Vacancies Scarce in the Denver/Front Range Area For July 2024

It has one of the biggest economic impact events on Colorado, and yet not everybody knows that it happens. That is, unless you may have wanted to book a room; then you find out, quickly.

Maybe you have friends/family coming to town for the 4th of July holiday, and are finding that getting a room nearby, is just about impossible.

If this event gets much bigger, finding a room within 200 miles of where you want to be, may be hard.

It's got to be very frustrating to want to visit an area only to find that you cannot book a room anywhere nearby. You've set money aside for the trip, you've taken the vacation days from work, you're ready to find a place to stay; but, no.

Not only do hotel rooms get booked up, but finding a seat at local restaurants is a challenge during the tournaments sessions.
