The destinations

The default answer, and the default answer is usually right.

Golf in the morning, pool in the afternoon, Old Town at night. The most repeatable trip in America.

The strip everyone goes to, and how not to spend the whole weekend on it.

Nashville with better food, better water and thirty percent fewer matching shirts.

The cheapest big weekend in America, and the hardest one to survive intact.

The most expensive weekend on this list and the only one that looks exactly like the photos.

The grown-up version of this trip. Golf, boats and the best food per dollar in the country.

Beach, real golf and a walkable downtown, in the same weekend.

Ski, casino and a lake, without ever leaving the state line.

Thirty five minutes from a major airport to a ski-in door. Nothing else in America is that easy.

The best skiing in the country, and it will not care whether you can handle it.

Thirty six holes a day, dinner, cards, sleep, repeat. This is a golf trip and nothing else.

Vegas math without the flights.

A cabin that sleeps your whole group, an hour from a real airport, and a fee stack that adds a quarter to a third on top of the nightly rate.
