My buddy Sam Shank has launched a new site focusing on hotel deals - DealBase.com. Everyone loves to find a great deal these days, and DealBase.com has collected a lot of them - over 11,000 hotel deals for destinations in the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean. In addition to the broad selection of deals, what I like about DealBase.com is that they help me determine if a deal is truly a deal by comparing the regular price of a deal and any items it may contain to the discounted deal price.
Right about now you're saying to yourself, "Okay, I understand wanting to make the shameless plug for a friend, but Consuming Ambitions is a blog about food. What does this have to do with food?" Glad you asked! DealBase lists over 200 deals that include free dinner, including a deal at the Millennium Biltmore in downtown Los Angeles, and 100 deals that are wine themed. They say there's no such thing as a free lunch, but who said anything about free dinner? (Okay, a paid hotel stay is required, but still there are some good deals to be had.)
Or, if you're looking for an excuse to go to Las Vegas' restaurants, take a look at this amazing deal at the Palms Casino - by the time you factor in the free night and added benefits, the stay is effectively free! Just make sure you don't squander all those savings at the blackjack table.

Your talk about all this food already has me salivating. Thanks for the mention!
And great design, btw...from a fellow chowhound. If you have any suggestions on a decent "lavash-like burrito" in downtown San Mateo, please divulge. Yelp isn't helping out and as an SF-working transplant, I'm suffering. ;-)

Liz, that's a stumper. I've had lavash rolls here and there as part of sandwich platters, but have never known them to be served regularly anywhere (though I'm sure there must be a deli somewhere in the Peninsula run by Armenian/Persian/Turkish folk who offer it).

Amazing what you can build with a blog as the back-end (at least it looks like that is what it was built on). Cool site, though. He could have called it "hotelmenot" :)
