This Memorial Day weekend (May 23rd - May 26th), the ‘Inn’ thing seems to be local travel. Gas prices flying high, grounded airlines and recession infected 401(k)’s are limiting travel spending. Hawaii would be nice, but if that’s not on the cards, there’s still lots of things to do in Sacramento, or Anaheim, or Vegas. And the hotel deals listed below will shave even more off your local Memorial Day weekend vacation costs.

The Golden Nugget, Las Vegas  -  Travelzoo is offering an unbelieveable rate of $49 for the nights of May 26th and 27th at the Golden Nugget. The rates go up to $99-$119 for stays between May 23rd and May 25th. Bookings before May 20th. Use promo code TZGV10. Hat tip to Hotelchatter.com. The ‘Nugget also has a mambo pool with a colossal shark tank and a three-story water slide.  There are three restaurants, a buffet, three cafes, and a Starbucks, in case your adrenaline wanes on the casino floor for a split second.
