The following bargains are tailored to moms who enjoy big city life. Whether you take advantage of the Mother's Day packages being offered in the Big Easy or in the Big Apple you will no doubt be saving a bundle on the woman who has provided you with priceless memories.

NEW ORLEANS

The New Orleans Marriott realizes that some moms don't want to be away from their families on Mother's Day so it is offering a package that includes two adults and two children. For $179 per room mom and crew will get accommodations plus, a bouquet of flowers for the room, and brunch on Saturday or Sunday at the new 5 Fifty 5. The hotel is conveniently located in the French Quarter, which means you are within walking distance of the French Market and Jackson Square. If you are interested you will need to act fast, the offer is only good from May 8-11, 2008.

If your mom is in need of some serious female bonding time with her best friends then you might consider another Big Easy package being offered by Royal Sonesta Hotel. The Just Us Girls two-night deal is priced from $349 per person for midweek stays ($379 on weekends) and comes with a slew of extras. In addition to getting a deluxe room, mom and her friends will be treated to limousine transportation to and from the hotel; a welcome packet complete with masks, feather boas, and a directory of Magazine Street and Royal Street Shopping; coffee and breakfast breads; French Quarter coupon book worth over $150 in discounts for area attractions; and lunch in Desire Oyster Bar.

NEW YORK

This Big Apple deal caters to mom's wild side. New York City Vacation Packages is currently offering a Girls Night Out special that starts at $421 per person for a two-night stay at mom's choice of 25 Midtown Manhattan hotels. Your mom will also get a guided bus tour of "Sex and the City" hotspots; a manicure and pedicure; lunch at Tavern on the Green; free admission to several of the city's most popular attractions; and more.
