Las Vegas is the most popular destination for travelers looking to get away over the upcoming Valentine’s Day-President’s Day weekend, according to a new survey from travel booking site Orbitz.
Las Vegas came in first out of the top 10 locales booked through the site for getaways during the dual holiday, followed by Orlando, Fla., and Cancun, Mexico. Eight of the 10 cities were warm weather destinations, which the report attributed to travelers seeking to escape the brutal winter storms dominating much of the country.
The Orbitz Insider Index also found that year over year hotel prices for the weekend are up across the board, while airfare saw a slight overall increase of about 2 percent.
In Las Vegas, hotel prices jumped 18 percent from the same weekend in 2014, averaging $138 per night, while airfare to the city fell by 2 percent.
The complete list of top destination rankings and prices is as follows:
