Boulder's all about being outside. Go hike in the flatirons or rent some mountain bikes.

Eldorado Springs is also close, and there's the Celestial Seasonings tour (which is fun).

I agree except right now it's pretty hot during the daytime. I am in Denver and it's above 100 right now. Mabe you should go to Eulich Garden (denver only about 30 minute drive) and there are plenty of hotels you can stay at downtown.

yeah, i saw the recent heatwave you guys are having and while its hot, it looks like its cooling off later in the week.either way though, its got to be better than the 95 degrees with 100% humidity here in tally.

St Louis Casinos include Harrahs and Ameristar about 15 miles from downtown and the President about 5 blocks from downtown. All three have poker. The Casino Queen across the river from downtown does not have poker.

If you like sports I would suggest Cardinal or Gateway Grizzly games. www.stlcardinals.com and www.gatewaygrizzlies.com Grizzly games are really cool. 24 oz cans of beer are $4, tickets are cheap and you can sit really close to the field. After the game the players sign autographs. My son especially got a big kick out of it. (he was 10 years old). I always have a great time there.

If you like history you may want to check out the Cahokia Mounds and museum. Additional information can be found here http://www.state.il.us/hpa/hs/Mounds.htm

The St Louis Zoo is free and supposed to be one the best in the U.S. You can tour the Busch brewery and receive samples (tour and samples are free). For additional information on St Louis visit http://www.explorestlouis.com/unique...asp?PageType=4

Thank you,

the humidity must suck big time!!! I am glad to hear it is supposed to cool off soon. I went on a 30 mile bike ride today and thought I was going to pass out!

Re: Cool Hotels/Things to Do when in Nashville, St. Louis, MO or Boulder,
 

In St Louis check out The Hill (Italian section of town) for great Italian restaurants and delis. I lived there for a summer 5 years ago and I believe Soulard is where most of the nightlife was. The brewery tour is interesting and worth it, and they are not stingy with the free beer at the end. If religious architechture interests you, the Catherdral Basilica of St Louis is one of the most amazing I've ever seen (In the States anyway). Not sure of your budget, but if you can swing it the Ritz-Carlton there is very nice.

Boulder: Drinks at the Catacombs. That's all.

Re: Cool Hotels/Things to Do when in Nashville, St. Louis, MO or Bould
 

St. Louis: Dinner at Sydney Street Cafe. Dominatingly great.

Meh. There is really no reason to come here unless it's the first Saturday in May.

thanks for all the responses thus far.

i only know about boulder.

best bar: the sundown saloon

there isn't much good food in boulder, except for sushi. sushi zanmai is really good, and worth checking out.

i recommend hiking the flatirons. it's really not a difficult hike, but it's fun and a great view. also, it's only like less than 2 hours round trip to the top. definitely worth it. also go to red rocks. if there's no concert going on you can go in and just wander around...gotta see it at least once. rocky mountain national park is a bit further away, but also a must-see.

for going out in boulder in general, stick to pearl street. the hill is mostly college age people, and judging by the fact that you're engaged i'm guessing that isn't your scene. if you want to play pool, go to the foundry.

also be forewarned that boulder is it's own little world, full of yuppies and trustafarians. i'm sure you'll have a good time visiting though. good luck!
