The Travel Tramps will be regularly passing on great travel deals we find to make it easier to take a vacation out of Salt Lake City. Here are some options to consider.

SLC to NYC is the place you have to go if you have not been or if you have been, and like us, can't wait to get back. --- With round-trip airfare as low as $247 including tax from Salt Lake to New York, you'll have money left over for Book of Mormon tickets. Check out this link on Fly.com for the fare calendar for dates in August through October.

Go from the bright lights of Broadway to the neon lights of Las Vegas with a $75 food and beverage credit at the MGM Grand with a minimum two-night stay with rates as low as $60 per night. Click here for MGM's rate calendar.

There are just a few days left to grab Travelzoo's Park City deal that will get you out of the heat of the Salt Lake Valley and up into the mountains for a one-night escape and dinner for $169. The deal includes one night for two people at the four-star Chateaux at Silver Lake in a room with a fireplace, jetted tub and free Wi-Fi. You also get a three-course dinner at the resort's Italian Restaurant. Click here for more info.

The Travel Tramps write regularly about their treks near and far in City Weekly, as well as blogging online at CityWeekly.net. You can also listen to Kathleen Curry and Geoff Griffin on the weekly Travel Brigade Radio Show at TravelBrigade.com.
