If you visit Cardiff in Wales then Cardiff Castle is an excellent attraction.
Allow several hours to walk around and it is a decent sized castle.
It is right on the edge of the city centre and very easy to get to.

I was in Vegas a few weeks ago and I stayed in Harrahs Hotel. It's right in the middle of the Strip, has a monorail stop, is cheaper than some of the other hotels nearby yet is still excellent.
Also www.lasvegasculture.co.uk/ is a new site on Vegas and has some good info added daily.

Two ideas to budget in NYC on holiday:
1. You can get tickets to see TV recordings for free i.e. for Ricki Lake. You need often to apply early though.
2. On the same day, head down to Time Square and the TKTS booth and get theatre tickets half price.
TKTS Booth, 46th st & Broadways

A new site has been launched online. It gets new content added each day and is aimed at British travellers to Las Vegas.
I recently stayed in Barcelona and tried out a holiday rental apartment rather than a hotel. I used a company called Holiday Velvet and they were very efficient and offered excellent support.
Seoul Tower is one of my favourite attractions. On top of a massive hill, it gives you a very good view of Seoul as a whole and a good perspective of the city.
