I am a huge fan of Groupon and other daily deal sites. They usually provide huge discounts and introduce you to new places you may not have tried if there wasn't a daily deal promotion.
The one draw back to daily deals is that I started signing up for dozens of daily deal enewsletters. It's been packing my inbox and become overwhelming. Then I discovered Deal Radar. It compiles all the deals in the area you define. I highly recommend this. http://www.dealradar.com
I am building an online destination for Inland Empire, CA. This blog shares my experience of exploring and discovering IE attractions while building a website and business. Website launching this summer: www.IEShineOn.com
