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.

Staycation: Suite Discount at Hotel Belmont

Hotel Belmont's most popular special of 2010 has returned! Everyday, beginning July 5 through September 15, junior suites and suites will be reduced to $139.00 and $159.00. It's totally suite!

There's the usual fine print about how it's not to be used with any other special offer, specialty suites are not included, and some blackout dates apply. Call 214-393-2300 to make your reservation, or book online. Don't forget to check out the highly acclaimed SMOKE restaurant while you're there!

Stay at the Adolphus for Just $55

That's right, you can stay at the Adolphus Hotel for as little as $55 a night. Seriously, this is for a number of different nights, not just the 3rd tuesday of the 6th month of the year ending in a 2. Built by beer baron Adolphus Busch in 1912 two blocks from Neiman Marcus’s flagship store, Dallas’s Adolphus Hotel has kept its place as a favorite among distinguished visitors for years. The draw? An Old World aesthetic with baroque furniture and paintings, a hyperattentive staff and an outstanding French restaurant — right in the middle of downtown. The French Room is consistently rated well, so why not splurge with all the money you saved and take your date out for a great dinner?

My Next Vacation, Please?

Just saw Living Social Escapes release this fantastic special and I so want to take advantage of this getaway:

A Texan Confection of Perfection

Like a cloud of cotton candy, this week's Escape is a light, airy getaway that's oh-so-sweet. Savor a two-night trip for two to a country cottage at Serenity Farmhouse Inn in Wimberley, Texas, and delight in a sumptuous bath package or a culinary trip that'll leave your taste buds wanting more.

Perched atop a hill in the middle of picture-perfect Texas Hill Country, the bed and breakfast offers a much-needed spoonful of tranquility to soothe your stresses and melt away concerns. Come for a two-night weekday ($298) or weekend ($389) stay and lounge around on hand-ironed vintage linens in a quaint cottage bedchamber.

The inn is peppered with antiques, fine china, and fresh flowers, not to mention endearing little farm animals that never stray far. Whether you're in the White Willow cottage with its lovely canopy bed, or the Poet's Cottage with its library and 1930s crystal chandelier, you and your travel companion will get a taste of cozy antiquity.

Wake up to a hearty in-room breakfast every morning, then meander through shops in Wimberley Square and see "Shakespeare Under The Stars" at the Emily Ann Theatre. Head to Wimberley Glass Works to see glass-blowers demonstrate their craft, or stroll through a nearby lavender field for a deliciously aromatic experience.

Click here for all the deets and to take advantage of this fantastic deal. I'm more relaxed just thinking about it.
