It's Time for the Dallas Stars Holiday Hat Trick Ticket Deal!

Your Staycation - You've Earned It - Stay at Baileys Uptown Inn for $142!

You work hard, but not too hard. Which means you might not have earned a full-fledged vacation to a far away destination, but you've earned a night away from the dog or the kids. Here are the details from the Cut & Paste via Living Social Division:

In a city known as the Big D, a surprisingly cozy oasis awaits. Leaving the high-rise madness behind with a dreamy Escape to Bailey's Uptown Inn, a divine bed and breakfast nestled in a charming nook of one of Dallas's most treasured neighborhoods, is as easy as A, B, C.


A is for Amenities. After parking your car for free, take a hold of your sweetie's hand as you check in for your one-night stay ($142) on the second floor of the inn. Unwind on your king-size bed, or take a relaxing soak in the private Jacuzzi tub in the Blue Room. Enjoy complimentary chocolates and a bottle of wine on the balcony of the Red Room, as you soak in the views of the nearby brownstones and lush, towering trees.

B is for Breakfast. Awaken to a full spread (on weekends only) of fresh fruit, juice, coffee, tea, and such hearty staples as French toast stuffed with cream cheese and strawberries, or Southwestern frittata and cloud cakes.

C is for Culture. Grab your map of the area (hint: it's in your included welcome basket), and hop on the trolley to the nearby Dallas Museum of Art. Post-portrait peek, grab a smoked turkey melt or a tarragon organic chicken salad sandwich in the museum's Atrium Cafe. (Go on Sunday and lock lips with the cafe's interactive Bloody Mary bar: You choose the ingredients, they pour the shot.)

D is for Drinks. In the afternoon, let the trolley carry you to McKinney Avenue, Uptown's vibrant main street, and a magnetic retail hub. Take your time window shopping before settling in for a glass of rare wine at Cork in the West Village, sipping a rustic Cabernet as you peruse the selection of eclectic wines from around the world.

E is for Entertainment. Head back to the inn for a late afternoon snooze, or go online from the comfort of your room. Once you've recharged, take in a classic musical at The Music Hall at Fair Park, a Spanish Baroque-style hall with six soaring stair towers and five arcade porches overlooking the park.

Sneak in a big city kiss, sealing the deal on an A-list Escape. Here's the Deal.

Fine, here's a last minute gift that you can order, but it won't be here in time, but it's freaking cool enough that you might be able to slide.
