Labor Day Weekend is just around the corner, and Priceline has revealed where travelers are heading to celebrate the unofficial end of summer. According to the company’s latest booking data shared with The Manual, Las Vegas, Nevada tops the list as the most popular domestic destination for 2025. 

With easy direct flights from cities across the country, Vegas makes for a quick and simple weekend escape. Travelers can expect a packed lineup of concerts, pool parties, high-energy shows, and special holiday events, cementing its reputation as the ultimate party destination.

Coming in second is Chicago, where visitors can enjoy late-summer vibes along Lake Michigan, catch a Cubs game at Wrigley Field, or explore the city’s world-class dining scene. 

Rounding out the top three is Orlando, Florida, a long-time favorite among families thanks to its theme parks and year-round sunshine.

The most popular international destinations

If you’re planning to spend Labor Day Weekend abroad, you won’t need to travel too far for the top pick. Niagara Falls, Canada, takes the number one spot on Priceline’s list, giving travelers the chance to cross the border while still staying close to home. Visitors can enjoy the area’s casinos, restaurants, and, of course, the amazing views of the falls.

Other international favorites are a mix of tropical escapes and long-standing favorites. Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, remains a go-to for its all-inclusive resorts and golden beaches, while Tokyo, Japan, attracts travelers eager to immerse themselves in culture and tradition. Rounding out the top five are Montreal, Canada, and London, England.

Stockholm: Copenhagen’s Bigger, Bluer Cousin
Architecture, Building, Spire

Copenhagen and Stockholm are often paired on Scandinavian itineraries, which makes complete sense. Both are handsome waterfront capitals packed with boats, bicycles, top-tier public transport, serious museums, and a population that seems constitutionally incapable of designing an ugly chair.

National Dog Day Is Around the Corner. These Hotels Will Happily Welcome Your Fur Baby
Animal, Canine, Mammal

There’s only one thing I hate about traveling. It’s not the flight delays; delays mean more time to sit at the bar before boarding time. It’s not the long lines at security or going through customs; gotta love TSA PreCheck and Global Entry. And it’s not waiting at baggage claim. I never check a bag. The flight back is different because sometimes you’re forced to check your bag.

If this story’s headline didn’t give it away, then let me clue you in on what I hate about traveling: It’s leaving my dog, Stella, behind. She’s a 5-year-old English bulldog who is my shadow when I’m home. There are no U.S. or European airlines that will accept my 54-pound dog, never mind that she’s an emotional support animal. Earlier this year, during a 12-day road trip along Route 66 from Santa Monica to Chicago, Stella stayed behind because we had to fly from Austin, Texas, to Los Angeles to kick off the road trip. If you’re a dog parent, you understand that those 12 days can feel like 12 weeks.
