After the runaway success of The Hangover, despite the fact that it centred on a stag party that went too far, all I hear and read about is people jetting off to this Nevada city in search of entertainment.
Having been to Las Vegas myself, albeit 13 years ago, I can confirm that it does live up to the hype in terms of its 24/7 lifestyle, with so much to see and do while you are there.
The Sin City has always been popular anyway with those looking to win big in the casinos and party all night; however, this seems to have been taken to a whole new level, especially with Brits hoping to experience their own ‘Hangover’ moments.

It just wouldn’t be Glastonbury without a few showers expected during at least some of the weekend. And this year is no different with Thursday and Friday looking like it is to be a damp one. Not that it will affect the 200,000 festival-goers packing out the Worthy Farm site.
With no event next year, the tickets for Glastonbury 2011 were snapped up even more eagerly than ever and the weather didn’t even come into the equation for these music fans.
The line-up is as varied as ever, with Beyonce and Cee Lo Green joining rock giants U2 and Coldplay on the famous Pyramid Stage.

If you are looking to find the best destinations in Spain where you can go to on your holidays, then you could do far worse than consider the places at the top of the list for the country in the Travellers’ Choice 2011 as published on Trip Advisor.
Featuring in the World Top 10, it is no surprise to spot Barcelona in there. For those looking for the perfect city break where you can enjoy a spot of Catalan culture and architecture, Las Ramblas is a great area to visit. Alternatively, you may wish to check out the many sights Madrid has to offer, such as the historic museums and the Royal Palace.
Those expecting more of a traditional beach holiday with that little bit more should consider San Sebastian-Donostia. Yes, it does have a beautiful beach, but it also serves the most exquisite food and drink and you can enjoy the wonderful fiestas and arts celebrations frequently held in this Basque city.
Finally, the island of Majorca is another Spanish delight if you are hoping to go somewhere nice on your holidays this year. Palma is the ideal place to start as you can explore the intriguing Old Town and relax on the many golden beaches to be found here.

My friend has recently returned from a dream holiday to the US with his girlfriend where they flew to San Francisco and then made their way down the coast in a Ford Mustang. This sounds like my perfect road trip.
Once you have acclimatised after the flight and seen all the amazing sights San Francisco has to offer (the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz island and the chance to ride on one of the city’s famous cable cars) you can travel towards Los Angeles to fly back home from there, or go wherever takes your fancy.
With the breath-taking beauty of the Yosemite National Park and endless highways to drive on, you can plan out the perfect road trip without it having to cost you the earth. If you do have some cash to burn, you could even make a detour to Las Vegas!

It has been revealed that many of those who didn’t manage to get tickets for next year’s Olympics in London have soon gotten over this disappointment by planning a summer holiday.
Research by Arena Media has shown that around a third of adults who entered the lottery process to obtain 2012 tickets had postponed bookings on expensive outlays like a holiday.
However, with a high proportion of bidders being left without athletics event tickets, it is no wonder that they are looking to go away instead.
Travel companies can now expect a boost in sales as people focus on their plans for next summer.
