Although land-bound, luxury bus rides encompass the best parts of airline travel, including courteous attendants, champagne service, and epic dance parties in the lavatory. Soar through the road-clouds with today's Groupon: for $55, you get a round-trip luxury bus ride to Las Vegas from Lux Travel Group (a $149 value). Trips depart from the Los Angeles Airport Marriott, the Anaheim Marriott, or the San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina, with drop-offs in Las Vegas at the California Hotel and Casino on East Ogden Avenue and Bally's on Las Vegas Boulevard South.
Lux Travel Group's early-morning ground service chariots riders to Las Vegas in style, boasting luxurious service and perks similar to a first-class flight. Commence road trips with a champagne toast before sipping on two additional complimentary cocktails from the extensive drink menu. A continental breakfast or a lunch package consisting of a half sandwich, fresh fruit or salad, and a freshly baked cookie fuels passengers up for Olympic-level Internet surfing on the free WiFi (available on most routes, but subject to location and satellite interference from clouds and bandwidth-stealing UFOs). After reveling in the bus-centric festivities, wind down during a movie screening with a chocolate-mint-drizzled cake pop. Finally, a warm scented towel allows guests to freshen up for their triumphant arrival in Vegas.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Cowboy Crime
The Wild West was a predominantly lawless wasteland in which towns employed one law-enforcement officer at a time—a candidate usually selected by foisting a tarnished badge onto the most recent disoriented, dust-covered stranger to wander into town. What were the most common of cowboy crimes?
Cattle Rustlin': This crime consisted of creeping up beneath sleeping cattle and rustling through crunchy autumn leaves in order to create a spooky Halloween sound. This caused the terrified cattle to stampede, destroying a municipal flower bed and revealing the easily plucked municipal diamonds underneath.
Card Cheatin': A friendly game of cards was the most popular pastime of cowfolk—right above hopping on alternating feet while shooting guns into the air and unbearably beautiful whistling. The most common method of cheating at cards was to distract opponents by pointing to a false eclipse and using a wet finger dragged through coal dust to scrawl tiny crowns on your deuces.
Horse Thievin': This most unforgivable of crimes consisted of stealing a horse's valued possessions, as horses have so very, very little. If found guilty, a horse thiever had to eat the entire bounty of their theft, be it a bail of hay, several iron shoes, or a cube of ill-gotten sugar. They also had to make eye contact with the horse at all times, for this too is Horse Law.
