People often do things in hotels that they would never do in their own homes, such as sleep soundly, watch Marley and Me, or let the kids drink as much shampoo as they want. Let loose with today's Groupon: for $49, you get a one-night stay and a $20 breakfast voucher at The Resort on Mount Charleston, located 30 minutes outside of downtown Las Vegas (up to a $99.90 value).

Shining proudly after a 2005 renovation, The Resort on Mount Charleston grants guests the chance to enjoy restful stays, recreational expeditions, and refueling morning nibbles. The hotel rests within the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, high in the mountains of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest.

Groupon guests will receive a one-night stay in a room appointed with either two queen-size beds or one king-size bed, plus free WiFi and freeing views of the in-room flat-screen TV and nature's flat-screen TV—the surrounding mountains. Today's deal also grants guests a $20 breakfast voucher to use at the on-site restaurant, A Cut Above, which boasts an expansive menu of lumberjack-pleasing fare including an avocado-bacon skillet stuffed with gooey monterey jack cheese ($10.95).

Great for a couple's retreat away from Las Vegas' summer heat, the resort averages temperatures 20 degrees cooler than the city thanks to meteorological reality and a longstanding pact with the Sun. Although the nearby Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort is only open during the winter, guests can still engage in a number of outdoor activities during the spring and summer including hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Likewise, between excursions, guests can enjoy easy-on-the-body sensations with massages or wraps at the resort's full-service spa (not included in today's deal).
