Bowie House
Crescent (comes with access to very nice Canyon Ranch Spa)
Hotel Dryce
Drover

Anything downtown is pretty similar/forgettable, and typically reasonably priced unless there is a major convention in town. I'd stay at Crescent and be walkable to amazing bars and restaurants.
Sorry thought this was the 2025 thread
I'm writing this reply from a condo in Steamboat, on a family trip with a 4 and 3 year old. Torian Plum condos right at the base were great. Pool, etc.

HEED THIS ADVICE - WAIT UNTIL LATE SEASON TO GO. We froze, they were miserable. Ski school turned into daycare and they stayed inside the whole time due to temperatures. Wife and I both have the flu. It was not a great time for brining young kids. Book late March when it is much sunnier and warmer. The kids will enjoy it much more and have more opportunity to be outside.

ETA - also has direct flights from DFW which we booked for under $300/each. It is very easy to get in and out of.
Thanks for the responses. We booked with Roger. Private van and should be dependable. Car seats. $440 rather than $600. Seems to be best of an expensive proposition.
Thank you. Not huge savings, but $440 beats $600. Cheers!
Shuttles appear to be $60/pp each way from airport to ski area. Has anyone found a cheaper option? Taking 3 adults and 2 kids (both should be using car seats). Seems expensive to pay $600 to get to and from the airport 30 minutes away. Hoping someone here has solved this problem already.

Yes I grew up hunting the area. Shongaloo has some good deer, especially along dorcheat creek, but they get a lot of pressure. Lots of hunters in the area. Maybe you’ve got a nice honey hole and it works out. Just try for a year and see. I’ve seen some nice bucks come out from around there and Leton. Even on public land.

I hunted more toward the east side of Springhill and it was pretty brutal to manage deer on less than 500 acres. If it had antlers it was getting shot at by neighbors. Couldn’t get shite going on our 80 acres. Now hunting east and central Texas, I laugh thinking about how hard I hunted Webster parish just to see spikes and does every third hunt. It was a beating but gave me patience.

re: The Fox panel is just awful

I just said this same thing to my wife. Back over to CNN. Would rather be watching Fox but that panel is miserable.

Plenty of discussion surrounding the north Louisiana country music scene in the 60s and 70s, as well as Tracy's breakthrough in the early 90s.

I’ve not been to Bluejack National, but hear good things. Hoping this development gets off the ground and is awesome.
That cotton bowl versus the Aggies was fun. TT had a great game. He was largely responsible for at least a couple wins, so that’s more than most who come through the program can say.

Fair enough. I tend to spend most of my time at Aria casino when staying at Park MGM anyway, as it is so close.

Interested in what disappointed you with Park MGM. Understandable if you were holding it to the same standards as Venetian and higher tier hotels, but for its mid-tier status, I think it does well. Good price, location, non-smoking, relatively clean rooms, a couple of the better restaurants in the vicinity. I'm confused by those that give higher marks to NYNY than Park MGM. Maybe I am higher on it because I don't spend a ton of time there during the day, but use it more as a quiet place to return and wind down at night.
$200/each range. Probably not interesting to you but I have two in section 412 that I can use toward a trade. We’re two alumni and big fans, if you’re concerned who you’d be sitting with.
Hope you can sell em but I’m lurking if you end up dropping the price significantly. We have tickets but looking to buy lower bowl.
Any interest in a trade? I send you 2 in Section 412, and I buy your 144 pair for $130/ticket?
