It’s simple to spot out the best deals by categories which include airfare, hotels, car rentals, cruises, vacations, shows & events and last-minute specials.

As a result of the gas crisis that had most of us staying home, the site introduced a new feature called the “Deals Near You” category. This is a great place to browse if you have a weekend night free to dash away (or spend it in a fancy ATL hotel), or if you’re looking for deals for dinner or theater performances.

Here’s a sampling of deals in and around the 30067 zip code (greater Atlanta) published today:

• $99 for an overnight at the sleek Atlanta W

• $38.50 tickets to ‘Kooza’ by Cirque du Soleil in Atlanta

• $120 for an over night at the downtown Westin Peachtree Plaza

• $25 for dinner at the ‘Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament’

• from $85 a night at the four-star Sheraton Music City in Nashville

• from $89 a night at the Hilton Savannah DeSoto in Savannah’s historic district

• from $109 a night at the AAA four-diamond Mansion on Forsyth Park in Savannah

• See the Disney on Ice ‘Mickey & Minnie’s Magical Journey’ performance in North Charleston from $10 a ticket

• Get a third night free at a luxury Panama City condo with two nights from $68 each
