If you live in Southern California, Palm Springs is a great getaway location for a long weekend. If you travel to Palm Springs, make sure to spend one day on the Aerial Tramway going up the mountain. It's not for the feint of heart though, if you're scared of heights you should probably spend your time visiting the Palm Springs Art Museum. Make sure to catch the Fabulous Follies. Seriously, it's an AMAZING show. The performers are all over 65, with the oldest in their 80s! And they do truly amazing things, things I couldn't do today. These gramps are truly professionals.

I always enjoy staying at the Spa Resort Casino, it's a little slice of Palm Springs history. The Agua Caliente tribe has the rights to the hotsprings that originally drew socialites from LA and Hollywood out to the desert and staying at this hotel (which has been re-done and moved several times) is always a true treat. Make sure to eat at the in-house resturant, they've got a great cook and the bread there is to die for.
