you might have already visited but if not you "must" go eat some good colorado food at a resturant called "The Fort" in morrison. (west of denver just at the foot of the mountains) they also offer helocopter rides to see the city/sights. another good food place is "the brown palace" in the city. A nice side trip to Rocky Mountain Nat. Park, which is 45-60 min north. you could even stay in the "stanley" hotel from "the shinning" in Estes Park. Hot springs are always good. the 16th street mall is fun to walk around and have good stuff to buy. A little gambling perhaps in blackhawk or one of the other 2 mountain towns that permits gambling.
those are the biggies, if you will, but there are plenty of other sites in my beautiful state. have fun.

Red Rocks Amphitheater, just a little west of town. awesome.. If you have time, take the tram ride to the top of Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs about 50 miles south of Denver. I think the cool new Art Museum is open now.Lots to see depending on how much time you have.

I from Denver. You must go to the 16th street mall, the mountains, just go walking around downtown. Also M&D has great food. Here's the link to check it out.
