Tropical Beach

I totally know why this is number one
Amusement Park
Tropical Cruise
Lakeside/Oceanside Cottage

It might not be tropical paradise, but a trip to the lake or coast is still fun. Just dress warmly for it!

Even better than a tropical beach. In summer the beach here is warm, in fall the leaves change colors, and in winter there’s snow. Tropical beaches only have the first thing.
Spa Resort
Major City

LA, Vegas, NYC, and San Francisco are my favorites!
European Village
Casino District

I go to Vegas to eat and take pictures, not gamble. It's still fun!
Campground/Wilderness
