No one comes to Denver to stay inside. The folks at Visit Denver, Colorado's Tourist and Vacation office, know that for certain. There's so much to enjoy in Denver, that they can't even be limited to one website. There are two great things, in particular that Denver has going for it (us?) One is Denver International Airport. Being centrally located, DIA puts Denver four hours from anywhere - making our city an ideal destination not only for tourists but for the crowd that supports the Number Two Thing, the Colorado Convention Center - which is blessed with a host of eminities, including 8,000 hotel rooms within walking distance, and countless dining options - oh and shopping, and a view of the Rocky Mountains.

With so much perfection, you'd think the city almost promotes itself. What it really means is, Visit Denver has a lot to keep track of.

For more on all the great events and attractions, listen to this week's Driving Force Radio, Saturday morning at 10:00 on KNUS 710.
