| Acapulco |
 For thousands of annual visitors, Acapulco is the ideal holiday resort. This Pacific resort is a Mecca for those who love swimming, shopping, and enjoying the nightlife. Acapulco Bay, one of the world's best natural harbors, is the city's centerpiece. The weather is Acapulco's major draw--warm waters, almost constant sunshine, and year-round temperatures in the 80s.

Beach diversions come in all varieties at this amazing resort town. More

Reader Ted Chapman, who signed his letter to the Times "Vegas veteran," takes issue with several points that writer made.
