Our 2009 Prediction: Mid-week rates below $10/night at three-star striphotels. The old Vegas deals are back!
Hawaii
Why it's a 2009 Top Deals Destination: Hit by rising air travel costs andthe dissolution of Aloha Airlines, Hawaii is experiencing some of thelowest occupancy rates in years. If you can afford to get there (time tocash in those airline miles), you'll find great Hawaii hoteldeals.
