Holiday Inn Select Dallas-Love Field, Dallas

Advantages: Very exciting, rich and entertaining city
Disadvantages: Can get expensive

...shape. North Dallas is the more upmarket side of town, while south Dallas is covered by a ‘dry area’ law which tells you enough about the area. No alcoholic drinks can be sold there. This is an area best avoided really. I played golf down there once, and will never forget walking into a McDonalds. It was just like walking into a Wild West bar, everyone went silent. I just ordered and got the hell out of there as quickly as possible fearing a cowboy boot in my arse!!! In terms of scenery there isn’t much. It’s very flat, and basically semi-desert. I was surprised at how much greenery there was though, but that’s due to there being sprinklers on 24/7. WEATHER Texas is well known for its heat.

Disadvantages: Uhmn...I used to live there.

If you don't want to stand around and watch the country singers, you can go ride the mechanical bull for a nominal fee.

If you have the choice, I suggest you land at Dallas Love Field. Its... Read review

Advantages: Loads of attractions, 5th Floor Museum, cafes, restaurants, sporting venues, shopping, skyscrapers
Disadvantages: None at all!

...I visited Dallas in November 1997, as my uncle and auntie live there. It's a brilliant city, a traditional, American city with an amazing downtown with millions of incredibly tall skyscrapers, which look incredible both in the heat of the day and at night. One of the best attractions in Dallas is the 5th Floor Museum. This is the exact site from where the US President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated.
