Los Angeles

A last-minute cancellation means a deep holiday-weekend discount at this medieval-themed, 2-acre, room-for-25, near-Palm Springs mansion. Non-Arthurian amenities include HD plasmas, castle-wide audio system, Xbox, pool and poker tables, steam room, balcony bar, two Jacuzzis, tennis courts, and a giant pool w/ gargoyle fountains. If your friends aren't into booking it, they are clearly witches.
