6. Tampa, Florida
Average Airfare: $337.49
Airbnb: $116
It’s summer all year round in Tampa, which makes it a great destination if you need some winter sun. Head to the beach in the Tampa Bay Area for sunbathing and swimming in clear blue waters. If you’re looking for some outdoor entertainment, rent bikes from the local bike-share program called Coast and cycle along the Tampa Riverwalk.
It’s worth visiting Ybor City too. Explore the culture of the historic town and chow down on authentic Cuban sandwiches.
7. Las Vegas, Nevada
Average Airfare: $288.67
Airbnb: $164
There loads of things to do in Las Vegas that aren’t gambling. So, don’t be tempted to bet on red when you can visit the Adventuredome in Circus Circus instead. The Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Garden is also worth a visit.
At the Ethel M Chocolates Factory, you can get a Willy Wonka-style tour, then burn off the chocolate by hiking along the Calico Tanks trail in Red Rock Canyon.
8. Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Average Airfare: $283
Airbnb: $160
Our third recommendation from the Sunshine State is Fort Lauderdale. It’s a match for Miami in terms of nightlife, but the real draw of this city is the outdoor adventures you can have.
If you like to cycle, take the 15-mile Shark Valley National Park trail past alligators and all kinds of other critters. Or, if you’d rather stay away from gators, explore the tropical hammocks of the Hugh Taylor Birch State Park on foot.
Aside from the beautiful nature, you can visit the flicks at the historic Gateway Theatre. Then, see how the 1% live by checking out the million-dollar yachts and homes from the city’s hop-on-hop-off water taxi.
9. Denver, Colorado
Average Airfare: $279.99
Airbnb: $167
Denver – the Mile-High City.
There’s no need to spend a ton of cash to have a good time here, instead, you can visit the Coors Brewing Co. for a free tour with free beer! Denver is another city that offers a bike-share scheme, and it’s just $9 per day.
For history buffs, check out the prehistoric Dinosaur Ridge for $8. Then, see the amazing scenery or watch a gig at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre.
10. Los Angeles, California
Average Airfare: $329.06
Airbnb: $145
Los Angeles isn’t typically cheap, but there still lots of fun things that you can do here without spending much. If it’s your first time visiting Hollywood, you need to visit the Griffith Park and Observatory, then take the one-hour hike to the Hollywood sign.
Santa Monica and Venice beaches are just an hour drive away too. For food? There are always amazing food trucks to satisfy your taste buds in LA. The Grilled Cheese Truck isn’t one you’ll want to miss.
