10. Fly from Montreal to New Orleans for as low as CAD$405 round trip

A true one­-off, New Orleans is composed of a chaotic mingling of cultures (French, Creole, Caribbean, African­-American, Vietnamese, Irish, German) that together give rise to an exceptionally vibrant city. Beautiful colonial architecture mixes with wild nightlife in the French Quarter; jazz drifts from dusky bars; the garlic-­heavy smells of Creole cooking float from ramshackle roadside canteens; and beyond the city stretch a series of swamps and bayous that eventually open out into the yawning Gulf of Mexico. If discovering all this sounds like you're kind of trip, then take a look at Delta's great-value connecting flights, which take under six hours to cross the length of the United States.

Las Vegas is one of those places that we all have a picture of hung somewhere in the corridors of our imagination, and that only turns out to be wilder and stranger than we'd envisaged. Play to win big at the Bellagio or Monte Carlo casinos, then set off to experience whichever childhood fantasies remain unfulfilled, whether it be flying a fighter jet or whizzing round a NASCAR racetrack.
