Chicago
Four Seasons Hotel Chicago is “expecting” you. Escape to the Windy City for a romantic getaway before the big day. Along with sweeping views of Lake Michigan, the hotel will provide ice cream with a side of pickles for moms-to-be, cigars and cocktails for future dads to toast fatherhood, a complimentary copy of What to Expect When You’re Expecting and more. There’s no doubt parents will be prepped for the big arrival.
Set Sail
San Diego
San Diego—a city known for its great surf, perfect beaches and huge armed-forces population—pays homage to the US military every year during Fleet Week, the nation’s largest military tribute. This month’s events are kicked off with a San Diego Padres—“Team of the Military”— game on September 17. Visitors can also check out events like the Sea & Air Parade (September 29), US Navy Ship Tours (September 29-30) and much more.
Your Tunes
Las Vegas
Just because you’re in a hotel room doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have access to your own music. With iPort, available in 20 of Red Rock Casino Resort Spa’s finest suites, guests can dock their iPods in the wall and enjoy music via the rooms’ speaker systems. Whether to pump you up before heading to the slots, calm your nerves before a day at the spa or relax you after a day of meetings, it will provide your room with the perfect soundtrack.
