Take advantage of the year’s biggest sale (a 72-Hour event) for Atlantis, Paradise Island, Bahamas. This resort playground has just unveiled the lowest prices ever advertised for its two most luxurious “towers” - Royal Towers and the 5-star The Cove Atlantis - essentially resorts within a resort. Nightly rates for autumn visits are $149 (regularly $495) and $279 (regularly $640), respectively - or up to a 65 percent savings. The fall deals are valid on Sept. 2-Nov. 2 stays, including select weekends which are rarely discounted.
The savings also extend to deals on some of Atlantis' most popular attractions, including two dolphin interactions and access to kids clubs for $99 (regularly $390), plus casino and golf deals which can be added during the booking process.

This mega-sale also includes deals for summer visits. Prices start from $270 per night at the Coral Towers, including a Taste of Atlantis Pass, which includes $150 in food and drinks and the Kids Fun Pass with more than $350 in kid-friendly activities. Valid on June 18-Aug. 17 stays. A two-night minimum stay is required.
Aquaventure, Atlantis Paradise Island’s water park, is a one-of-a-kind 141-acre waterscape at Atlantis. This aquatic thrill ride features over twenty million gallons of water, Atlantean-themed towers, high-speed water slides, a mile-long river ride with rolling rapids and wave surges, 20 swimming areas, a spectacular kids water-play fort and 11 unique swimming pools connected by an interconnected tropical environment.
The resort also features 11 pools, three white-sand beaches, a world-class spa, golf, the Caribbean's largest casino and 21 restaurants - including celebrity hot spots Nobu and Mesa Grill.

Compliment the vacations savings by booking airfare to Nassau, Bahamas at rates from $110 each way. Trips are permitted daily, based on sale space availability on trips started on or after Aug. 18 and finished on or before Nov. 21. Buy tickets through June 13. With a one-week or more advance purchase notice, travel to Nassau at $120 each way when booking tickets through midnight, June 6. Airfares are valid on AirTran or Delta - both with daily nonstop service from Atlanta.
Sale airfares are always subject to change. Every seat on every flight is not offered at the lowest rate. Since only a limited supply of seats is available, act quickly to make your purchase. I recommend starting the search for available seats at Kayak.com vs. calling an airline directly. You can also search for the sale at travel websites such as Expedia, Orbitz or Travelocity, etc.
