Well, if you want to spend top dollar, you can always find places where you
can spend top dollar. $673 a day in Honolulu is a bit on the pricey side.
Here's a look at some less expensive Honolulu alternatives from
Travelzoo.... http://hotels.travelzoo.com/hawaii-hotels/
Yup...$79 or $60 a night is not going to put you on the beach with a view of
the sunset. But, then, neither is it $673 a night. And I suspect that you
will be hard pressed to spend something like $600 a day - the difference
between that $673 and that $79 room - on meals, even in Honolulu. I think
going to local restaurants, I for one would be able to sustain two people on
something well less than $100 a day.
Las Vegas is an interesting place....lots and lots of rooms available on
weekdays (Sunday through Thursday nights) when no convention is in town. So
time your trip right and you can find rooms all the way down to the $40 or
$50 a night range, as per from
Travelzoo....http://hotels.travelzoo.com/las-vegas-hotels/
Now if you plan to be in the area over the weekend, visit and stay in the
surrounding environs - Death Valley, Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon, etc. This
puts you away from Las Vegas for the week end when that same room can go for
double or even triple the weekday rate.
And here is what Travelzoo has currently available for New York City -
