Do You Own a Bar in One of the Top 5 Memorial Day Weekend Cities?
Everyone’s talking about their destination for Memorial Day Weekend, the holiday to kick-off summer weather, and Priceline.com reported the inside scoop in their Top 50 Memorial Day Destinations report.
The list is based on actual hotel room booking requests made by priceline.com Name Your Own Price® hotel service customers for the upcoming holiday period. Because the survey is based on booking requests, and not on consumer preference polls or votes, Priceline.com believes its annual survey is one of the more accurate predictors of holiday travel trends.
The top five picks in order:
1. Las Vegas, North Strip
2. Chicago, North Michigan Avenue/River North Area
3. New York City, Midtown West
4. San Diego, Downtown & Harbor Island
5. Las Vegas, South Strip
According to Priceline.com, with most airfares up, travelers are looking to find places they can fly for less. Average summer fares to Las Vegas are down by 3.3 percent and to Chicago down 4.4 percent from last year, helping to explain their popularity, Priceline.com said. Among South Florida destinations, downtown Miami ranked No. 26 on the list and Key West No. 29.
