Sigh! The laid back days of summer are rapidly coming to an end. In two short weeks most kids will be back at school and the daily grind begins all over again. But, before it does we have one more holiday weekend to make the most of. If you are looking to embark on one more family vacation before the book closes on Summer 2007 you might want to check out of one these travel packages offered by United Vacations.

The rates listed below are for travel during the Labor Day weekend (August 31st through September 3rd). The prices are per person (flights) for 3 nights (two adults and two children per hotel room) based on availability.

Las Vegas Getaway

This Vegas getaway includes roundtrip airfare from Chicago and a three-night stay at the famed MGM Grand Hotel and Casino.

It's also home to a variety of popular casual dining eateries including Emeril's, Wolfgang Puck's, and The Studio Café. Price for this package: $846.

Hot Miami Getaway

If you would rather sweat it out along the ritzy shores of South Beach, then consider spending your Labor Day weekend in Miami. This package includes round-trip airfare from Chicago to Miami and 3-nights at the Palms Hotel South Beach. The boutique hotel combines the personal attention found at a tropical estate with the business amenities of a luxury conference hotel. The Palms is an Oceanside resort located on the northern end of South Beach putting you close to the sand and surf as well as world-class shops and restaurants. Price for this weekend getaway is: $766.

Vacationing In The Big Easy

If you would rather spend the last long weekend of the summer taking in the splendors of New Orleans then this vacation package is for you. For just $630 you get round-trip airfare from Los Angeles to New Orleans and three-nights accommodations at the Award winning Lafayette Hotel, a 1918 historic landmark on fashionable St Charles Avenue. The hotel has recently been restored to its former splendor with its original French doors and period wrought iron balconies. The foyer has also been given a facelift to include Italian marble, wood moldings, English carpets and a French polished mahogany front desk.
