You can usually get pretty good flight deals to both Vegas, and to a 
somewhat lesser extent, Orlando.

However, if planned far enough in advance, you can get *fairly* decent 
rates to just about anywhere (except for no-competition hub cities, such as 
my parent's home of  Minneapolis, where Northwest Airlines determines the 
price to this captive town.) Some places are never cheap once you get there 
- you will PAY to stay anywhere decent in Manhattan for example.

As to pricing of of the two towns mentioned by Carol/mallorn - Las Vegas is 
indeed cheap, as many have stated. It is amazing how much the web has 
helped people getting discounts on WDW/Orlando vacations. Fran and I go to 
WDW probably far too often than is wise (every 18 months on average), but 
we're happy fools with regard to that place, so we'd go again in a 
heartbeat. If the destination is determined to be there, I'll send a note 
with (far more than anyone wants) information on how to get discounts, and 
links to web pages for that. You can save $100s of dollars on Orlando/WDW 
vacations if you plan ahead.
