The top visitor destinations for this past Memorial Day Weekend

Chicago's Millennium Park, Loop area, is the top destination for travel between May 27-29, bumping Las Vegas, which held the No. 1 spot from 2003 to 2005.


Beach destinations, which fell out of vogue last year because of unusually cold May weather, returned to popularity, accounting for 15 spots on the top 50 list.

Warm-weather spots take up almost half of all of the top 50 destinations. Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head, S.C., which fell off of last year's list, are on it this year.

The top five destinations for travel, in order, are: Chicago's Millennium Park, Loop area; Las Vegas' strip vicinity; Chicago's North Michigan Avenue area; New York's Upper Midtown/Central Park South area; and New York's Midtown West.

Priceline.com's survey is based on more than 30,000 hotel-room booking requests made by priceline.com customers for the weekend>
