First of all, there's the award-winning Adam's Mystery Playhouse which was named the best dinner theater in 2010. Denver Daily News said that the actors were amazing at improvising their act and did well when interacting with the crowd. It sure sounds like something fun that we can all do when going out in a group. Throughout the month of April 2011, they'll be celebrating their success with Customer Appreciation Fridays whereby you get the first ticket for regular price and then the second one at half the price.
Another notable dinner theater is Clannie's Clocktower Cabaret. It is said to produce some of the best stuff both on stage and from the kitchen.
Make the most of your time there with a charter bus or a party bus. US Coachways is a Denver charter bus rental company that you can count on to deliver on time, as promised, at an incredibly affordable price.

For those who have made use of bus
charter services for large events before, deciding on a company
should be a breeze. However, for those who have never dug into the
task before, it's going to take you some time to work out the
priorities.
Here are a couple of tips to help you along.
Price it right. Of course, when there is a budget, we naturally have to take into consideration the price of the bus charter package. But bear in mind, it is not the ONLY thing to consider. Basing your decision solely on the price of the package might bring you unwanted results. Balance your priorities right. Is this a reputable bus charter rental company? Do they have the bus that you want? Is there a picture of the bus in their website and if there isn't one, are they willing to show you the bus that you are eventually going to use.
If the bus charter company refuses to show you the bus before you board, then it tells you a whole lot about their commitment to your satisfaction.
Prompt customer service. In order for the charter bus company to deliver as promised and give you a satisfied experience, they need to employ people who are not only professional in dealing with customers and potential customers, the customer service reps need to be patient in explaining the finer details to you and be knowledgeable.
Check if the company have a website, an online social networking account, adequate phone lines to cater to large volume of phone calls, email and also fax for you to reach them.
It is crucial for the times when you need to change your bookings or clarify some issues.
Large fleet of bus charter vehicles. Imagine if you booked up an 18-passenger charter bus for a large event and as the event inched closer, you realized that there was a miscalculation and you need a 24-passenger bus and the bus company does not have one and is not able to provide you with the vehicle. What would you do?
Hence, pick a bus charter company that has a large fleet of buses so that you get multiple options. If unsure about the type of vehicle to book, ask the sales consultant. Most large bus companies have trained professionals to deal with people who are unsure or unable to decide.
Here's to your successful event and pleasant experience organizing a large event.
The method remains pretty much the same, but the technology most definitely have not. It has changed to make the vinyl extremely lasting, the colors more vibrant and yet not tough enough to hinder vision and emergency exits on the bus.
Traditionally, the bus wrapping vinyl is placed along the side panel of the bus. With additional space in the back of the bus, bus wrap was soon also placed on the back of the bus. As soon as authorities approved it, people began placing the ad on the front of the bus too. But it is to be noted that authorities are strict about hindering emergency. For instance, in moments of emergency when passengers need to alight the vehicle through the window, the bus wrap vinyl should not hinder efforts to break the window if the advertisement covers the entire body of the bus.

We all know how charming San Diego can be but do you know that there are many hidden gems in the beautiful sunny city? One of our regular San Diego charter bus rental customers suggested visiting a quaint and unfortunately quite forgotten gem called The Ken Cinema.
What can you expect from taking the rented charter bus to The Ken Cinema? Well, don't expect a large stadium-sized cinema, that's for sure. And also forget about the loud surround sound system. What you can expect is basically an old-school movie-watching experience. The new generation do not know what it is like to watch a good ole movie in a good ole cinema without all the fan-fare, heater or air-conditioner, surround sound system and 3D graphics.
The Ken Cinema shows popular independent films by both foreign and local film makers. In fact, they also show some really good classics too. The cinema was built way back in the mid 1940's. So, what makes this a must-see? Well, for one, it is one of the last few single cinemas in the city AND it is known to show really fabulous art house films.
If you are going in a group, be sure to give US Coachways a call by dialing 1-877-873-1838 for a San Diego charter bus rental package.

As Valentine's day creeps up (time flies, really) on us, it is the time of the year to sit down and think about what to do with your loved ones. Valentine's day can be celebrated by everyone, not just the married and unmarried couples. Singles can have a smashing good time too...especially if you are in Atlanta GA. What one of our Atlanta GA charter bus rental customers did shows us that singles can have fun too...albeit with a little bit more planning.
What she did was organize her own singles Valentines party...in a party bus that she rented from US Coachways. And this year, it could be just the thing for you too if you are single. With the rented charter bus, you do not have to worry about driving or having too much fun, so go get them!

It is happening Feb 12, 2011 at the Gold Room and sponsored by Coors Light and Bacardi so you know you've got your drinks covered. If you do not fancy heading over in a large charter bus, do it in style with a limo. US Coachways' limousine division can help you with that.
Alternatively, you can also join in with the crowds at Cupid's Prey Party and we heard that it is always such a riot there! This year's Cupid Prey is happening at CosmoLava and we think you, our loyal Atlanta GA charter bus rental customers, are going to have such a smashing good time. What's going to be happening there? Well, basically, there's going to be a game going on. As you enter the premise, girls will be handed a lock and guys will be handed a key. The point of all this is to get everyone mingling around trying to find the right match!
And that's for the singles.
For couples, we have a couple of fantastic ideas for you too. How about some Mexican food to tantalize the taste buds and fan the flame of passion in your life? A little far-fetches but you are going to absolutely love the ambiance at Nuevo Laredo because we have heard so many amazing stories about the mouth-watering grub there.
Need a suggestion that is more romantic? How about this romantic restaurant called Ecco located midtown? They have an impressive list of wine, a long list of gorgeously delicious dishes and homemade pastas.

We're sure you can come up with your own itinerary with a simple web search but in this blog post, allow us to share our experience with you about one of our Orlando bus charter group trips.
For antique furniture lovers, you MUST bring the charter bus around to Orange Avenue and Mount Dora which are famous for their antique shops. Well, even if you're not game for lugging home some big furniture, it is still fun to do window shopping. Remember, window-shopping is almost as therapeutic as shopping itself. Remember to ask the owners of the shops if they could arrange for delivery to your home. You're in luck if they do!
Wine lovers, in the meantime, is going to love the wines at Lakeridge Winery where most famous wines can be sampled and bought and the good news is that they're open seven days a week. There's, of course, the obligatory view of the wine-making process at the beginning of the tour but after that, you are treated with an amazing view, bottles upon bottles of delicious bud-teasing wines, especially their award-winning ones.

There seems to be a general misconception about eating out and partying at the heart of Washington DC – if you want good food and drinks, you've got to pay a hefty price for it.
The truth is that if we are merely paying more for the ambiance. To have good food, on the other hand, there's always the booming middle-way eat-out spots. This is a season to be merry and eat well, hence, based on some recommendations by our Washington DC charter bus rental customers, here are some awesome choices to add to your eat-out wish list.
We've heard really good things about Ray's the Steaks along East River. Well, it isn't anything more than just a casual dining spot, not a steakhouse as the name suggests, but if there is one thing you can expect from this amazing Washington diner, it's mouth-watering delicacies at an affordable price. Trying to organize a romantic experience for your loved one? A good idea would be to get your hands on an affordable limousine and head out to Dupont Circle and dig into your favorite dish at Eola. It offers a charming, romantic and very intimate experience.
Or are you a health-conscious individual who is wishing more restaurants put more effort into picking the fresh ingredients, use traditional cooking methods and have an eye for detail when it comes to health? If so, then we think you are going to love this place called Ris along the West End of Washington DC! You've just got to order their mussels with chorizo and the conventional (yet tastes out of this world) cheeseburger. You can literally taste the freshness with every bite. What we felt was that the recipes are age-old while the ambiance extremely comfy and warm. Perfect for family gatherings, in all honesty.
Although the lines are long at Ray's Hell-Burger Too, the wait is more than worthwhile. Sink your teeth into their deliciously sinful The Big Punisher (it packs a mean spiced out punch, this burger) when it comes to taste. Nothing beats downing a glass of your favorite beer or wine from their extensive list of beverages after dinner. It's all about good food at an affordable pricing so don't expect fancy fanfare when it comes to decor.
Hope this list of wonderful restaurants widens the choices that you have whenever you want to pick a nice restaurant to eat at with your family and friends. Here's to your amazing celebration this coming new year!

I wasn't much of a fan when it comes to art mainly because I believe that you need to be able to see things from different perspective, be inquisitive about what was going on in the artists' minds at the point of each stroke and every splatter of paint. My mind was changed after renting a charter bus and hitting the Connecticut Art Trail.
Unenthusiastically, I (doubtlessly) had to be persuaded to go on the trail. Little did I know that what I was about to embark on would turn out to be one of the most amazing artistic journeys of my life. The Connecticut Art Trail is a nationally-known partnership (not to me, obviously) between fifteen museums and historical sites in CT. They have all come together, put their ideas together and now offer tourists from afar and holiday merry-makers alike a day-long excursion of immersing in the arts.
In all honestly, who could blame all the artists and impressionist for coming to Connecticut for inspiration. The awesome rolling hills, bended valleys, plush forests and magnetic shoreline – this is where you find young people sitting around in front of their canvases, feeling inspired by the unspoiled natural surrounding that local Connecticut dwellers love.
We were on the bus, going from one museum to another, excited to see what they had in store for us when a thought struck me – this should be the art center of the country! Sticking my head out of the window of the charter bus, I felt inspired too. The fresh air, amazing view out of the window, art-dummy me felt like painting too.
We visited a farm along the way but a very aesthetic one, museums and historical sites which helped us understand and learn more about Connecticut. Gosh, the people here are incredibly charming and laid-back about most things. You'd feel right at home too.
For most parts, it was the art studios which were amazing. But it had a lot to do with the culture too. Connecticut...is simply gorgeous!

Sacramento CA's got it good. Why? With all-year-round fantastic weather made perfect for traveling, outdoor activities, charter bus travels and....of course, hitting the wine trails, It makes for the perfect weekend getaway for wine lovers.
Since charter buses rental packages covers most parts of the country and across states, we decided to get our hands on Sacramento CA charter bus rental services to take us from New Jersey all the way to Sacramento. It really is better than flying – and much more affordable too! There was little doubt in our minds that Sacramento would be full of wonderful wineries, we just didn't know which ones to go to first.
Based on a recommendation from one of our friends who regularly organizes wine trails, we picked Bella Piazza Winery which is a winery tucked up in a charming corner of the city. When we looked out of the window, the first thing we saw was Sierra Foothills.
What a gorgeous sight!
From the concrete jungle of New Jersey to the naturally-beautiful Sierra Foothills – you've just got to love the feeling you get when you feel transported to another place...or time.
It was a very European feel, in all honesty. After all, it's Shenandoah Valley. There's another winery close by, a sister winery, called Villa Toscano. The view was astonishing, the wine was good, service was superb and of course, we had a splendid time in the Tasting Room where regular wine tasting is organized. Accordingly, Bella Piazza is one of the few wineries in the country to ever come up with a premium wine label known as Montepulciano.
A wedding here at Bella Piazza? We reckon it is possible because as we looked around, we saw that the winery came with its own Event Center and on the business card, the word 'catering' was printed boldly. Well, the event center seems like a nice choice for business events and corporate functions too.
Right before the sun set, each of us grabbed a glass of our preferred wine and sat outside on the lawn. Slowly, we sipped, chatted and waited for the egg-yolk-like sun to sink down behind the hills.
Now, THAT, is the perfect end to the most amazing day we've ever had.
By the way, please do follow us on Twitter. We share lots of wonderful quotes, announcements, links, news and everything fun with our followers. A quick 'like' on our Facebook page would be nice too!

Ever tried lawn bowling? Ever tried drinking while lawn bowling? Well, maybe it is time to experience this if you are visiting Minneapolis. We have heard of this drinking hole called Brit's Pub before heading over, thanks to the internet, but it wasn't much of an attraction to me, honestly speaking because it sounded like one of those places where you don't get to see much else other than darkened rooms and loud chatter.
However, during one of our traipsing trips with good ole reliable Minneapolis charter bus rental services, we decided to give this place a go. And what an awesome experience it was!
This pub started off modestly with only a couple of roomful of space twenty years ago. Yes, 2010 is the 20th year that Brit's Pub has been open for business. Over the years, they added more to it and now, it comes with an amazing 10,000 square feet lawn bowling space called the English Garden Park.
Frankly, none of us knew much about lawn bowling but it was an enriching experience, indeed. Some of the locals were more than happy to give us some tips, as awkward as we looked. We gave them some really good laughs with our antics.
Well, if you are not into lawn bowling, you can sit around and enjoy the games at the Veranda Bar, sipping your drink, enjoying the breeze and watching those playing at the English Garden Park. The Veranda Bar overlooks the English Garden Park. It's gorgeous!
After a few lousy games of lawn bowling, we wanted to see more of the establishment, hence, we headed out to The Clubhouse which is quite a comfortable party lounge. Here, we saw younger people who enjoyed their drinks while catching up with their friends.
Honestly, we were expecting it to be some sort of exclusive British pub where only the English people were admitted in; that is totally not the case. As English as the pub is, the people are extremely warm, welcoming and friendly. We made quite a few new friends here, actually.
At the end of 2010, they'll be having their 20th anniversary celebration. So, if you are in Minneapolis during this time, stop by and have a few drinks. We think you will find yourself having a 'jolly good time'.
For those who are planning events like party bus pub crawls or large events, remember to give US Coachways a tinkle for reliable Minneapolis charter bus rental services. The number to call is 1-877-873-1838.
I never knew sailing could be quite so fun but out of the encouragement of my friends during a rental charter bus trip to Boston MA, I took the chance and decided to hop on board. The sailing center we went to is called Courageous Sailing Center which is located on the picturesque Charlestown Navy Yard. On top of learning how to sail during the rental charter bus trip in Boston MA, I had a splendid time watching families having their weekend fun and enjoy the amazing view of the Boston Harbor. Took lots of pictures too, of course. They have many different types of sailing lessons for people of different skill levels, so don’t worry about it if you’re a little nervous about taking on the lessons during your Boston MA rental charter bus trip.
