The joke is if you survive the food, it's like the Mexican food Disneyland. For $15 you get an all-you-can-eat dining experience (actually, the sopapillas are great) and entertainment which is second to none: vingette performances compete with cliff-diving, a rip through Black bart's Cave, and arcade, etc. It's a Denver icon.

This is the bar where Jack Kerouac hung out a pontificated his next moves. You'll have to have a keen eye, or Google Earth to spot it, no signs or fanfare. Get the Johnny Burger.

Sightseeing

It's Red Rocks. You'd be lucky to see a show there in the summer. In the meantime, run the stairs, hike the trails, visit the museum.
