Every year millions of people take vacations to their favorite beach, ski resort, or amusement park. Oftentimes for singles, however, vacation hot spots seem tailored to families and couples. Fortunately, not every vacation destination is appropriate for children or conducive to couples. Whether its rolling the dice at the craps table, touring the Caribbean on singles-only cruises, or enjoying the nightlife in a hip city, there are a number of vacation options for singles.
With its casinos, live entertainment, and popular nightlife, Atlantic City is in many ways an east coast version of Las Vegas; but, Atlantic City also offers beaches on the Atlantic Ocean. During the day, singles can swim in the ocean or cruise down the famous Atlantic City boardwalk, and at night they can gamble and dance. Popular casinos include Borgata, Bally's, Tropicana, and Trump Taj Mahal. End the night at a hip club like Dusk at Caesar's Atlantic City or The Pool at Harrah's Resort.
While there are a large variety of hotel options, many singles book rooms at the hotels attached to the casinos, keeping them close to the action and within an elevator ride of concerts, comedy acts, and cold drinks at the popular bars and lounges.
For singles looking to steer clear of families and couples and enjoy tropical islands, singles cruises provide the perfect vacation. While most of the singles-only cruises are open to anyone over the age of 21, major companies such as Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Lines do offer age-specific vacation packages including 20-Something cruises and Over 40 cruises.The cruise lines do stress that not all of the travelers on board are single; however, the majority of passengers find themselves unattached.
Oftentimes, single guests have their own dining time and venue, as well as singles-only activities such as mixers, club nights, hot tub parties, and karaoke competitions. The cruises vary throughout the year, but they range from four to seven days and visit both the eastern and western Caribbean as well as the Bahamas and various Pacific destinations such as Alaska and the Mexican Riviera.
Known as the "Live Music Capital of the World," Austin, Texas, showcases live concerts every night of the week. Annual festivals such as South By Southwest and the Urban Music Fest attract thousands of visitors every year, providing the perfect opportunity to network and meet new people.
