'Weekend Warriors' in Washington

What's the deal? Book a two-night weekend stay at a participating Washington hotel and receive any-day, any-time admission tickets to see the exhibition "Terra Cotta Warriors: Guardians of China's First Emperor" at the National Geographic Museum. In addition, guests will receive breakfast for two and free valet parking.

What's the savings? Hotel rates start at about $103 per night. The package may include other amenities, depending upon the hotel you select. For example, Capital Hill Suites includes two all-day Metro cards. The cost of exhibition tickets is $12, but the main savings is convenience because regular admission is timed and allows for entry only during a specific 30-minute block. The free parking is valued at about $25-$30. If you use an American Express card to book your package, you will also receive 2-for-1 admission to Madame Tussauds.

What's the catch? Must stay Friday to Sunday or Saturday to Monday.
