Denver.....? My family and I are taking a weeks vacation in Denver over the 4th of July. We are on a limited budget and are trying to find loding that will be $300 or less for the week. I've looked at area hotels and if we want one that's SAFE and CLEAN, we can't touch it for under $450. Thought about taking our motor home, but SAFE and CLEAN RV Parks in the Denver area are few and far between. So, I've condsidered renting a condo/apt/home that someone uses as a vacation home. Checked out a few of those online, and not much luck. Anyone have any suggestions for affordable lodging accomodations? We've received really low rates on hotels in Denver when going for medical reasons, but the hotel I wanted to stay at requires a letter from the hospital. Anyone know of any other discounts we may be able to get? We are not to picky, but I do rely on reviews from tripadvisor.com before making a decision. HELP.... we leave this Saturday. Serious answers only please.

What are the safest neighbourhoods in Denver to move to? I am likely moving to Denver in the fall, and am not at all familiar with the best areas to live.

Would it be better to just go to Boulder instead of Denver itself?
How to buy a gun in Denver from a private seller? It seems that the most obvious avenues for buying guns from private sellers (The Denver Post classifieds, and Craigslist) does not allow guns to be sold. In other words, gun ads are prohibited. Surely there are a lot of people who are interested in selling handguns in Colorado, but how do I find them? I am not interested in any type of retail operation where I have to pay sales tax and jump through all the hoops. Buying guns in Colorado from private sellers is legal. Finding the sellers seems to be the hard part. Thanks.

What Denver restaurants (besides Hooters) have the cutest waitresses? UPDATE: To clarify, I wasn't referring to the waitress's boobs or what they are wearing, just the general question of what restaurants have cute waitresses? I don't care if they're dressed casually or wearing a uniform or whatever. Besides the emphasis on boobs, the girls at Hooters are generally prettier/cuter than waitresses at other restuarants, in Denver. In other cities such as LA or Atlanta or Orlando, there are cute waitresses everywhere. That doesn't seem to be the case in Denver. And no, no fetish, they're just easier to date than women in clubs, etc. Saves a lot of time. But not when you can't find any. And Hooters waitresses are just hit on so much they're almost impossible to date, not worth the huge amount of additional effort to get their attention (I am medium-good-looking so women don't drop at my feet, unfortunately). Thanks for the answers!
