadtrip this December. Fuck the TSA.

Another suggestion is Cayman Islands.. You may want to find a hotel along the 7 mile beach area since you are pressed for time. Otherwise stay in a non touristy area along the East end.

Other cheap places that are warm.. Bahamas.. PR.. (i've never been to these though..)

Key West is a blast, if you do it definitely fly in to the mainland, rent a convertible and do the drive down the Keys (don't forget the SPF).

If you're doing the Caribbean, I've always rented houses rather than gone to a hotel; much preferable in my opinion. Get a few buddies to come along and it should be affordable, especially if you're going on one of the slower weekends.

There are a few good private sale travel sites you might want to check out for hotels.

You can sometimes find some heavily discounted rooms in very desirable locations or properties.

I just had lunch with Paul Allen in London. Mexico is pretty cheap right now and assuming you can invest in a bullet proof vest you should def check out Acapulco or Cancun if you havent already. Do yourself a favor and get there during Spring Break at some point. Vegas can be done on a budget as well. Miami can be done as well depending on where you stay.

Where are you based?

Vegas.

Also, he said above Vegas was out of the question
