The cities of Dallas and Fort Worth Texas make up one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States. It is a great place to spend a few days, either as a tourist or a business traveler. (Well, you cant work all the time can you?) There is a wealth of things to do in the area, starting with great restaurants (particularly barbecue and Tex-Mex) and of course there's a great night life with plenty of clubs, saloons, and bars. The cities also boast an incredible range of professional and collegiate sports venues such as the Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, NASCAR, or the Cotton Bowl to name just a few.
One of the best amusement parks in the world is here too, Six Flags Over Texas with its towering coasters, like the renowned Texas Giant and the awesome hypercoaster Titan. For hot summer days (some call it sub-tropical) the Hurricane Harbor water park is outstanding. There are also great zoos in Dallas and Fort Worth, a number of historic neighborhoods to explore, and numerous art, history, and natural science museums.

	For great views of the Dallas Fort Worth skyline, a trip up the Reunion Tower is in order. There are three levels in the dome at the top of the tower. At the highest level youll find The Dome, a great relaxing cocktail lounge with evening entertainment. Antares, a full service contemporary restaurant is on the second level, and the observation deck is on the first level. There is a nominal admission fee for the observation deck. The restaurant and lounge are both on slowly revolving floors.
