Keep in mind all your needs and require­ments before you travel and then choose a deal online that will not only pro­vide you with all that you want, but will also save you a lot of money to spend on other activities.

Plan­ning to go to the worlds largest theme park for some enter­tain­ment? Well, why not also con­sider find­ing the best pos­si­ble air­fare to Las Vegas? It’s not that dif­fi­cult since Inter­net has made every­thing so easy and within reach of everybody.

You will be able to see which air­line would be the best for you, should you con­sider a direct flight or a multi-stop flight and should you buy a round trip ticket or one-way. These and other deci­sions will become easy once you have enough infor­ma­tion about the lat­est trends and habits of air­lines that sched­ule flights to Las Vegas from dif­fer­ent cities. Let’s find out some more about it.

Look for dis­count air­fares for Las Vegas on the Inter­net. What you will find is a list of user-friendly web­sites with a search field to help you nar­row down your search by enter­ing the loca­tion from where you will be tak­ing off and your depar­ture date. They will then find the cheap­est flight pos­si­ble for you.

Con­sider per­form­ing a search by air­ports. For exam­ple, if you are fly­ing from Lon­don you will be given a list of pop­u­lar Lon­don air­ports like Heathrow, and Gatwick etc. Click­ing on one of the air­ports will take you to a page where all flights are listed from that place to Las Vegas. You can also search for cheap flights for Christ­mas, New Year and Easter. Since these are peak hol­i­day sea­sons many sites have spe­cial dis­count deals for these dates. You can even book way in advance, like four to six months before the flight to get cheaper airfare.

The travel deals and pack­ages offered by these web­sites include not only the plane ticket, but also your hotel accom­mo­da­tion expenses and the activ­i­ties you will be tak­ing part in while you are in Las Vegas. You can select from a num­ber of shows and events listed on these web­sites to see which pack­age suits you the best. Also try to locate a cheap pack­age that includes car rental facil­ity as well. This way you won’t have any dif­fi­culty in arriv­ing to your des­ti­na­tion any­where in Las Vegas once you are there.

These pack­ages are usu­ally very cheap as com­pared to indi­vid­ual charges of all these activ­i­ties. You will also be given an oppor­tu­nity to select the kind of food you would want to have in Las Vegas. Plan­ning a trip to Las Vegas is nearly as event­ful as actu­ally arriv­ing there and being a part of all that.

Save up to 75% on your over­all expenses when you choose to buy one of these combo pack­ages. Price­Line is a pop­u­lar online con­sol­ida­tor web­site where you can go to search for a cheap flight to Las Vegas given your pref­er­ences. Expe­dia and Trav­e­loc­ity are equally pop­u­lar for pro­vid­ing cheap air­fare to trav­el­ers wish­ing to go to Las Vegas for a vacation.

Going to Las Vegas will be a life­time expe­ri­ence for you and your fam­ily, so don’t plan it hap­haz­ardly. Keep in mind all your needs and require­ments and then choose a deal online that will not only pro­vide you with all that you want, but will also save you a lot of money to spend on other activities.

John Portman Exhibit at High Museum

“John Port­man: Art and Archi­tec­ture” is a won­der­ful exhibit that can now be viewed at the High Museum through April 18, 2010. This venue fea­tures some of the extra­or­di­nary projects designed by the incom­pa­ra­ble Atlanta native.

In addi­tion to many of John Portman’s design plans, large-scale pho­tographs, arti­cles and detailed archi­tec­tural mod­els will be shown.

Per­haps the most inter­est­ing works in the gallery are John Portman’s paint­ings and sculp­ture. Most of these have never been pub­licly pre­sented at an exhibit before.

John Port­man grad­u­ated from the Geor­gia Insti­tute of Tech­nol­ogy in 1956. In 1967 he gar­nered inter­na­tional acclaim for his design of the 22 story atrium, the first of its kind, in the Hyatt Regency Atlanta.

Down­town Atlanta is home to many of his other land­mark projects includ­ing the Westin Peachtree Plaza, The Atlanta Mar­riott Mar­quis, Amer­i­c­as­Mart, and the Peachtree Cen­ter Com­plex. Amer­i­c­as­Mart is cur­rently the largest whole­sale mar­ket­place in the world.

Even more com­pelling are his inter­na­tional projects such as the Incheon 151 Tower at Songdo Land­mark City, Incheon, Korea which will be the world’s sec­ong largest build­ing when com­pleted, or the Zhe Jiang For­tune Finance Cen­ter in Hangzhou, China. Other works include Tomor­row Square, Shang­hai, China; Bei­jing Yin­tai Cen­tre, Bei­jing, China; Marina Square, Sin­ga­pore; Jin Hongqiao Inter­na­tional Cen­ter, Shang­hai China; and the Wen­zhou Zhixin Plaza, Wen­zhou, China.

Other projects high­lighted at the fas­ci­nat­ing High Museum event, titled John Port­man: Art and Archi­tec­ture, com­prise of Ent­elechy I — his stun­ning Atlanta home built in 1964; Ent­elechy II his sprawl­ing home in Sea Island, Geor­gia; Sun Trust Plaza, Atlanta; the Embar­cadero Cen­ter and Hyatt Regency, San Fran­sico, the Westin Bonaven­ture Hotel, Los Ange­les, Cal­i­for­nia; and the mag­nif­i­cent Renais­sance Cen­ter in Detroit, Michigan.

Leonardo da Vinci Exhibit at the High Museum

“Leonardo da Vinci — Hand of the Genius” Exhibit is now Pre­mier­ing at the High Museum in Atlanta through Feb. 21.

This extra­or­di­nary Atlanta event at the High Museum of Art includes 50 works from Leonardo da Vinci and also Donatello, Rubens and Verrochio.

One of the more promi­nent works fea­tures Rustici’s colos­sal bronze sculp­tures from the facade of the Bap­tis­tery in Flo­rence. Other works include col­lec­tions from the Vat­i­can Muse­ums, the British Museum, the Musee du Lou­vre and Her Majesty Queen Eliz­a­beth II.

There are new works divulged at the High Museum that are attrib­uted to Leonardo da Vinci. The recent restora­tion of Verrocchio’s Relief for the Sil­ver Alter revealed two of the fig­ures made very dif­fer­ently than the oth­ers. It indi­cates they were cre­ated by Leonardo da Vinci and not Ver­ro­chio who was his teacher.

Leonardo da Vinci: Hand of the Genius is the first exhibit to exam­ine the mas­ters inter­est into Renais­sance sculp­ture. More than 20 sketches and stud­ies by Leonardo will be on exhibit for the very first time in the United States.
