During our trip to Alaska we stayed mainly at B&B’s and we enjoyed it very much – most of them were really good (much better than your average hotel room) and meeting the people was great.
One bed & breakfast which we really enjoyed was the one in Homer (Homer itself is a great city as well with great views and tons of activities – so make sure you stay there for a few days) – we stayed 3 nights at a cabin at Maria’s Majestic view B&B.
The view was amazing (see below – taken at 1AM) , Maria was super nice, the cabin was great and breakfast was excellent (especially on the day Maria cooked and we had some really cool stuff like the Alaskan pancake (see below).

Paris is quite incomplete without the Eiffel Tower and the same goes with Paris hotel and casino. In spite of its enormous health spa and delicious French cuisines, the biggest attraction of the hotel will always be its 460-feet tall Eiffel Tower. This tower is the tallest structure that has become the biggest landmark of Las Vegas Strip. It has given the place a unique recognition that endorses the beauty and celebration promised by this land.
There are several tourists who come to Las Vegas Boulevard only to get a view of the magnificent city below from this tower. These rides are highly in demand and there are special guides who accompany the tourists throughout the ride. The breathtaking view from the tower keeps the visitors attracted to this spot. The site during the night time is incredibly beautiful and hence there is more demand for evening rides. Accordingly, the rates for these rides are also high after the sunset. While they charge 10 dollar per person during the day time, it is 15 dollars after 7.30 pm. Kids can enjoy the ride at half the price which comes to about 7 dollars. This celebrated ride is popularly termed as the “Eiffel Tower Experience” and people staying even in the nearby hotels come to Paris for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The Uruniemi Camping near Inari at the north of Finnish Lapland is located 2 Km outside of the Inari village – which makes it so isolated and really unique. The camping offers all kind of cabins with or without running water so prices vary and can fit many people. It is right on the lake so it is amazing and the views are great . There is, of course, a sauna and also a fire cabin where it is nice to sit around the fire (big enough for 10 people or so).
We called them 2 days before our arrival and even though it was out of season they agreed to open for us and were reasonably priced as well…very nice people.
Phone: 358-(0)16-671331
Directions: When you take the bus to Inari there is a bus stop right in front of it before the bus goes into the village

This is a great hotel for its price and for the location, it is located at the end of the strip (north of the strip) and it offers some really nice rooms at cheap prices. higher floors and the roof (which also offers some rides) offers a great view of the strip. This hotel is great for someone looking to be on the strip, pay less than other hotels and be able to walk to the strip.
