Labor Day Travel Deals
Find Labor Day travel deals as the summer winds down
Summer’s getting away from us fast, leading last-minute travelers to look fairly frantically for end-of-summer savings. Before the kids strap on backpacks and head back to the classroom, seize the opportunity to find Labor Day travel deals. The holiday weekend is overwhelming in many beach towns and popular tourist spots. Do proper research ahead of time to find cheap airfare and out-there-to-be-found Labor Day travel deals.
Las Vegas, Nevada
Nevada’s a scorcher at the end of August, keeping tourists away and airfare affordable. Consider a long Labor Day vacation in Sin City and end your laidback summer months with a bang. A hefty handful of hotels up and down the four-mile Las Vegas Strip go for less than $100 per night, leaving you extra funds to explore the city’s infamous restaurants, boutiques and live shows. Check out the glorious Fountain Show at the Bellagio, which plays on the hour on Saturdays and Sundays, and then wander just a little ways inside to admire the hotel’s botanical gardens for a change of pace – and heat. If you can stand the heat, consider an early morning at Red Rock Canyon, then retreat to your hotel’s pool for an afternoon oasis.

Orlando, Florida
The school year is starting earlier and earlier and, for many students, that means the last weekend of August is filled with nothing but homework. If your little ones are lucky enough to still be on vacation – even if they’re not – treat them to a well-deserved weekend in Disney. Slap on SPF 30 and squeeze as many parks as you can – from Epcot to The Magic Kingdom to Disney’s Animal Kingdom – into one long weekend of fun. Labor Day travel deals to Orlando are surprising easy to find, since many families are already cramming summer reading and planning tedious schedules with tutors. Soak up the little sun that summer has left to offer in the best possible way – with Mickey.
White Mountains, New Hampshire
It’s always smart to consider camping if what you’re looking for is a cheap weekend away – especially if that weekend happens to be a summer holiday. Like, for instance, Labor Day. Just a relatively short drive from Boston or New York City, the White Mountains of New Hampshire are an ideal alternative if what you’re seeking is relaxation and the great outdoors. Labor Day travel deals to the Appalachian mountain range, including flights to New Hampshire, are well within reach. Consider a short flight, followed by hikes through the many state parks, like the White Mountain National Forest, and overnight stays at wonderfully scenic campgrounds.
