Travel articles Eating Well on the Road Nearly a month after making a resolution to eat healthier, I'm finding myself struggling to follow through. I could blame my hectic work schedule and business travels, but it's really... Beach Beach: Pictures of the Radisson Aruba Resort and Casino. Mandalay Bay Since its opening in 1999, Mandalay Bay has become one of the most popular hotels on the Strip. At night, rumjungle becomes one of the hippest night spots in town. Concerts are held in the arena or the House of Blues concert hall. During the day, there's a rare coin museum, a walk-through aquarium and several trendy restaurants. Excalibur A colorful and whimsical castle at the south end of the Strip. At night, this castle is like a fairy tale come true, lit up in pinks, purples and greens. Across the drawbridge, the King Arthur theme will delight kids and anyone who grew up loving tales of knights in shining armor. Who Wants a Pleistocene-Era Backyard? While casting about for feel-good stories, we remembered the lost and starving Magellanic penguins that were airlifted to safety by the Brazilian army last fall. The young penguins, whose home is in the southern Atlantic, had wandered too far north, washing up on the warm beaches of Brazil by the hundreds, and the situation looked grim when "animal-welfare activists loaded the birds onto a Brazilian air force cargo plane and flew them 1,550 miles to the country's southern coast, where a crowd of onlookers celebrated as the penguins marched back into the sea." Definite feel-good material.
