Major tourist attraction for the family. a Mexican restaurant and family entertainment destination located in Denver, Colorado. One of the nation's top ten roadside attractions, Casa Bonita has been delighting audiences for over 40 years. LOTS to see and do, including watching cliff divers plunging into a pool below a 30-ft waterfall, puppet show, strolling mariachi band, arcade. puppet show....
ITS A MUST.
Warning: IMO- not the most authentic food ... BUT the entertainment makes up for it. My person opinion.

Recently designated a National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service and Department of the Interior, the amphitheater is a top destination for Colorado residents and tourists from around the world. It’s just 15 miles from Denver and the Red Rocks Shuttle starts the experience with food and drink specials at the Thirsty Lion, offering round-trip options departing from Union Station. Shuttle riders can also be picked up at two Illegal Pete's locations in either Capitol Hill or on Pearl Street in Boulder. So make plans to see a concert, watch a film, hike, dine or geek out on history. We dare you not to fall for its rare beauty.

Entertainment venue located in the heart of Lower Downtown (LoDo) Denver. During the winter season, the Pepsi Center is used mostly for sporting events (NBA's Denver Nuggets and NHL's Colorado Avalanche), but during the spring, summer and fall, expect to find some of the biggest names in music gracing the stage. Just a few minutes' walk from downtown Denver, you can expect to enjoy good concession food, drinks aplenty or even a meal at one of three restaurants located inside the venue.
