OMAHA, NE (May 19, 2008) Planning a "Staycation" and staying closer to home - instead of the traditional family vacation - may be a less expensive option this year. And, it could provide a whole new perspective on what fun activities and sites can be found in your own backyard.

"With rising gas prices, we know some families may not be able to take an extensive summer break. Yet vacations are the source of some of the most important, most pleasing memories, as kids and as parents. That's why The Amazing Pizza Machine encourages families to take a Staycation and 'play tourist' locally. Explore the opportunities within a short drive from home," says A. Mike Alesio, Managing Member, 6 4 Fun, LLC.

A Staycation can provide families all the same benefits they look forward to as part of their regular get-away: unique, one-of-a-kind attractions; activities for every member of the family; fresh, tasty food options; a break from the routine; and a way to create lasting memories. The Amazing Pizza Machine delivers all of these features, all under one roof.

"There's no place like The Amazing Pizza Machine. Named "The Top Family Entertainment Center of the World" by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, this unique 60,000 square-foot attraction is right here in Omaha," Alesio says. "Our buffet features 100-plus items, including pizza, pasta, salad and dessert bars, and more. Four themed dining rooms offer big screen televisions showing sporting events, movies, and cartoons. More than 140 games and 10 wild rides and attractions mean there is something here for everyone. You don’t have to travel far or spend a lot of money to 'get away.'"

To make the most of a summer break, Alesio says, "We invite guests of all ages to take a vacation to our clean, safe, fun, and affordable family entertainment center, where everything is worth celebrating!"
