Glamour and elegance characterize Palm Springs -- while the days of Frank, Marilyn, Dean Martin and Liberace are gone, an upscale and classy Palm Springs remains. Thanks to the initiatives by the late mayor Sonny Bono, Palm Springs exudes elegance -- bare-bottomed bikinis and roadside billboards have been banned in favor of top-quality establishments and landscaped greenery.

Many visitors book flights to Palm Springs in search of real estate and investments -- a popular pastime among the baby-boomer travelers.
