If you route from Denver through Kansas, you can stay here free of charge to sleep if you want!

Okay, some off the cuff thoughts....

In San Antonio, check out the Riverwalk, which is a bunch of shops and restaurants and bars around the river in downtown. On the Riverwalk is a BBQ place that Bobo and I went to--County Line BBQ--it was excellent, and they had an all-you-can-eat dead animal fest (it really is obscene). There's also a nice gay, um, sauna. (Yeah, that's the term.)

New Orleans obviously has its casinos, and its sleaze pits. At that time of night, you still might find some action at Rawhide, a gay bear/leather bar--everyone should experience the chaos at least once. There are more restaurants than you can believe--I love Ralph and Kacoo's, and adore the Gumbo Shop. If you are into Blue Dog art, George Rodrigue's studio is right there in town. Also a seedy but very enjoyable gay, um, sauna.

In St. Louis, hit Ted Drewe's--it is some of the best custard in the world (get a Concrete). Used to drink my ass off at Lacleade's Landing.
