After a day of turkey and football, the attention turns to the shopping spectacle known as Black Friday, the day of the year when every retailer rolls back prices to levels far below ordinary sales.
Black Friday Travel Deals
Black Friday isn’t only for televisions and personal items, travel deals are some of the best Black Friday deals available. If you want to save hundreds or even thousands of dollars on your next getaway, Black Friday might be the best time of year to book your hotel room. Start planning your next winter wonderland or summer escape vacation by booking your hotel room and flights.
Save Money on Hotel Rooms
Black Friday is a great time of year to book hotel rooms. Many online travel agencies will be promoting great offers, but the best rates are still directly through hotels.
Plaza’s Black Friday Deal
The Plaza Hotel Casino will have our own Black Friday/Cyber Monday hotel room offer. Save 30% off current room rates on travel thru March 31st.
