Salt Lake City Travel Forum

What was the name of the restaurant in Trolley Square that gave free shrimp cocktail for an appetizer and is it still there?

We're traveling through Salt Lake City for a 2 night stay on return trip from Jackson, WY. August 9-11th.
Have been looking at several hotels including Sky Harbor Suites, 1876 W. North Temple.
Anybody familiar with this hotel/apt. complex?

We would prefer being close to sightseeing, including Temple. Any other suggestions?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Homer (and Ed)

In between flights, we will have approximately 4 hours available in SLC. Is it possible to take a cab into town and do some sightseeing and return to the airport? Any suugestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks...

My family and I are planning to go from SLC to Yellowstone park next Jan, driving by I-15N and US-20 reaching West Yellowstone MT entrance. Then our plan is drive to Rapid City, crossing Yellowstone Park and then US-26/18 ecc... According to climate conditions, is it a good route? or I will face many closures?

If anybody needs a ride from Salt Lake City, UT to West Yellowstone, MT - driving there this Friday morning Jan 9th and back on Saturday night Jan 10th or Sunday morning Jan 11th - then please feel free to contact me. I will have a rental car and wouldn't mind some company for the long drive. :-)

Does anyone know of some cheap clean accommodation in Park City Utah? My son is heading over to train on the skeleton run (its a long story) and needs somewhere out of the snow for a week or two until he can organize something more permanent. He'll probably be in Park City for around 4-8 weeks. Backpackers is ok; hostels; homestay. Any help much appreciated.

I'm coming to SLC to visit my kids and I was just wondering what is there to do with your kids on New Years Eve. Is there any fireworks or anything like that?

I'll be in Park City over New Year's Eve and was wondering where would be the best place to spend it (dancing, champain, etc)? Someone recommended Cicero's, do you know if they have anything special for NYE? Any suggestions would be extremely helpful as I have never been to Utah before.
Thanks, Jenna

When is 'happy hour' at Mikado?

I'll be bringing 4 avid teenaged skiers to SLC in March. They are all really good skier/snowboarders. We want to buy the Super Pass but don't know which of the ski areas close to Salt lake City are the best. Any suggestions?? Also, we're staying at the Crystal Inn at West Valley Center- any comments?? Thanks

Could anybody describe places like: SkyBar, Red Door, Manhattan, The Hotel, Habits, all in Salt Lake City?
I'll be there by the end of March.
Regards

So, I just learned something new about Utah. It is considered a "dry" state. In order to find a bar/nightclub that serves alcohol, you have to go to a member's only club. But I guess you can become a member at the door. Anyway, we are going to be in SLC for New Years. We're in our late 40's, like disco, r&b or jazz music. Classier the better. Wouldn't mind a place that serves dinner and has entertainment. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

Hi there,
Am planning to visit SLC soon but its gonna be my 1st time ever there, I m so worried about going there especially it's gonna be my first time in the Mormon state!
Been to NY & CA & NV before but never been to Ut before, how is it like over there? what about the people there are they friendly? are they open minded? considering i m a Muslim middle eastern guy will they accept me there, i am afraid i wont be comfort there.
I might be staying there for sometime so i wanna make sure everything is gonna be OK as a start.
what about hanging out and renting flats there are the prices reasonable or like NY?
I m so worried but i wanna go, What do u think about this step?
Please give me some info about salt lake city.
Your reply is highly appreciated
God Bless
Thanks Much

Is there public transportation from SLC to Park City? If the answer is no, what the chepeast private transportation service? and the cheapest rental car agency?

Please answer this question: Where is the closest Wyndham Hotel within walking distance to Temple Square?

I made a few quotaions online both for National and Avis, with p/up at SLC airport on July 15th and drop off in SFO Union Sq on July 25th.
For the exact same car (minivan for 7 people) the price is about 400 USD cheaper with National.
I have never rented a car with National before but have done it with Avis.
Does anyone know if they are reliable? Itīs a lot of money...
If anyone has had an experience, please let me know.
Thank you.

Would arrive saturday evening and leave Sunday afternoon, is this worth it and are things open on a Sunday morning ?

Thks Ian, UK

Does anyone have any suggestions for the best sports bar in Salt Lake City to watch NFL games on Sunday? Most important is the ability to view all the games, not necessarily food or service or anything else. Thanks.

I am flying to Salt Lake City and will be there for one day, but without a rental car. Can anyone recommend something to see/do?

my wife to be and myself have a 5hr layover in SLC on monday the 31, what can we do for 4hr

SLC-VT!

I just found a weekend deal on travelocity to go to salt lake city for only $300 (from San Francisco). I've got some questions...

I want to see Arches -- is it close? The flight gets in Saturday morning and leaves Monday morning. Is one day enough time to see Arches, including drive time? I think the only way I can manage this is if I toured salt lake city the day i got there (sat.), turned in early and headed out to Arches at 5AM. Good idea? bad idea?

Any suggestions in general? Anybody wanna come with?

Greetings All:
We are planning to visit a friend this coming weekend in Salt Lake and the air tickets are, needless to say, very expensive. Google (Phoenix-Flagstaff-Vegas-SLC), Mapquest (Phoenix-Flagstaff-Page-St.George-SLC, and Yahoo (Phoenix-Vegas-SLC)all gave different directions. Can any one whose has driven in this route or know about this route give me some suggestions...
Thanks in advance...

Hi, I'm definitely sure about going to Salt Lake City in this year. Any ideas about when are the best months to go there? Also, when do the air tickets get cheaper? (departing from Philadelphia or NYC). Thanx!

I'll saty a week in SLA during March, and I'd like to know:

1) Weather, does it snow in March?
2) Places to drink and to have fun
3) Nearby places to snowboarding

Regards!
Carlos

Hi my fellow travellers

I'll be in Salt Lake over Thanksgiving. Can anyone recommend where we might go for a great traditional Thanksgiving dinner? Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

We are driving down to Phoenix in August to take my 16 year old to school. (no I will not let a 16 year old drive 1200 miles by himself) Salt Lake city is about the halfway point. We are not camping as there is no space for the camp stuff so I need a motel or more to the point a town to stay in that I can actually get out and float in the lake. What town is near the lake? Syracuse, Ogden? I have been searching but finding no answers, especially here on VT. Thanks, Ellen
