The largest state in the US has a lot of unique and interesting places to stay and if you are from out of town, get ready to be treated with some good old "long horn" hospitality! The sheer size of Texas is overwhelming. It is actually larger than some small countries. Texas Hotels are not small either, the Sheraton sitting in downtown Dallas houses almost 2,000 rooms and stands as high as the eye can see.

There is so much to do in Texas you really need to take the time to plan your trip out well if you are going to visit multiple towns. The drive from city to city can consume so much time, you need to make sure that you have enough time planned for your travels. Many travelers find it more efficient to plan the majority of their sightseeing and entertainment in one area of Texas. The Dallas/Fort Worth area seems to be one of the most popular tourist destinations. This area offers everything that most visitors are interested in. With many sports arenas, live entertainment opportunities and theaters and some amazing dining experiences, you may never have to leave the city to get your fill of Texas living here.

For music fans, you may be more interested in a visit to the Austin, Texas area. This is the home of the famous "Austin City Limits" music hall. You may have seen performances here from accomplished musicians like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Ben Harper and John Prine on TV, but now you can attend a live show. This is one of the most sought after arenas for contemporary recording artists of our time. Austin has some strong roots in the music industry and has many local spots to hear some of that good old Texas style blues and Rock and Roll.

For entertainment on the water, Texas has a lot to offer too. There are more miles of shoreline on Texas than almost any other state in the country. So if you are looking for an aquatic experience, you will have no problem finding one in this great state. From boat rides, rentals and cruises to world class scuba diving experiences, Texas has got you covered. If you are looking for a place to start your Texan water front getaway, you may want to check into a hotel in Galveston, TX or Corpus Christi.

So enjoy your stay in the state where everything is super-sized! If you are a NFL fan, you may want to plan your stay around a Dallas Cowboys game to get the most out of your time here. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation, just find a nice hotel and you can just hole up and be pampered too.
