When it comes to prime locations, it's hard to top the brand new Aloft Mount Laurel. Located between Philadelphia, just 25 minutes due east, and Atlantic City, an hour's drive to the southwest, it's the perfect destination to combine a day of American history with an evening of gambling and shows. To celebrate its grand opening, this inspiring hotel is offering some great introductory rates. At just $99 a night on weekdays and only $64 a night on weekends, it won't take much to experience the best of both Philly, AC, and the charming area of Mount Laurel itself. You might start with a visit to the U.S. Mint, which not only makes the coins that jingle in your pocket, but also guards the country's gold and silver assets. Or swing by one of my favorite quirky attractions in New Jersey, Lucy the Margate Elephant, a giant, gray "zoomorphic" elephant located just south of the Atlantic City Strip. If you need some high culture in your life, take in a performance at the National Ballet of New Jersey, just five miles from the hotel. Whatever you wind up doing, you'll find all the creature comforts when you get back to your room, from the Aloft signature bed and free wifi to a high-tech entertainment center and a collection of Bliss Spa amenities in the bathroom.
