Fort Worth boasts a wide array of traditional Western attractions that will have any family feeling like they've gone back in time to the American frontier. From the world's only twice-daily cattle drive down Exchange Avenue to the famous Stockyards Championship Rodeo at the Cowtown Coliseum, the Historic Stockyards region of Fort Worth has everything travelers need to relive the excitement of the Wild Wild West. Nevertheless, just because your destination has an historic twist, doesn't mean your hotel has to be dated too. hotels.com customers can snag 20% off a two-night stay at the  Hyatt Place Fort Worth/Historic Stockyards via the Fort Worth CVB campaign and be right in the middle of all the lasso-roping, gun slinging action – without having to give up complimentary wireless and a 24-hour Guest Kitchen.

If aliens are more your thing, Fort Worth has got you covered there too. Fort Worth is home to the new and completely renovated Noble Planetarium that features an immersive all-dome video combined with a fiber optic dual-hemisphere star projector to see more than 7,000 stars. Other dazzling draws of the facility include an exhibit area that contains large screens with up-to-the-minute views of the Sun and a rockin' laser light show on the weekends. Far-out explorers don't have to stay far out when visiting this extraterrestrial hotspot, when they have the Embassy Suites Fort Worth Downtown less than 10 minutes away. This city-center hotel will help travelers continue to see stars long after they've left the planetarium with their 3.5 star amenities, such as on-site restaurant, bar/lounge, and a coffee shop/cafe.

"A venture down the streets of Fort Worth can make you feel as if you've stepped back into a nostalgic, yet surprisingly contemporary, time zone," said Taylor L. Cole, APR, director of public relations and social media for hotels.com. "Fort Worth is able to maintain a rich variety of historic American traditions, events, and culture, while still offering the modern day appeal other major cities around the country."
