Go Texan!
The Inn at
Dos Brisas Wrangles Up Reasonable Offerings
with a Texas- Sized Rodeo Package
March 3 – 22, 2009
In the 1950s,
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ coined the
phrase, “Go Texan” in honor of the annual
celebration of Western heritage that has brought
Texans together since the rodeo event was first
held in the 1930s. This year, the exclusive
retreat, The Inn at Dos Brisas, situated just
outside of Houston, wants guests to “Go Texan”
with a luxury deal of a lifetime! The Inn will
feature a special weekday and weekend packages
throughout the rodeo, March 3-22, 2009, which
allows the Inn at Dos Brisas’ guests to
experience the uniquely Texas lifestyle.
A special perk
with your stay at The Inn at Dos Brisas is that
you will enjoy the ultimate connection in action
packed seats. In Reliant Stadium, you will be
one of the select few in the luxury private sky
box – in true Texas style – feasting on good
ole’ Texas BBQ and other savory treats and
shaking hands or swapping tales with true
cowboys performing in the rodeo. But there’s
more to the rodeo than just bull riding and calf
roping. At night the rodeo lassoes the stars –
some of country music’s biggest names including
Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire, the Jonas Brothers,
ZZ Top, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts and rising
sensation, Taylor Swift, to the big stage to
give Texas sized concerts. Day two of the
package, guests really get to “Go Texan” when
they saddle up western style for horseback
riding with a professional wrangler in the two
acres indoor arena and along groomed trails at
The Inn at Dos Brisas.
