St. Louis, Missouri
Meet me down in St. Louis, baby. The Gateway to the West has long offered visitors a nice little mix of both relaxed cosmopolitan style and traditional Midwestern flavor, which, by the way, can be drunk up and thoroughly enjoyed for no cost via a tour of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery.
As the largest city in the Great Plains, the aesthetically beautiful and green space-filled hotspot is the spot for beer, bowling, baseball, and the jamming to the music of Tina Turner, Miles Davis, and Chuck Berry, who all got their start there. Last minute room rates start at around $70.
