Where should we go? Between MO and CA

My best friend and I want to meet somewhere between where we live (St. Louis and NoCal) for a 5ish day girls trip. Looking for somewhere not too out of the way to fly and that isn't going to be over the top expensive (think $100-125 a night max for a hotel or condo). We are looking to be able to be in nature and or sit by the pool. We're not partiers. We thought about Vegas for the sights and to go visit the Hoover Dam etc.. I've always wanted to see Cirque.Also have thought about Santa Fe/Albuquerque. ANy other suggestions? Thanks!

Re: Where should we go? Between MO and CA

  • What time of the year would you be going?
    Vacation
  • Oh, sorry, this is for summertime! Probably July.

  • How about Denver? Being from STL (I lived there for 5 years while DH went to SLU Law), Denver has a good craft beer scene, but not necessarily a party scene. And score bonus! The last week of July/first week of August, the Cards are at the Rockies so you can catch a game - Coors Field is downtown near the light rail so it's easy to get to.
    I swim because I'm too damned sexy for a sport that requires real clothing.

    For what it's worth - I don't drink or gamble, and I LOVE Vegas Smile I could spend a good amount of time there enjoying food and shows, and there are plenty of options for both. It will be dreadfully hot that time of year though. If the heat bothers you, it could be an issue.

    Second PPs suggestion of Denver, or another nice city in Colorado. Tahoe is also really beautiful that time of year, and has plenty of relaxing/outdoorsy activities available. I know it's not anywhere close to in the middle of MO and CA, but the Ca person could drive, and maybe pick up another cost to make up for the flight.

  • We've both been to CO before and were trying to figure out somewhere new to go. It is an awesome place though! Tahoe sounds fun. I know my cousin has been there many times. I'll have to look into that.
