“Everything’s Bigger in Texas” – a popular phrase for referring to the Lone Star state; there’s even a song about it. Big hats, big hair, big steaks, big rodeos and bulls are just some of the big sights you’ll see in Texas. However, the state has a lot to offer for travelers and residents alike. Three of the U.S most visited cities are located within it. Yet when you think of Texas, everything you associate with the state can be found in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Even though the two cities are often placed together as DFW, there’s no way you’ll be able to tackle them both in one trip - unless it’s a very long stay. So make Dallas your first stop. Sports fanatics will have to see the Dallas Cowboys. History buffs and art lovers should tour the city’s museums. Strolling through the city’s center will be filled with so many great attractions, and the best part is, you’ll be able to bring the whole family!
There are many affordable and cheap hotels in Dallas that offer big amenities. You’ll definitely get a lot of ‘bang for your buck.’ Driving is a common thing in Dallas, since Texans do enjoy their big trucks. So if you’re up to it, you should consider renting a vehicle and staying at a hotel like the, Best Western Plus Dallas Hotel. This cheap hotel is also eco-friendly. It features its own restaurant, bar and lounge. It’s further away from the city’s downtown area, but near the freeway. Parking is available on site, for free. Another nice, cheap hotel option is the, Candlewood Suites Dallas Hotel. If you’re traveling with your pets, this is also the hotel for you. It’s about 5 miles away from the city center, but extremely close to the airport. So you have easy access to both. There is also free parking on site. This hotel also offers fully equipped, in-suite style apartments; for those needing long-term accommodations.
Of course there are luxury hotels, for those who can afford a higher price point. One option is, The Magnolia Hotel Dallas. This luxury hotel is located in the heart of downtown. The average price is over $200 a night and it’s filled with lots of amenities. There’s a free breakfast buffet, a complimentary drink reception and a bed-time milk and cookies buffet! There’s a 24-hour fitness room with a hot tub and steam room. The hotel is also close to Dallas’ main attractions and there’s a Neiman Marcus right next door. The hotel also offers loft-like extended-stay suites that feature full kitchens, separate bedrooms and a living room.
For those of you who are feeling brave, you can also stay in one of Dallas’ famous haunted hotels. The Adolphus, is a luxury hotel in the heart of downtown. Built in 1912, this hotel is also a historic site in the city and features grand architecture. However, if you stay here, you’ll not only be getting luxurious comfort, you’ll also be experiencing one of the most haunted hotels in the city. Supposedly, a jilted bride roams the halls and a poltergeist enjoys rearranging beer bottles and glasses on the bar. Yet customers of this hotel have said that’s not the creepiest part. The 19th floor is the most haunted. People have said they’ve felt as if they were being watched, and some have reported to being tapped on the shoulder by an unknown presence. At night, random big-band music will also start blaring through the halls. Regardless of all of this though, people continue to stay here, because the hotel is a site to see. Another haunted option, for those of you who don’t want a traditional hotel stay, is The Corinthian. This romantic bed and breakfast was built in 1905. Originally the home for a professor at the University of Dallas, the two-storied building eventually became a women’s boarding house. In 2001, it was purchased and revamped into the quaint, antique and Victorian styled B&B that’s enjoyed by all – including the supernatural guest that are supposedly still living there. It’s still near the city center, only being a mile away from downtown.
The first stop you should make on your Dallas trip is a visit to the Geo-Deck at Reunion Tower. From here, you’ll get a bird’s-eye view of downtown Dallas and farther out. It’s one of the best places to see the city’s main attractions from above. The circular deck has inside and outside viewing areas, for your pleasure. Any local will tell you that you can’t make a trip to the city without visiting AT&T Stadium – home to the Dallas Cowboys. On a clear and sunny day you can see the stadium from the Geo-Deck, and that’s an indication for how big the stadium is; 3 million square feet, to be exact. Texans do love their football. Check out the world-class art that decorates the stadium, take a tour of the field and of course, see a game!
