Both deals feature deluxe accommodations, complimentary breakfast for two and shuttle service to and from the light rail station as well as businesses and restaurants within a 5 mile radius.

Complimentary high-speed Internet access (a $12.95 daily savings) is an additional perk that comes with Weekends in Tech Center, available from $99 per night with a required two-night minimum and Friday or Saturday stay.

Mid- to late April marks the average date for the final snowfall in Denver. Vacationers can head to the slopes of Echo Mountain, Loveland, Winter Park, Eldora, Winter Park, Arapahoe Basin or other destinations to take in the natural beauty of the region while skiing, snowboarding or taking lessons from a number of professional instructors. Each resort is within 100 miles or so of Denver and offers a plethora of amenities and services to fit the lifestyles of all guests.

April 5 celebrates the start of the 20th season for the Colorado Rockies. Coors Field welcomes the team and its fans with plenty of special giveaways such as magnet schedules, Rockies t-shirts, commemorative photos, bobble heads and lunch cooler bags.
