Are you looking for a winter vacation, but not ready to spend a lot of money? We know how to provide you with a luxurious vacation without spending too much. To do this, it's important to know exactly where to go and how to take advantage of the best deals from airlines and hotels.

Choosing the right location helps. Many cities have a lower cost of living than you might expect, which can make your vacation cheaper when it comes to restaurants and attractions. Some of the best winter destinations that look and feel expensive, but are surprisingly affordable, were published by finance.yahoo.com.

Monticello, New York

In the Catskills Mountains of New York, you'll find exciting winter sports, from skiing and snowboarding to snow tubing. In addition, you will find luxury dining and entertainment. Hunter Mountain and Windham Mountain will give you the thrill of winter sports. There are also many museums, art galleries and restaurants. Kartrite Resort & Indoor Waterpark offers great deals from $199 per night, allowing you to enjoy comfort and luxury.

Las Vegas, Nevada

Light, excitement, and luxury hotels can all be found in Las Vegas. CheapFlights.com offers flights as low as $41 from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, making you feel like a millionaire without spending a lot of money. Stay off the Strip to save money and enjoy all the fun of the city. We recommend staying near the famous Bellagio Hotel to see the dancing fountain.

Orange County, California

Orange County in California offers affordable winter vacations for the whole family. From theme parks to gorgeous beaches, it has everything you need for a fun-filled vacation. Book a hotel outside the tourist areas to save money and enjoy comfort. The DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Doheny Beach - Dana Point is located approximately 30-40 minutes from Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm, and directly on Doheny State Beach. This upscale hotel boasts spacious rooms, an outdoor seating area with fire pit tables and an outdoor pool if it's warm enough to swim.

Big Sky, Montana

Looking for affordable winter skiing? Head to Big Sky in Montana, where skiing is more affordable than at the big name resorts. Find hotels and cottages for under $150 per night and enjoy the slopes.

Merida, Mexico

Mérida on the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico, offers warm winter weather and many historical sites to visit. December through March is the best time to visit if the weather is dry and temperatures range from 80 to 90 degrees. Choose a vacation rental and experience luxury and comfort for an affordable price. However, you can find luxury and value at the all-inclusive Reef Yucatan Hotel, which is about 50 minutes from the regional airport on the Yucatan Peninsula.
