Dallas Visitor Information

Dallas is one of the top visitor destinations in Texas.  And from Texas Stadium to downtown, the Omni Mandalay Hotel at Las Colinas put you near everything.  Dallas is a major center for entertainment – from sports and music to the arts. With an excellent symphony orchestra, visiting opera, ballet and theatre groups and major league sporting teams, adults and families alike will find an array of activities any day or night.

For the fashion conscious, Dallas is a shopping mecca.  Whether it’s upscale shopping at the Galleria and the Shops at Willow Bend, or outlet shopping at Grapevine Mills, you’re sure to find the perfect “souvenir.”  There’s so much to check out in Big D, you may need to extend your stay.
