phil_vd. You have a slight problem. You posted this on the Manhattan,Kansas forum instead of the Manhattan area of New York city.

A travel guide to where? If you are planning a trip to Dodge City, call the Dodge City Visitors Bureau, they will send out a Visitors packet with Dodge City attractions and such. I got the phone number through a phone search on msn.com. Other cities look for Vistitors Bureaus or Chamber of Commerce offices for tourist info.

wish to visit

Go to www.travelks.com. This should provide you with the information you need.

Anyone wanting information can contact the Dodge City Convention and Visitor%26#39;s bureau at 1-800-OLD-WEST! You can also visit one of a couple of websites.

Lively hotels?

My sister and I will be coming to KC in May for a weekend. We%26#39;d like to stay at a hotel either w/i walking distance from bars/restaurants or stay at a hotel with a bar or club. We%26#39;re both in our 30%26#39;s and would prefer to keep it under $200 nightly. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Lively hotels?

You%26#39;ll want to stay at or near the Country Club Plaza and Westport. There is a Hampton Inn and an Embassy Suites located between the Plaza and Westport so you can explore both areas.

Lively hotels?

I would agree with the first person that states you will want to stay near the Country Club Plaza area. This is a good mix of food/entertainment and shopping all within a short walk. If you are looking for something a little nicer with more attitude try The Raphael or The Fairmont as you can get some good weekend package deals that might work out for you.

Absolutely, stay on the Plaza! $200 will get you a nice place either Chain -- Mariott or Boutique type hotel, Raphael. As to the Westport area, I would exhaust yourself at the Plaza before thinking about Westport, it isn%26#39;t what it used to be.

There is also a Sheraton Suites on the Plaza. It is towards the west end of it...but everything is within walking distance.

I%26#39;ve stayed at the Sheraton and Raphael, both are excellent but quite different. The Raphael is lovely, ask for a Plaza view, and perhaps take cocktails over the road at the Fairmont (now the Intercontinental!) piano bar before strolling over the bridge to the Plaza and the many restaurants and bars there... great ribs at Houstons!!!

traveling through Kansas in June in a popup...

Going from Ga to Colorado and plan to drive through Kansas. Any suggestions-Not on a schedule. Just sightseeing

traveling through Kansas in June in a popup...

dianne, If you could let me know what highway you are planning on taking into Kansas I could give you some info on some of the more scenic areas of east central and south central Kansas. I know this state has a reputation for being flat,and parts of it are, but there are other areas that most people find picturesque and interesting.

traveling through Kansas in June in a popup...

I would recommend the flint hills and the konza prairie. Really an amazingly beautiful part of Kansas... near Manhattan, KS.

Dianne,

Our family stayed at Wilson Lake State Park off I-70 in October in our camper. It was a scenic area and quite pretty. I don%26#39;t know when you are traveling, but the park was nearly empty near the end of October. We had the area we chose completely to ourselves.

I live in Wilson, next ot Wilson Lake just off of I-70. It is not to crowded the first to middle of June but towards the end the 4th of July people start pilling in pretty early to get the good camping spots. The lake is pretty low right now, not much moisture here lately but it is still beautiful. There is a nice scenic route you can take around the back of the lake and through the hills. Along that route I think you can see the Garden of Eden in Lucas, The Oil Museums in Russell, There is a railway museum in Ellis, The Cathederal of the Plains in Victoria and of course a stop in Wilson, the Czech Capital of Kansas, is a must. We have a local store that makes out of this world homemade sausage of every type. Enjoy your trip and enjoy Kansas.

Depending on your intresest, great stops in Kansas include the Chalk Pyramids, the Grassroots Art Center , and the Kansas Cosmosphere.

http://www.kansastravel.org has the details on all three of those, and other fun stops.

Visit Manhattan KS -- the Kansas State campus and eat dinner at the Four Olives restaurant.

Looking for a Nice Downtown Hotel

We will be in Wichita soon and need a nice place to stay. Our son is performing with Music Theater Wichita at the Century II Convention Center, so need somewhere relatively close. It does not need to be overly fancy, but clean and comfortable. Anything we ';must'; see while there? Thanks so much!

Looking for a Nice Downtown Hotel

OhioDreamer,---Hi, There are two hotels within a very short walk of Century II . From the front door of either hotel to the door of the convention center should only be about five minutes.

The Broadview which is an older hotel but has been updated recently. It is listed as a three star. www.broadviewradisson.com. The other is a Hyatt www.hyatt.wichita.com. Needless to say it is a much nicer hotel but will also cost $ 50-60 a night more. There is one more hotel downtown but it is a few blocks away and is new and extremely nice.

www.hotelatoldtown.com. There is also a newly remodeled Holiday Inn only a few blocks away. So you have quite a few choices.

As for things to see . There is Wichita Botanica and Cowtown which are only about a mile from downtown. Botanica is a nice shady spot

www.botanica.org with many flowers and butterflies,cowtown is original buildings from when Wichita was a cattle town and the Texas trail herds were driven here to the rail head.

We also have a excellent zoo for a town of this size. If you go this time of the year go early as it is usually very hot here in July.

My wife and daughter are big fans of Music Theatre. They have season tickets and just saw ';The Full Monty'; yesterday. Is your son

in the production of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers?

If you have any more questions you can e-mail me direct at patrickh@donegal.net

Looking for a Nice Downtown Hotel

You have an excellent zoo for a city of any size.

In addition to the places that Pat mentions, the entire Old Town entertainment area is good. The museum of World Treasures is a hoot!

Wichita Nightlife...professional crowd??

Myself and several colleges are in wichita for the next two weeks. We are looking for bars / lounges that cater to a bit more to the professional crowd.

Not that I have anything against a red solo cup and keg, just looking for something with a touch of class. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

Wichita Nightlife...professional crowd??

You might try some of the bars in the Old Town area. If that doesn%26#39;t work out ask at your hotel. The Scotch and Sirloin on East Kellogg is a nice restaurant/bar but the clientel may be older than what you are looking for.

Wichita Nightlife...professional crowd??

There is a relatively new bar that I know nothing about that may be worth a try. It is O%26#39;Brien%26#39;s Irish Pub in the 5200 block of East Kellogg. The chances of it having anything Irish except the name are very slim but it could be what you are looking for.
