A cheap vacation in Albuquerque? You can bet on it - 10/20/2007 - MiamiHerald.com: "BY ANDREA SACHS Washington Post Service ALBUQUERQUE -- It might be uncouth to say how much one spends on vacation, but for Albuquerque, I have no shame. Here's a sampling of my budget: • Petroglyph National Monument: $1. • Pumpkin empanada at Golden Crown Panaderia: 85 cents. • Tango dancing at Kelly's Brew Pub: free. • ambling at Santa Ana Star Casino: $1 down, $50.15 gain. AAA wasn't kidding when, a few months ago, its annual vacation costs survey ranked the central New Mexico destination as the least expensive American city in which to spend your recreational dollars. With an average hotel room rate of $97.41 and an average food cost of $67.64 for a family of four, the Duke City's $165.04 daily expenditure beat out Wichita ($168.97), Oklahoma City ($181.02) and Omaha ($193.63). (For sadistic spenders, Honolulu topped out as the most expensive locale, with an average daily cost of $583.66.)"http://www.WelcomeHomeABQ.com/
