Carrie Underwood fans should pack their bags for the Bahamas. If you stay at the Atlantis, Paradise Island on December 5, you'll get free tickets to see the American Idol winner rock the stage at the hotel.

The event will mark the country crooner's first concert following the release of her new album Play On. Underwood, a four-time Grammy winner and the Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year, will perform outside the hotel on the gorgeous beach. ]]> Jennifer Kester 2009-11-11T09:10:10-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/26/34421/501 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/Bahamas_Map_of_Islands.jpg" class="top"><p> <p>A bunch of resorts in the Bahamas have got together to offer a promotion for the winter season &#150; not that we need too much persuasion to escape somewhere warmer at that time of year, anyway.<p>At a dozen different hotels across the islands &#150; including the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Treasure+Cay+Hotel+Resort+&+Marina/local/812"><b>Treasure Cay Resort</b></a>, the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Cape+Eleuthera+Resort/local/1100"><b>Cape Eleuthera Resort</b></a>, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Pelican+Bay+At+Lucaya/ian/196244"><b>Pelican Bay at Lucaya</b></a> and <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Comfort+Suites+Paradise+Island/ian/213481"><b>Comfort Suites Paradise Island</b></a> - there are two parts to the deal.
