A spectacular front-row view of Idaho’s Sawtooth Range is one of the extras you get along with your massage or facial—and glass of wine—at the Meadow Creek Inn & Spa in Stanley, three hours north of Boise. Oh, and did we mention that the rate covers all that and your room too? From $89 per person; valid Sun–Thu (800-811-5745; www.meadowcreekinn.com). –Laura Stavoe

$95 Take a chauffeured (backroads) wine-country tour
Grape Escape Winery Tours picks up thirsty visitors in downtown Portland in one of its cushy vans and drives backroads through the rolling Chehalem Mountains while a guide explains the birth of Oregon winemaking.

$95 Pay for an hour, stay for the day
At Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort near San Luis Obispo, California, the indulgence doesn’t have to stop when your massage is over.

Treatments from $95 (800-234-5831; www.sycamoresprings.com). –Matthew Jaffe

$72 Take a (mini) cruise
Where can you get a hotel room, dinner, dancing, and a pool with an ever-changing view for less than $75 a day? On an international cruise in Seattle’s backyard! In September, one of Celebrity Cruises’ Alaska ships has a brief shoulder season in the Puget Sound before it heads to warm-winter spots like Hawaii. Three- and four-night cruises on the Celebrity Mercury, which can cost half as much per day as an Alaska voyage, tootle around from Seattle to British Columbia’s Nanaimo and Victoria, then back to Seattle. Get the best deal by leaving on a Monday for a four-night cruise: base fare from $289 per person for an inside stateroom (877-202-4345; www.celebritycruises.com). –Jenny Cunningham

$65 Taste tequilas
Sign up to be a Border Grill VIP (just ask to be put on the list), and your next Vegas splurge comes at a Baja price. For $65 you can indulge in a Tequila Tasting Dinner—a $125 value—at the mod-Mex cantina in Mandalay Bay. Try high-end agave spirits in cocktails dreamed up by Border Grill’s mixologists and paired with south-of-the-border fusion cuisine. In a recent tasting, the chocolate truffle cake with a snifter of Partida Elegante (usually $60 a shot) was itself worth the price of admission (702-632-7403; www.bordergrill.com). –Phil Hagen

Watch ballet under the stars
Ballet Arizona goes outside in September with its Ballet Under the Stars series. Costumed company dancers reprise bits from past seasons and experiment with new work at grassy metro Phoenix settings that include a historic ranch in Glendale and an amphitheater in Tempe (602-343-6500; www.balletaz.org). –Nora Burba Trulsson
