    My wife and I are going. We plan on staying In a cabin in the mountains. There are tons of hotels in the Denver area all within an hour or less drive. The hotels close will fill up fast, but I have always felt on site hotels are just too busy and you can't really relax.

    Meh, not that much. The entry ticket is more but with name your own price done within the week-2 weeks before it starts I will save more on the plane ticket and hotel than the extra I pay for the entrance fee.

    Wow you must have magic fingers. I never find deals on air fare or cheap hotels in the Denver area. I have been going to Colorado my whole life. We need to talk man

    KP, out of Des Moines you can fly pretty cheap to Denver. United has a lot of staff out of Des Moines that flies to Denver for work so the flights are pretty competitive out of here.

    I've gotten round trip flights for 200-300 there before probably half a dozen times. The downside is you often have to arrive at very late times by letting it pick the flight time when you make the bid. I was in a relationship with someone living there, and I guess love finds a way haha.
