I think I have a different idea of what an “inexpensive vacation” is than certain other posters. My inexpensive vacations would have costs measured in hundreds rather than thousands. An example of an inexpensive vacation I especially enjoyed involved the following:

Spontaneous Vegas trip as 3rd or 4th date

Drove, no flight or car rental

Stayed at Excalibur for ~3 nights. Total cost for 3 nights was $100-$200.

Spent a lot of the time exploring the amazing sights on the strip… mostly free, but also played some games at Circus Circus, went on a roller coaster, etc.

Saw a Cirque de Solei show for ~$100

Ate basic meals

Only placed a single gambling bet, which won more than the expenses above, so overall net financial gain

My most recent trip with a vacation rental rather than traditional hotel/motel involved the following:

Trip to Sequoia National Forest area

Drove, no flight or car rental

Mostly stayed at a rental in Kernville. Total cost for 4 nights was ~$200. Rental was basic, but met my needs – ~50 feet from river (river view) and bordering nice park, short walk to town businesses, small yard to relax in and let my dog explore, had refrigerator + microwave, etc.

Spent the bulk of my days hiking (Unal, Packsaddle Cave, Camp Nelson, 100 Giants, Needles Lookout…)

Also spent a good amount of time exploring town, checking out the museum, etc.

Ate basic meals and groceries from supermarket
