October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and although the month is half over, there are still many deals offered by hotels and restaurants around the US to help raise awareness of this killer disease. This post is the first of several with lots of choice offerings as you "Think Pink" this month.
Hotels:

In the mood for a pink-themed pool party? Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL will be showing off its pink side with pink pool towels, lounge cushions, interior and exterior lighting, and more.
