The birthplace of jazz, not to mention the backdrop for colorful Mardi Gras celebrations, the port city of New Orleans is equal parts tradition, celebration, and education making for a spectacular adventure no matter the time of year. A place meant for strolling, the communities that make up NOLA are drenched in personality. From the picturesque French Quarter dotted with sculpted fountains and Italianate architecture, the iconic Bourbon Street where music, folklore, and mystery all come together, to the gallery lined Jackson Square, a popular spot for the city’s artists. After all that strolling, refuel at one of NOLA’s celebrated restaurants and cafés. Take in a world-famous beignet at Café du Monde, local shellfish at Acme Oyster House, or cuisine served with a BAM! at Emeril’s. Of course, be weary of the Hurricane at Pat O’Brien’s - it packs a punch! Let the Good Times Roll! Visit New Orleans www.neworleans.com

PAMELA E. MARCUS MS, APRN/PMH-BC What happens in Vegas may not always stay in Vegas but it is nearly impossible to resist the excitement of the Entertainment Capital of the World. Once a desert oasis frequented by the Rat Pack, the sprawling mecca is now a world-class destination designed to help visitors live their weekends, to the fullest. Boasting restaurants from the world’s greatest chefs - Joël Robuchon, Thomas Keller, and Emeril Lagasse to name a few Las Vegas is home to a die-hard foodie scene while theaters on and off The Strip set the stage for Céline Dion and Cirque du Soleil. Nothing to wear? Las Vegas caters to shopaholics with luxury shopping arcades like The Crystals and Wynn Esplanade dotting The Strip. If this is your chance to escape, then the Japanese Ganbanyoku heated stone beds at The Spa & Salon at ARIA or the vitality pool at The Mandarin Oriental are ready to comfort you. Prepare to stay an extra day - we won’t tell your boss if you do.
