Great Stays: Six Nights of Oceanfront Bliss at Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa

By Frank Macek

Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa

I checked into Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa on August 8th with one goal: unplug for six nights and let the Atlantic do most of the entertaining. By the time I checked out on August 14th, I'd more than accomplished that, though I hadn't expected a single property to keep me that occupied without ever having to leave the grounds.

The resort sits at 3030 Holiday Drive, tucked along a quarter-mile stretch of private beach that's exclusive to guests, just far enough from the heart of Las Olas Boulevard to feel like a genuine escape but close enough that the shops, dining, and nightlife are only a short ride away. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is about five miles out, which made the transfer from the terminal to my room mercifully short.

Check-in was smooth.

I'd booked a Deluxe Oceanview Room, and from the moment I walked in, it was clear why this property leans so heavily on its waterfront setting in every bit of marketing. The room itself carried the beach-inspired décor the resort is known for, with a private balcony that opened straight onto the Atlantic. High-speed Wi-Fi, a mini-refrigerator, and a streaming-capable TV rounded out the practical side of things, but none of that mattered nearly as much as the view. I lost more mornings than I'll admit just standing out on that balcony with coffee, watching the water change color as the sun climbed.

Six nights gave me plenty of time to actually settle into a rhythm, which is something I don't always get on shorter trips. Mornings usually started at Riva, the resort's family-friendly waterfront spot known for its breakfasts, or with a quick stop at HB Fresh for a smoothie when I wanted something lighter before heading down to the sand. On a couple of mornings I skipped both and just walked over to the on-site Starbucks instead, coffee in hand, watching the resort slowly wake up before the pool chairs filled in.

By day three, I had a system down. Beach in the morning while the sand was still cool, a break back in the room during the peak afternoon heat, then the pool for the late afternoon before dinner.

It's a simple loop, but a resort this size makes it easy to stick to without ever feeling repetitive, since there was always a different restaurant, a different corner of the property, or a different activity to swap in.

The beach itself is the real centerpiece here, and having it feel private, rather than shared with every hotel up and down the strip, made a noticeable difference. The beach service crew deserves real credit too, attentive without hovering, quick with drinks and towels, and always checking in without making it feel like an upsell. My one gripe was the umbrella charge; it's an extra cost on top of everything else, and after a few days it started to feel like it should just be included for guests already paying resort rates.

Between beach days, I found myself gravitating toward the 8,000-square-foot Tropical Lagoon Pool, which has enough chaise lounges and day beds scattered around it that finding a quiet corner was never a problem, even midweek in August.

One afternoon I ordered lunch poolside from Sea Level Restaurant and Ocean Bar, which turned out to be one of the better decisions of the trip. Fresh seafood, premium cuts, and a menu built around local ingredients, served without ever having to leave my chair.

On a different evening, I wandered over to Loggerhead Sand Bar for cocktails right at the edge of the sand, with nothing between me and the Atlantic but a stretch of dark water and torchlight.

Dining here, honestly, could fill its own article. Between 3030 Ocean, the resort's beachfront bistro built around fresh seafood, the speakeasy-style Engine Room hidden behind Riva, and OV Tiki, a Polynesian rum bar housed inside a converted blue bus on the Ocean View Terrace, there's a different mood available every night of the week. I didn't make it through all ten of the resort's restaurants and bars in six nights, but I gave it a serious effort. Food quality was consistently good, though I'll be upfront that prices ran on the higher end across the board, which is worth budgeting for if you're planning to eat on property most nights.

One night stood out above the rest, even though I wasn't the one at the table. Walking the beach after dinner, I passed a couple seated right on the sand at Sea Level Restaurant's Barefoot Dining experience, a four-course, family-style meal built around a "toes in the sand" concept, complete with a Champagne toast and wines selected by the resort's sommelier. Tiki torches were lit around their table, and watching it from a distance, I made a mental note to book it myself next time. It looked like exactly the kind of dinner that justifies a reservation well in advance.

The spa deserves its own mention too.

At 22,000 square feet, it's a full-service operation with a private pool, whirlpool, sauna, and fitness center attached, and I booked a massage midway through the week that turned out to be exactly the reset I needed after a few too many hours in the sun. Guests can also drop into daily fitness classes if the beach and pool aren't enough activity on their own.

For a resort with this much going on, the pace never felt frantic. There's a version of this stay built around adventure, with wave runners, paddleboards, and other watercraft rentals available right off the beach, and a version built around doing nothing beyond flipping pages in a lounge chair. I split the difference, and the resort made that easy.

A few practical notes for anyone planning a similar trip. Check-in runs from 4:00 p.m. and checkout is 11:00 a.m., though the resort offers guaranteed early check-in at 10:00 a.m. and late checkout until 4:00 p.m., which is worth asking about if your flight schedule doesn't line up neatly with standard hours.

The property has gone fully cashless, so have a card or mobile payment method ready for everything from drinks at the Loggerhead Sand Bar to a treat from HB Fresh.

One more Florida-specific note worth knowing: restaurants here commonly add an automatic 20 percent gratuity to your dinner check, and that was the case throughout my stay. It's not necessary to tip on top of that unless the service genuinely earns it, and if something falls short, you can ask to have that automatic gratuity adjusted downward rather than feeling locked into it.

Parking is available on-site, with self-parking running $5 hourly or $59 daily, and valet at $65 daily. It's not a small line item over six nights, so factor that into your budget if you're driving in rather than flying. The resort is also smoke-free throughout, and pets aren't permitted, so leave the four-legged travel companions at home for this one.

If you're traveling with Marriott Bonvoy status or considering signing up, it's worth doing before you book. Members get complimentary in-room Wi-Fi when booking direct, and I noticed enough small touches throughout the stay, from mobile key access to daily housekeeping, that loyalty perks clearly extend beyond just point accumulation here.

By the middle of the week, I'd stopped checking my phone for anything other than photos.

There's something about six nights in one place, oceanfront, with nowhere urgent to be, that resets a traveler in a way a quick overnight never quite manages. I've stayed at plenty of beach resorts over the years, but few have made it this easy to just exist for a stretch of days without the trip feeling like it needed managing.

Checkout morning came with the usual reluctance. I took one last walk down the private beach before heading to the airport, coffee in hand, watching the same tide I'd been watching all week roll in one more time. Fort Lauderdale has no shortage of oceanfront properties competing for a traveler's attention, but this one earned its reputation the old-fashioned way, through genuinely good food, a beach worth returning to every single day, and a room that made it hard to want to leave.

Frank's "3" Insider Tips

1. Book the Deluxe Oceanview Room if it's within budget: The private balcony alone made the room worth the upgrade, and six nights of sunrise coffee out there is not something I regret spending on.
2. Ask about guaranteed early check-in and late checkout: With check-in access as early as 10:00 a.m. and room access held until 4:00 p.m. on departure, it's an easy way to stretch a multi-day stay without losing time at either end.
3. Pace your restaurant list across the whole stay, and budget accordingly: With ten dining and drink options on property, from the speakeasy-style Engine Room to Loggerhead Sand Bar right on the sand, spreading them across six nights beats trying to cram them into two or three, though prices run high, so plan for it. Also know that Florida restaurants typically add a 20 percent gratuity automatically, so there's no need to tip extra unless you want to, and it can be adjusted downward if service falls short.

TSA PreCheck Touchless ID Is Making Airport Security Even Faster

By Frank Macek

If you've ever stood in a long airport security line digging through your wallet for a driver's license while trying to balance your boarding pass and carry-on luggage, there's good news. The Transportation Security Administration has introduced TSA PreCheck Touchless ID, a new feature designed to make the airport experience even quicker for eligible travelers.

Think of it as the next evolution of TSA PreCheck.

Instead of handing your ID to a TSA officer, travelers enrolled in Touchless ID simply step up to a camera. The system compares a live image of your face with the passport information already associated with your TSA PreCheck account. If everything matches, you're on your way through security in just a few seconds. No fumbling for documents and no handing over your identification. The technology is entirely optional and uses facial recognition only to verify your identity at the checkpoint. Images are deleted after verification and are not used for surveillance or law enforcement purposes, according to the TSA.

Not everyone can use Touchless ID just yet. You'll need an active TSA PreCheck membership, a valid passport, and you'll have to be flying with a participating airline. Enrollment is simple: add your Known Traveler Number and passport information to your airline profile, then opt in during your reservation or at check-in. Once you've done that, just look for the dedicated Touchless ID lane at participating airports.

The program continues to expand across the country, with more than 60 airports now offering the service, including Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Travelers passing through CLE can already take advantage of the faster screening process if they meet the eligibility requirements.

One important thing to remember: even though you may not need to show your physical ID during screening, you should still carry a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or another acceptable form of identification. TSA officers can still request to see it if necessary.

For frequent travelers, every minute counts. TSA PreCheck already saves valuable time, and Touchless ID removes one more step from the process. It's a small change, but one that makes traveling feel just a little more seamless. As more airlines and airports adopt the technology, don't be surprised if showing your driver's license at airport security eventually becomes the exception rather than the rule.

Great Escapes: Standing Atop an American Icon at Hoover Dam

Great Escapes: Standing Atop an American Icon at Hoover Dam

By Frank Macek

Hoover Dam from the Arizona side

There's a particular kind of quiet that hits you standing on top of Hoover Dam, seven hundred feet above the Colorado River, with Lake Mead stretching out on one side and the canyon dropping away on the other. It's not silence, exactly. There's wind, and the low hum of turbines somewhere below your feet.

But it's the kind of quiet that comes from standing on something that big, something that took thousands of workers and the better part of a decade to build, and realizing it's still doing exactly the job it was built for nearly a century later.

Hoover Dam sits about thirty miles southeast of the Las Vegas Strip, straddling the Nevada-Arizona border where the Colorado River carved out Black Canyon long before anyone thought to dam it. Administered today by the Bureau of Reclamation's Lower Colorado Dams Office, the dam is open to the public daily from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and it's one of those rare attractions that manages to be both a working piece of infrastructure and one of the most visited landmarks in the American Southwest.

Getting there is half the experience.

The drive out from Vegas takes you past Boulder City and up onto US-93, where the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge now carries through-traffic around the dam entirely, a soaring arch built specifically so vehicles no longer have to cross the top of the dam itself. I'd recommend making the separate stop at the bridge's pedestrian walkway and overlook before or after your visit, because the view down at the dam and the turquoise water pooled behind it puts the entire scale of the place into perspective in a way nothing else quite does.

Once you're through the Nevada Security Checkpoint, and yes, every vehicle is subject to inspection, you'll want to decide ahead of time how deep you want to go. There are three tiers of tours here, and picking the right one shapes your whole visit.

Visitor Entrance

The Self-Guided Visitor Center Tour runs $15 per person and gets you into the narrated exhibits, the Observation Deck with its 360-degree view of the dam, the river, Lake Mead, and the bypass bridge downstream, and the Original Exhibit Building with its 3D model of the region's dams and power systems. It's a solid option if you're short on time or traveling with young kids.

Step up to the Guided Power Plant Tour, priced at $25 for adults and $15 for kids ages four to sixteen, and you get walked through the original construction tunnels down to a viewing platform overlooking a thirty-foot-diameter penstock, close enough to feel the vibration of water rushing through the pipe, plus a look at eight of the commercial generators inside the Nevada Powerhouse. This one is wheelchair, scooter, and stroller accessible, and the staff told me the least crowded windows are 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. and 2:30 to 3:45 p.m.

View from the Pat Tillman Bridge

Then there's the Guided Dam Tour, the full experience at $40 per person, which adds a ride on the original elevator to the top of the dam, a walk through the inspection tunnels at its center, and a view of the Colorado River through the inspection ventilation shaft on top of the Power Plant Tour itinerary.

I went all in on this one, and it was worth every dollar. Standing inside the inspection tunnels, with the concrete walls curving overhead and the sound of the river somewhere far below, gave me a completely different appreciation for what it took to build this thing by hand in the early 1930s.

A few important notes if you're planning the same route I took. The Guided Dam Tour cannot be purchased online. It's sold on-site only, in person, first come first served, and it routinely sells out, so arriving early is genuinely good advice, not just something they print on the website to be safe. The entire group has to be present at the time of purchase, and there's no stroller or motorized wheelchair access on that particular tour since it involves the ventilation shaft. Also worth knowing: visitors must be over sixteen to take a tour unaccompanied, and if you deal with claustrophobia, know going in that these tours include elevator rides and tunnel walking.

Emergency stairs if workers trapped inside

Security is thorough here, understandably so for a piece of federal infrastructure that also happens to be a major tourist site. Everyone passes through screening before buying tickets, metal objects come out of your pockets, and bags get physically inspected.

Weapons and knives of any size, including pocketknives, aren't allowed in any building on the property, and firearms, explosives, fireworks, and drones are all prohibited outright. Parking is available in a garage on the Nevada side for $10 per vehicle, while anyone towing a trailer or driving an oversized rig gets routed to lots on the Arizona side.

I hadn't expected the history to hit as hard as it did.

This is a structure that redefined what engineers thought concrete and ambition could accomplish, built during the depths of the Great Depression by a workforce that took on genuinely dangerous work to get it done. Walking the tunnels, you get flashes of that story everywhere, in the old construction shafts, in the exhibit building's scale model, in the sheer improbability of the whole thing holding back a river this size.

Outside of the tours themselves, there's more to see than I expected. The dam towers were still wrapped in oversized American flags when I visited, a leftover from a light and flag display tied to the country's 250th anniversary, and the effect against the desert sky was striking even in daylight. The plaza area up top has room to just stand and take it in, which I ended up doing longer than planned, watching the traffic cross the dam road and trying to spot kayakers on the river far below.

If you're the type who wants everything mapped out in advance, the Visitor Center publishes a full site map as a downloadable PDF, worth a glance before you go so you know your route between the parking garage, checkpoint, and tour entrances.

And if you're bringing food or water along, know that bottled water is fine but food and drinks in sealed packaging can't be consumed inside any building on the property.

By the time I made it back across the bridge toward Boulder City, sunburned and a little awestruck, I understood why this stop keeps showing up on every Las Vegas itinerary that isn't entirely about the Strip. Hoover Dam isn't just a photo opportunity on the way to somewhere else. It's an engineering marvel you can actually walk into, and that's a rare thing to get to do.

Frank's "3" Insider Tips

1. Pick your tour tier before you arrive, and know the Dam Tour is cash-and-carry: The full Guided Dam Tour can't be bought online and often sells out, so get there early and have your whole group ready to purchase together.

2. Make a separate stop at the bypass bridge: The Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge overlook, on its own pedestrian walkway downstream of the dam, gives you the best wide-angle view of the dam and Lake Mead, and it's easy to skip if you're only focused on the tour itself.

3. Time the Power Plant Tour for the quiet windows: Staff pointed me to 9:00–11:00 a.m. and 2:30–3:45 p.m. as the least crowded stretches of the day.

Great Escapes: Finding Wide-Open Wonder at Red Rock Canyon Outside Las Vegas

By Frank Macek

Most people fly into Las Vegas chasing bright lights, buffets, and the constant hum of the Strip. I did too, at first. But it only took a twenty-minute drive west of the city for the noise to fall away completely, replaced by towering walls of red and cream sandstone rising out of the Mojave Desert like something out of another world.

That's Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, and it turned out to be one of the most unexpected highlights of my entire Las Vegas trip. Spread across nearly 196,000 acres, this is a place where the desert does all the talking, and it has plenty to say.

The moment you turn off West Charleston Boulevard and the Strip's skyline disappears in the rearview mirror, the terrain changes fast. Joshua trees and creosote bushes give way to ridgelines striped in deep red, rust, and gold, layered like a cake that took millions of years to bake. It's easy to forget you're still technically inside the Las Vegas Valley. 

Red Rock Canyon is managed by the Bureau of Land Management, with day-to-day operations, interpretive programming, and the visitor experience run by the Southern Nevada Conservancy, a nonprofit that clearly takes its stewardship seriously. Everything about the place, from the trail signage to the ranger-led programs, felt well cared for without ever feeling overly manicured. It's still wild out there, and that's exactly the point.

My first stop was the Visitor Center, which turned out to be the smartest move of the day. It's open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and functions as a genuine information hub rather than just a gift shop with a pulse.

Inside, there are indoor and outdoor exhibits covering the canyon's geology, plants, and wildlife, along with live desert tortoise habitats that had a small crowd of kids and adults alike glued to the glass. I spent a good twenty minutes chatting with a staffer at the information desk about which trails would suit the time I had, and that conversation shaped the rest of my visit. Before heading out, I also popped into the Elements Gift & Book Store for a magnet and a trail guide, because apparently I can't visit anywhere without bringing home a magnet.

The centerpiece of Red Rock Canyon is the thirteen-mile Scenic Drive, a one-way loop that winds through the heart of the conservation area and gives visitors access to the major overlooks and trailheads without ever having to leave the comfort of the car, though plenty of cyclists were tackling it on two wheels as well. The road climbs and dips through the canyon, delivering one jaw-dropping vista after another, from the sweeping sandstone escarpment of the Calico Hills to the layered cliffs near the High Point Overlook.

I found myself pulling off at nearly every marked stop, camera in hand, trying to capture colors that seemed to shift depending on the angle of the sun. Late afternoon light turned the rock a shade of red I hadn't quite seen anywhere else, somewhere between rust and fire.

One thing worth knowing before you go: entrance to the Scenic Drive requires a Timed Entry reservation from October 1 through May 31, booked in advance through Recreation.gov, while the summer months from April through September currently don't require that reservation, with the drive open daily from 6:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. Hours shift a bit by season, running a little shorter in the fall and winter months, so it's worth checking the current schedule before you plan your visit. Entrance fees go directly toward maintaining the drive, the trails, and the visitor facilities, which felt like money well spent given the condition everything was in.

Trails are really where Red Rock Canyon shows off.

There are twenty-six numbered hikes and trails throughout the conservation area, ranging from short, flat strolls to challenging climbs into slot canyons and up toward mountain peaks, all keyed to a downloadable trail map so you can match numbers on the ground to descriptions on the website. I didn't have time to tackle anything too ambitious, so I opted for one of the shorter interpretive walks near Red Springs, a boardwalk trail that winds through a spring-fed oasis tucked improbably into the desert floor. Cottonwood trees, seasonal pools, and the kind of quiet you can practically hear made it feel like a completely different ecosystem from the open desert just a few hundred yards away. For anyone with more time and better hiking legs than mine, trails leading into the Calico Hills or up toward Turtlehead Peak looked spectacular, with climbers scaling routes on the sandstone walls that draw visitors from around the world.

Rock climbing, in fact, is a huge part of the culture out here. Red Rock Canyon has become one of the premier climbing destinations in the country, with routes suited to everything from first-timers to seasoned multi-pitch veterans tackling the towering formations in the Calico Hills. I watched a small group work their way up a sheer rock face near one of the pullouts, and even as a spectator, it was thrilling to see how the sandstone's texture, all those ripples and cross-bedded layers, gives climbers something to grip that looks almost impossible from a distance.

Wildlife and wildflowers add another layer worth watching for depending on when you visit. Desert bighorn sheep occasionally make an appearance on the rocky slopes, and the diversity of plant life, from yucca to desert wildflowers in bloom during the right season, gives the whole place a rotating cast of characters throughout the year.

The Conservancy runs regular programs like Wildlife Wednesday and Flower Friday that highlight what's currently active in the canyon, along with a full calendar of ranger-led hikes, night walks, and family programs that run nearly every week. I happened to catch mention of an evening bat walk at Red Springs and a scorpion search using blacklights, and if my schedule had allowed, I would have stuck around for either one. There's clearly a whole after-dark side of Red Rock Canyon that daytime visitors like me only get a hint of.

For campers, there's a developed campground about two miles east of the Visitor Center that opened back in 1998, and cyclists have the option of riding the Scenic Drive itself or heading out onto designated mountain bike trails, with roads like Rocky Gap and the Cottonwood Valley area open for off-highway touring outside the main loop. Photography is welcome everywhere for personal use, though professional shoots require a permit, something worth knowing if you're hoping to do more than snap a few vacation photos.

If there's one thing I'd tell fellow travelers before heading out, it's to plan around the heat and the light. Nevada desert sun doesn't mess around, and there's no water available anywhere along the loop or the trails, so bring more than you think you'll need.

Early morning or that golden hour before sunset are unbeatable times to be out there, both for the temperature and for the way the light plays off the rock. I also can't stress enough how different this feels from the Las Vegas most visitors experience. There's no soundtrack of slot machines here, no flashing marquees. Just wind, rock, and a horizon that stretches farther than anything you'll see from a hotel window on the Strip.

By the time I looped back onto Charleston Boulevard and the casino towers came back into view, I had a phone full of photos and a real appreciation for how much variety Las Vegas actually offers beyond the obvious. Red Rock Canyon isn't a detour from a Vegas trip. For my money, it's one of the best reasons to take one.

Frank's "3" Insider Tips

1. Book your Timed Entry ahead if you're visiting October through May: Reservations for the Scenic Drive are required during that stretch of the year and go through Recreation.gov, so don't wait until you're at the gate to figure this out.

2. Start at the Visitor Center before you drive the loop: A few minutes with the rangers and information desk staff will help you match the right trail to the time and energy you actually have, and the live tortoise habitat alone is worth the stop.

3. Chase the late-afternoon light: The sandstone changes color dramatically as the sun drops, and a pullout that looked ordinary at noon can turn spectacular an hour before sunset.
