Luxe Life: Off & Away Travel Site

Our latest obsession? None other than Off & Away, a new
website where travelers bid to win unbelievable experiences at incredible values.

The concept is simple - each day, auctions on new hotel experiences begin, typically lasting for several hours. Buy "bid packs" ($1 a bid) and you'll gain access to the sales. Each hotel experience is offered without reserve (meaning that prices start at $0). For each "bid" you make, the price goes up by just 25 cents. The catch? Each time someone places a bid, a bit more time (up to 30 seconds) is added to the clock.

You'll have to watch the site like a hawk, but perseverance pays off - a two-night deal on suite at The Pierre, a $40,000 value, went for under $1,000 on the site's first day in business, and a Wynn suite offering went for under $300.

"Travelers dream about staying in amazingly luxurious suites, but for most, these suites are entirely out of reach," said Doug Aley, CEO of Off & Away. "Off & Away is about giving travelers the opportunity to book an experience of a lifetime, experiences that in many cases aren't even available online."

We can't wait to spend more time exploring ... we're off and away to start bidding now!
