For a hundred bucks, you can go to dinner at a decent restaurant, purchase a DVD box set, or—if you're flying Spirit—tote a bag onto a plane.

Effective November 6, fee-sucking Spirit will charge $100 for carry-on bags paid for at the gate. It's an increase of 122 percent over the current price of $45. If you reserve your carry-on privileges ahead of time online, it'll cost you $35 bucks as of November 6. (Current price is $30.) And if you pay for your carry-on bag at the airport counter, you'll be charged $50. (Up from the current price of $40).

All Spirit flyers may bring a single personal item that can fit under the seat in front of you for free. This would include something like a purse or laptop computer. How generous.

Passengers can avoid the fee by reserving a carry-on bag ahead of time or by checking a bag. But Spirit is also upping other rates on its ridiculous miles-long fee menu, including some charges for those checked bags. First checked bags currently cost $23 for domestic flights and $28 for international flights. Come November 6, Spirit will impose a flat $25 fee for first checked bags on both domestic and international flights.

The easily avoided $100 carry-on charge is probably not going to become a major source of revenue for Spirit. So what's the big idea? We contacted the airline for an explanation. A spokesperson from Spirit told us, "We don't want any of our customers to wait until they get to the boarding gate to pay for their carry-on bags as this delays the boarding process for everyone. We expect that our new $100 fee charged for those who wait until they get to the gate will ensure that customers purchase their bags before arriving at the gate."

The spokesperson also said that the fee changes have "simplified" the airline's pricing structure by matching domestic and international bag charges. Some international bag fees have, in fact, dropped, such as the aforementioned cost for first checked bags on international flights.

Still, charging $100 for a carry-on bag is brazen. This looks like it could be one more grubby publicity grab by Spirit, which appears to believe that anything short of a disastrous corporate sex scandal is good marketing. (Let's not give them any ideas.) For evidence, see Spirit's campaign against passenger protections enacted by the government, as well as its objectionable advertising.

Welcome to Norwegian Breakaway, a revolutionary new ship designed to connect guests to the ocean and to each other like never before. Today, Norwegian Breakaway reveals her exhilarating outdoor spaces located 17 decks above sea level.

For more information call Supreme Clientele Travel (407)413-9578

Norwegian Cruise Line’s new 4,000-passenger Norwegian Breakaway will feature a three-story sports and recreation center with five water slides, including two with free fall sections. The facility also will include a large ropes course -- with a plank extending over the side of the ship -- a nine-hole miniature golf course, a basketball court and a rock climbing wall. “It’s really extensive,” said Norwegian CEO Kevin Sheehan at press conference at CLIA’s cruise3sixty conference. “It’s like going to camp.”

The two free-fall slides start with guests standing up and then the floor drops from underneath, propelling them into a loop. Two additional side-by-side twister slides (called The Whip) plunge guests through a spiral. For a more relaxing ride, there is an open-flume slide. The five slides can accommodate 1,000 people per hour.

Norwegian Breakaway, which will launch in April 2013, also will feature a Nickelodeon-themed Aqua Park for kids with a kid-sized pool and slide, multiple water features, bungee trampoline and spider web, a 24-foot enclosed climbing cage with a spiral slide. A pool for parents is adjacent so they can keep an eye on their offspring.

The ropes course, billed as the largest at sea, will have more than 40 elements, including a zip track. The Plank will evoke memories of pirate ships with a platform that extends eight feet over the side of the ship. Those who brave it can have their photo taken. Of course, guests will be tethered to a safety harness.

Currently under construction at Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenberg, Germany, Norwegian Breakaway will arrive in its year-round homeport of New York City in early May 2013. The ship will begin weekly summer seven-day cruises to Bermuda on May 12, 2013.  From October 2013 through April 2014, the ship will offer sailings to the Bahamas and Florida and the Southern Caribbean.

Caesars Entertainment, whose Atlantic City portfolio includes Caesars, Harrah's Resort, Bally's and Showboat, announced its summer entertainment lineup. Performers include Mary J. Blige, who continues her mini-residency performances at the Circus Maximus Theater, and Madonna. Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City will kick off the summer by celebrating Memorial Day weekend on Sunday with Kim Kardashian.

Over Independence Day Week, guests will have a chance to experience performances by Mary J. Blige, Jamie Foxx and Sarah Silverman and the return of the Tribeca Film Festival Cinema Series. Later in the month, the fourth annual Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival will take place. This year, both festivals will be on display for over 30,000 visitors at Caesars, Harrah’s Resort, Bally’s and Showboat

You might have been planning your road trip in the U.S. and Las Vegas is in your list, but you are wondering what you can do in the Sin City when you have kids tagging along. A pit stop in Las Vegas with the family is a possibility sans the casinos and other adult offerings at the Strip.

Here are some things you can do in Vegas with the whole family:

Renewal of wedding vows

Your kids might have seen your wedding album a million times and they might have told you to have another wedding a gazillion times so she can be the flower girl or he can be the ring bearer. Vegas is a perfect destination not only for instant weddings but a fun location to renew your wedding vows. The kids will enjoy the limo ride and maybe Elvis asking you for the I do’s.

Fountain show and gelato at the Bellagio

Gelato is everywhere in Vegas but a great bargain is just inside the Bellagio near its famous fountain. You can get a cup for about $5 while enjoying the water and light show.

Camping

Vegas is all about exuberance and excess and it is nice to get away from it for a day and have a camping with the whole family. Relax and enjoy the night with the kids in an RV park like Sam’s Town and get ready to hit the road on the next day to continue your Vegas family adventure.

Grand Canyon tour in a helicopter

Hiking to see the greatness of the Grand Canyon but it is never to easy to go to the bottom of the canyon and climb back up even if the whole family has a clean slate of health. Indulge and splurge for a helicopter ride to see the natural wonder in all its glory. The kids will surely have an amazing experience and have a new appreciation of earth science and geology after the tour.

Boating

A few steps on the gas pedal from the city and you will be at Lake Mead. This is a recreational area and national park which was inaugurated when Hoover Dam branched the flow of Colorado River. You are guaranteed your piece of shoreline and water at any time of the year along the 100 mile stretch of the lake. In case you do not have your own boat, you can rent from the marina nearby.

Snowboarding and Skiing

An hour from Las Vegas,, you can have a fun time in the snow on the 300 acre property of Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort between November and April. Advance or beginners will enjoy the slopes and mountain trails. You might not have packed your coats and skis but you can rent all the gear needed. The resort also provides skiing and snowboarding lessons for adults and kids.

Circus Circus

If you want a freebie, kid friendly show, head to the Circus Circus for their juggler and acrobats. The show is located indoors and you can actually get a sit so it still nice to catch even on chilly or rainy nights in the desert.

Hotels around the world each have their own fair share of grandiose features. One of the most impressive, though, is a giant aquarium. Expectedly enough, you’ll find some of the best looking ones in places which are located close to beaches or the ocean. Amazingly, though, there are also surprising gems to be found as well. If giant aquariums make your vacations complete, you don’t want to miss out on these hotel highlights.

Radisson Blu Hotel in Berlin, Germany

While most giant tanks are quadratic, the Radisson Blu’s aquarium is a graceful cylindrical structure and it’s considered to be the largest cylindrical aquarium in the world. It stands at 82 feet tall and has a generous 40 feet diameter. The aquarium also holds 264,172 gallons of water. This aquarium is called the AquaDom and could be found at the lobby of the hotel.

Currently, the aquarium has 1,500 tropical fishes. The species spread includes the blue mackerel, the trigger fish, the surgeon fish, the silver moonfish, and the humphear wrasse. Guests are encouraged to view this giant aquarium while enjoying cocktails at the Atrium Lobby and Lounge Bar. You may also take an elevator ride to view all three stories of the aquarium up close.

 
The Atlantis in the Palm, Dubai

Not only does this aquarium hold more than 11 million gallons of water—it’s also located the most prominent landmark in Dubai—the Palm. A must-see is the Ambassador Lagoon which is unquestionably the biggest water habitat of the Atlantis. It holds three million gallons of water and showcases sharks, sting rays, wrasse, guitar fishes and other interesting species.

As a whole, the Atlantis at the Palm holds about 250 different species of marine life. Much like its Bahamas counterpart, the Palm’s Atlantis is home to around 65,000 animals. It’s certainly a marine haven. Aside from the Ambassador Lagoon, you may also enjoy the Dolphin Bay wherein you can interact with these smart marine creatures. You can also go for the Ultimate Dive Experience which is a guided diving tour through the facility’s largest lagoons.
 
The Lost Chambers is also an attraction that’s worthy of a visit. Here, you’ll get to experience the wild marine life without getting your clothes wet. These are underground glass walled halls which lets you be among the Atlantis’ marine creatures even if you’re not confident enough to go scuba diving amongst them. It’s a good activity to choose especially if you’re traveling with children.

Hotel H20 in Manila Philippines

If the first thing you want to see when you wake up in the morning is an aquarium, you might want to book yourself a stay at the H20 Hotel in Manila Philippines. This hotel has about 65 rooms with 65 aquariums built on the wall. The hotel also connects to the Manila Ocean Park which showcases over 10,000 marine specimens. This includes sharks, sting rays, eels, and jellyfish.

The hotel’s aquariums, connected to the “Oceanarium” at the Manila Ocean Park, when combined are considered to be the largest viewing tunnel for marine life in Asia. The Oceanarium alone holds 5,000 marine creatures, runs for about 80 feet long. You can also view this marine wildlife through a glass bottomed boat, or wear special helmets which would allow you to walk through the reefs through the Aquanaut Voyage. The fish foot spa is also a painless but unique experience if you’re tired of the conventional way of artificially exfoliating your feet.

The Mirage in Las Vegas

 
If you enter the lobby of the Mirage in Las Vegas, you’ll come face-to-face with one of the most technologically-updated aquariums around the world. This is also quite a large exhibit tank which runs for about 53 feet and could hold 20,000 gallons of salt water. This aquarium stands tall too at 8 feet. There are about 400 coral reef marine animals and over 85 species of marine creatures living in this giant aquarium. Most of them were originally from Hawaii, the Sea of Cortez, the Caribbean, Tonga, Australia, the Marshall Islands and the Red Sea.
 
Aside from the Aquarium, the hotel also has a Dolphin Habitat and a Secret Garden. Staying here would surely be a treat for people who not only like to get up close and personal with marine wildlife but also mammals like white lions, leopards and white tigers. The Dolphin Habitat is a special treat for those traveling with children because guests are allowed to be trainer for a day. Children are also invited to pet and interact with these intelligent sea creatures.

The Flatiron Hotel in New York

This is literally the only place you can go to in New York if you’re looking for a giant aquarium. In the concrete jungle that is the Big Apple, it’s certainly surprising that something like the Flatiron Hotel can exist. It’s about two stories tall and while it only holds 3,500 gallons of water (a fraction of what the Atlantis aquariums have to offer), it still attracts droves of New Yorkers and tourists who are seeking for some sort of escape from New York’s urbanity. Before the facility opened last August 2011, locals had to travel all the way to Coney Island just to experience the sea. Now, no matter how cold it gets in New York City, this colorful aquarium is sure to remind anyone of the warm Caribbean Islands.

The Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas

Las Vegas has always been known for putting a spunky spin on almost everything it gets its hands on. Now, this included giant aquariums. Not only is the aquarium in the Mandalay Bay huge, holding 1.6 million gallons of water, it is also home to 30 live sharks of 11 different species. So far, this is the only predator-based aquarium in North America, and it never fails to drive droves of tourists all-year-round.
 
Among its 14 tanks, the Shipwreck Exhibit is probably the most impressive because it’s the largest. You can view this tank through a tunnel and it holds an awesome 1.3 million gallons of salt water. This aquarium is home to blacktip reef sharks, the sandtiger and the sandbar. It also has endangered marine creatures like the Green Sea Turtle, Komodo dragons, the arapaima, and the saw fish. If you’re a bit more daring, the facility also has certified scuba diving guides who can accompany you so you can swim amongst these predators. If you’re traveling with kids, you might want to opt for the Touch Pool. Here, you can “pet” horseshoe crabs and stingrays.

The Gansevoort in Miami Beach

Miami has always been identified with its long beach strips and wild party scene. What people don’t know is that it’s also home to the longest aquarium along the East Coast. The Gansevoort Aquariumstands 50 feet long, and holds about 40,000 gallons of water. The hotel aquarium also gracefully curves around the lobby so guests are always welcomed by this awesome sight. Rest assured that you won’t just be booking your stay here for just the aquarium. The Gansevoort is one of the most highly praised hotels in Miami Beach.

The Atlantis in Paradise Island, Bahamas

It’s not surprising that the best hotel aquarium could be found in the Bahamas. Even without the mystery of finding such a hotel feature in this destination, though, this large marine mammal rehabilitation center is still bound to produce a “wow” effect on you. The aquarium holds about eight million gallons of sea water in a total of fourteen lagoons. The facility does not just impress by numbers, though. Your kids are also bound to love the interactive exhibits.

Don’t miss out on the gigantic Ruins Lagoon which is home to some 20,000 coral reefs and small fishes. You will have to snorkel here to truly appreciate the view, though. The Stingray Lagoon and the Dolphin Cay are also large aquariums which allow you to feed and pet these truly awesome animals. The Atlantis holds about 50,000 marine animals. These animals represent 250 different species.

Pacific Beach Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii

 
This is one of the largest giant aquariums in the world and it’s not surprising because it’s also located in Hawaii. The giant hotel aquarium stands three stories tall and holds a generous 280,000 gallons of water. While this was built way back in 1979, it still never fails to wow guests. There are more than 400 fishes swimming about the giant aquarium, representing well over 70 species of Indo-Pacific marine animals.
 
You must try their Snuba—a combination of scuba diving and snorkeling. Guests get to swim 20 feet deep with these sea creatures while breathing through a long mouthpiece. There is no diver’s certification needed for this activity because it’s considered extremely safe. If you’re more comfortable experiencing the marine life outside the tank, you may also do so. There is an Oceanarium restaurant which would allow you to enjoy the best seafood dishes while watching live ones from this giant aquarium.

Now you may wonder why the odd number on our list? We are actually hoping the tenth entry will come from you? Have you been to a hotel with an amazing aquarium? We love to hear from our readers. Come on, share your travel stories.
