Lassen by Limousine

So, you and your friends want to take a limousine ride across the surface of an active volcano? We can do that. The closest city to Lassen Volcanic National Park is Redding, California, so that's where we'll begin. First, hire yourself a fabulous, spacious, climate-controlled US Coachways limousine. Select your limo from our excellent fleet of Jaguars, Cadillacs, Mercedes --even Humvees! It's an excellent idea to have a good meal before heading to the volcano, so have your professional, uniformed limo driver take you to Lai Lai Chinese Buffet at 2705 Churn Creek Road in Redding. Chow down on that Chow Mein, because a trip to Lassen Peak will be an all-day adventure.

After you're happily sated, climb back into your luxurious limousine and settle into the fine, comfortable leather seating for the long, scenic cruise up into the Shasta range. As the elevation increases notice how the plant life changes from low-lying California scrub into remarkable Alpine forests. Of course you've stocked your limo's wet bar and are enjoying every second of these magnificent views. Make sure at least one person in your tour group brought a camera, you'll want to remember this day in your limousine in photos!

Once you're on the flanks of Mount Lassen, an ancient, awe-inspiring feeling may overtake you-revel in it! The last time Mount Lassen erupted was in 1921, but rangers say that it could actually erupt at any time. Ask your devoted limo driver to cruise slowly so you may absorb the sounds and sights of these stately mountains. Watch for weird geothermal features like geysers and steaming vapor vents, hissing fumaroles and bubbling mud pots, all evidence of the long-ago volcanic activity that formed the peaks you're atop of. Ice-Age glaciers carved amazing curves and cuts into these mountains, leaving ancient remnants for you to see today.

It gets very chilly up here on Lassen Peak, so you'll eventually ask your driver to deliver you back to Redding for a much-needed cup of coffee. It will take about ninety minutes to get back to town, so stretch out and know that hiring this US Coachways luxury limousine was one of your best ideas, ever. Down in Redding, your driver will take you to Coffee Creek Juice & Java at 2380 Athens Avenue, in the heart of Redding. Savor a steaming cup and linger as long as you like-- your trusty driver will be happy to wait as long as needed and then escort you safely and graciously back to where this adventure began. Tonight you'll dream of Mount Lassen National Park and remember this day always.

Join a Limousine Tour in Joshua Tree National Park

Even if you're not an avid desert-lover, Joshua Tree National Park will impress and delight you. Not a chance of hiring a limousine here in the Mojave, so have your US Coachways limo gather you and your friends in Los Angeles or Barstow and plan to spend the whole day. Your limo will have a refrigerator and wetbar that you may stock with your own selection of beverages; bring along a well-packed picnic basket, too, as there are zero facilities or grocery stores in Joshua Tree.

It will be a few hours from L.A. to Joshua-- a little less if you leave from Barstow. You won't mind -or even notice- the time at all, because being in one of our fabulous, luxurious limousines is such an utter, absolute treat. Watch the view out your windows become more and more sparse as you rise into the high desert; Joshua Tree lies on the approximate border of the Mojave and Sonoran deserts. Notice the bizarre rock formations, called 'Inselbergs'; some appear to be profiles of long-gone desert prospectors. When you start seeing weird trees that look to be a Dr. Seuss creation, your limousine is getting close to your destination, these are the Joshua Trees after which this National Park is named.

For Gram Parsons fans, this limo tour may be a sort of pilgrimage; Gram died in Joshua Tree in 1973 and, a few days later, his road manager, Phil Kaufman, stole Gram's body from the Los Angeles airport, drove it out to Joshua Tree and immolated Gram atop Cap Rock, near the Joshua Tree Inn. Gram, as you may know, was a seminal influence on the country-rock genre, inspiring songs like the Rolling Stones' 'Country Honk', 'Sweet Virginia' and 'Dead Flowers'. You would do well to read Ben Fong-Torres' lovely GP bio, 'Hickory Wind' before your limousine tour to Joshua Tree; the trip will mean so much more if you do.

To a first-time visitor, Joshua Tree may seem to be in the middle of a harsh, hot wasteland but look closer, the High Desert is full of life, from lizards and snakes and jumping jerboa to sagebrush, creosote bushes and of course the fanciful, eponymous Joshua Trees. In the springtime this desert is awash in the colors of wild flowers and in winter it actually snows here. Bring your cameras, these are once in a lifetime shots you'll get on your limousine tour.

Your cool, air-conditioned, smooth-riding US Coachways limousine is the most comfortable way to get out and see the Mojave and Joshua Tree. Be quiet and still for a moment, roll up your limousine windows and just listen to the hickory wind.

Hollywood by Limousine: But, Of Course!

A limousine in Hollywood? Face it. Nobody's gonna gawk at you, as every other vehicle on Hollywood Boulevard is a limo, but hey, you're not in this elegant US Coachways limousine to impress strangers, anyway. You've hired your luxurious limo to impress yourself, right? And impressed you will be even if you've ridden in limos before, a US Coachways limousine is beyond compare. Our fleet includes Mercedes-Benz, Jaguars, Cadillacs --even forty-passenger Hummers complete with disco balls and a fireplace. Whatever your reason for renting a limousine, be it a large or small gathering, you can be accomodated in style.

Bring along as many of your favorite friends as you like, or plan an intimate evening for just the two of you. Either way, the moment your limo arrives and your professionally uniformed chauffeur opens the door for you, you feel as if you've entered another world. All this elegance can create some major appetites, but first let's cruise and find a good meal. Does Chinese sound good? Have your dedicated driver escort you and your company to ABC Chinese Food & Donuts at 1821 North Cahuenga (kuh-WAYNE-guh) Boulevard and dig into the tastiest Asian cuisine this side of Shanghai. It's an adventurous night, so go ahead and try to maneuver a pair of chopsticks.

Once you've eaten all you can stand, continue your limousine adventure with a visit to one of Hollywood's most interesting nightclubs, DV8 located at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard. Go in with a wide-open mind and chances are you'll have the time of your life. Should you choose to indulge in some less-deviant entertainment but still feel like rockin', climb back into your fabulous limo and have your driver take you a mile or so to Rock City Entertainment at 6021 Hollywood Boulevard. Always an eclectic gathering of real and wannabe rock stars, Rock City is loud, exciting and a guaranteed good time for you and your limousine crew.

You've never been one to give up easily, so when Rock City closes, your trusty limo driver will be patiently waiting to take you for that one more cuppa joe at the Bourgeois Pig located at 5931 Franklin Avenue. Lots of locals spill into the Pig after hours so you can people-watch or just sip quietly and reflect on the wild night you're having with your limousine posse. All excellent things eventually wind down, though-- when you're ready, your limo driver will carefully and safely return you to your starting point, full of Hollywood memories and lots of stories to tell tomorrow.

Fresno Limousine Excursion

California natives might laugh when you mention Fresno; the town isn't exactly know for its sizzling nightlife, but you can make a great night of it if you hire a US Coachways limousine. The instant you step into your luxurious limo you'll know you made the right choice. Complete with a wet bar and refrigerator that you may stock with anything you choose, our limousines are unimaginably deluxe and can accommodate up to two dozen of your close personal friends.

A good place to begin your limousine adventure is at Rosa Linda's Fine Mexican Cuisine located at 2057 West Bullard Avenue in the heart of Fresno. Rosa Linda is proud to claim the healthiest Mexican food made with only the finest, freshest ingredients. Once you've had your fill of Rosa's excellent comidas, back into the limo and have your dedicated driver take you to Buns Sports Bar & Grill at 2039 Kern Street for some boisterous billiards and ice-cold brews. Have all the fun you can stand but save a little energy for dancing, because the next destination of your limousine adventure will be Chiquito's Nite Club at 1291 South Chestnut Avenue. Chiquito's is always a hoppin' place with live bands and Karaoke competitions you can join in on or just watch and laugh. If anyone in your limousine group gets up to sing, be sure to have your cameras handy!

Enjoy just as long as you like, as your limo driver is always glad to patiently wait for you. Eventually your feet will demand a rest, so climb back into your fabulous limousine and ask your driver to take you over to the Avi Ano Coffee House at 6011 North Palm Avenue for that one-more-cup of freshly brewed coffee.

What a night it's been. Whoever said that Fresno was devoid of fun and entertainment must have never done the town by limousine.

Limousine Tour In Death Valley

Certainly you've heard of Death Valley-- it's the driest, lowest place in the entire Western hemisphere and the quiet star in the background of zillions of cowboy movies. But it's also full of mystery and lore and frankly, a fabulous daytrip from Los Angeles, Las Vegas or even Pahrump, Nevada. Pahrump? Absolutely Pahrump! Just over Mount Charleston from Vegas, Pahrump used to be a well-kept secret. Now it's the perfect launching-pad for a US Coachways limousine tour.

Arrange to have your luxurious, air-conditioned limousine pick you up in Pahrump no later than noon; you'll want plenty of time to visit Scotty's Castle, which is the main attraction in Death Valley. First stop, Horizon Market-5 at 840 East Highway 372 in Pahrump. Your limo has a wet bar and refrigerator, so load up on bottled water, cold drinks and plenty of picnic goodies. There are very few places to get provisions between Pahrump and Death Valley so this is really important. The reason this area is called Death Valley is when this desert valley was first found to have gold and other precious minerals, dozens of prospective prospectors never made it out alive.

Relax into the ultra-comfortable seats in your limousine, stretch your legs as far as they'll go and enjoy the changing desert scenery. If you take this limo tour in the springtime, watch for the patches of colorful wild flowers along Highway 15. The desert may look harsh and lifeless but there's really an amazing variety of animals and sturdy plants all around you. Joshua Trees appear as if Dr. Seuss made them up, they're so strange and other-worldly looking.

As the temperature outside rises steadily -the highest recorded was over 130°- you'll be glad to be in the air-conditioned comfort of your elegant limousine. Once you arrive at Scotty's Castle at the north end of Death Valley, you're invited to take two tours. One, inside the castle itself if amazingly accurate, with old Scotty's actual clothes in the closets, his dishes on the table and authentic Indian baskets and other relics to admire. The second tour is the Mystery Tour' which takes you deep underground beneath the castle proper. A little bit scary and quite educational, your buddies that tagged along for the limousine ride will have a great time taking it all in.

Hiring a fabulous, cool limousine for your trip out to Death Valley was a brilliant idea, indeed. Unlike the old-timers, you are guaranteed to get in and out of the valley safely and in complete comfort. Scotty would've given half his gold for one of these limos!

Feast upon the most happening Asian food in the East Bay. Take your time, because your professional limousine chauffeur is happy to wait as long as you like. Once you've gorged on all the Dim Sum and fried rice you can handle, climb back into your luxurious, roomy limousine because you'll want to enjoy the ride with your limousine friends, have your driver take the long way to the Bay Bridge and back. Your limousine will have a wet bar and you can turn the disco ball on and make it a fun party inside your limousine with your friends on your way to your next destination.

Winter Park by Limousine

A day in Winter Park, Colorado can be extreme, exhausting and exhilarating, all at once. You might think that the whole existence of Winter Park revolves around the ski industry, but you'd be wrong. Once the sun sets, Winter Park morphs into an entirely different place altogether-- Along the streets, trees come to life with strands of tiny white lights encircling their trunks and the sounds of bands tuning up begin to waft out doorways. People slide out of their ski boots and slip into dancing shoes-- When the ski lifts stop for the night, downtown Winter Park is just getting started. An exquisite, white US Coachways limousine arrives and the driver opens the door for you and as many friends as you care to bring along for the ride.

And what a ride it is! Relax in utter luxury with your choice of music surrounding you while you fully enjoy the company of your friends, never giving a thought to navigating icy roads or trying to find a parking space.

First stop: Deno's Mountain Bistro at 78911 US Hwy 40 for plates of sizzling steaks and crunchy, exotic salads. Stay as long as you like; your trusty limo driver will patiently wait for you.

After a leisurely dinner, it's time to test out those dancing shoes. Everyone climbs back into the limousine, still marveling at the luxurious interior. It's almost like a nightclub in itself. Have your driver escort you and your party three miles out of town to Fraser and the Crooked Creek Saloon at 401 Zerex Avenue. Scoot your boots with the locals or relax fireside with frosty beverages and enjoy lively conversation with your friends. Party as hard as you like-- your driver will get you safely to your next destination.

When you're ready to head back into Winter Park, ask your chauffeur to take you to the Voodoo Lounge at 78259 US Highway 40 where you can hobnob with the Hollywood snowbirds and chat up the natives. Voodoo can get pretty noisy, so when you've had enough hop back in the limousine and cruise down Highway 40 a few miles. The views are breathtaking, especially on a full moon night. When you arrive at the Rocky Mountain Roastery, stop in awhile for a steaming mug of something, well, steaming. Fresh-brewed coffees, hot steeped teas and gourmet cocoas are the specialty, so everyone will find something they crave. When the evening finally winds down, it's back into your luxurious limo for one more ride. Chances are excellent that you'll be hiring this limo again very soon; once you've experienced the absolutely affordable decadence of a US Coachways limo you'll want to do it again and again.

Venturing in Vail in Your Own Limousine

Vail, Colorado is certainly a beautiful little ski village. Good thing you like it here, because in winter you're likely to find yourself unable to get out of town when I-70 slows to a grinding halt. Not to worry though, as they keep the Vail streets pretty well cleared. It does give you an excellent reason to hire a limousine for the evening; a happy surprise indeed!

If you're in the mood for fine dining have your professional, uniformed limo driver cruise you and your dearest companion over to Montauk's Seafood Grill at 539 East Lionshead Circle. Feast upon succulent lobsters of the Chef's spectacular shrimp scampi. Baskets of freshly-baked Italian dinner rolls accompany each meal and you may be tempted to slip a few into your pocket to enjoy later. Go ahead. It's your night.

Always an energetic, handsome crowd of locals and snow bunnies, Garton's also has a cozy fireplace to snuggle around and enjoy an intimate conversation.

Afterwards, if you think you'd like a little more Vail nightlife, ask your limo driver to take you around to 228 Bridge Street for a late-night visit to Hipnotic, one of Vail's premier hot spots. Dance or just relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of Hipnotic. As your night eventually winds down, a nice warm cup of coffee would be a treat. Sadly, Vail has a distinct lack of cool coffee-houses, but there are three Starbucks within three miles of each other. Instead, opt for a dash over to the Marble Slab Creamery at 242 East Meadow Drive for an ice cream cone along with a mug of freshly-brewed java. You've always been on to enjoy the offbeat tings in life, so this is the perfect close to a stellar evening.

Telluride Rocky Mountain High in a Limousine

Nestled in a remote glacial canyon at the foot of the majestic San Juan Mountains, Telluride has evolved from an Old West mining town of the 1880s into the anything-goes resort destination it is today. This is an absolutely upscale town and you'll feel right at home in your US Coachways limousine. Choose from our fleet of Humvees, Mercedes, Cadillac, Jaguar and other luxurious limos and make a night of it with as many of your friends as you want to bring along.

No matter where you go in your limousine, it's a party all the way! You might even want to have your trusty, uniformed driver take you cruisin' around Telluride awhile --It's such fun to be in our limos, you'll never want to get out of it. Eventually you're going to need to eat, so have your driver take you to the Blue Point Grill & Noir Bar at 123 South Oak Street in downtown Telluride. Savor hand-cut steaks and the freshest seafood in the Rockies. After dining in the Blue Point Grill you can head downstairs to the Noir Bar which is surely the swankiest bar in town. Live DJs and live music most nights.

What if you prefer something just a little funkier? Easy-- Climb back into your limo and ask your driver to take your party to Eagle's Bar & Grill on Colorado Avenue. They have an enormous bar, pool tables and great happy-hour prices. As your Telluride evening winds down, stop by Baked in Telluride at 127 South Fir Street for a steaming mug of fresh-brewed coffee and a bakery fresh snack. Every night in Telluride is special; doing the town in a limousine is extraordinary!

Seeing Steamboat Springs by Limousine

Ah, Steamboat. One of northern Colorado's best-kept secrets. A wintery playground by day, but what's there to amuse you after dark? Start by hiring a fabulous US Coachways limousine and head into the Colorado night in luxury and style.

First destination: dinner. Limo on over to Boot Hill Bar & Grill at 1000 High Pointe Drive in the heart of Steamboat Springs for a taste of Rocky Mountain Cuisine. Nothing quite as delicious as a medium-rare steak and a baked potato the size of your head. Eat hearty --You'll get a chance to work it off at the billiards table later. When your hunger is satisfied, ask your trusty limo driver to take you over to Dream Island Plaza for a few hours at the Golden Cue. The Q, as the locals call it, is a lively hangout where you can show off you billiard skills or just enjoy the nightly live music.

Getting around Steamboat by limousine is not only totally luxurious, it's a very smart idea. Colorado, especially at high elevations, can be tricky to navigate. Icy roads are no problem for our professionally trained chauffeurs, so leave the roads to them while you savor your evening and each other without distraction. Once you've played enough pool have your driver escort you over to 435 Lincoln Avenue and the Mahogany Ridge Brewery. Here you and you company can relax by the fireside or gaze out the picture windows into the glorious, snow-frosted Colorado distance.

As your wonderful Steamboat Springs night comes to a close, one last stop at Starbucks 2200 Village Inn Lane for a steaming cappuccino and a chat about what a lovely day it has been. Maybe the most elegant night ever, thanks to your idea of hiring a US Coachways limousine.

Snowmass Village Limousine Tour

Oh what a day it's been. Nothing like having that lift pass to Snowmass and getting in all the skiing you could stand. Now you're exhausted, exhilarated and ready for some nightlife. Soon, your hired US Coachways limousine will be there, with a professional, uniformed driver ready and able to take you anywhere you want to go, safely and in utter luxury. Where to go first? All that snow play has given you quite an appetite, so dinner at Sage seems like the perfect first destination. Sage, at 0239 Snowmass Club Circle, promises a splendid meal. Gourmet-style Rocky Mountain cuisine is just the thing to satisfy. Then on to some fun!

If a true Colorado experience sounds good, then have your trusty driver drive out to Woody Creek; it's only about five miles away; ask him to drive slowly so you can enjoy a little extra time in the back of your wonderful limousine. Pull up the steep driveway to the Woody Creek Tavern and get ready to experience writer Hunter S. Thompson's favorite haunt. He may even be haunting the place-- at any rate, an evening at Woody Creek will surely be a memorable one. The eclectic crowd of snow bunnies, intellectuals and burly bikers always provide an unpredictable, hilarious whale of a time. Should Woody Creek Tavern turn out to be a bit more raucous than you're in the mood for, climb back into your fabulous limousine and head five miles farther, into Aspen. If you're extra lucky it'll be a full-moon night, when this part of the Rocky Mountains lights up into a magical fairyland of crystalline lights and sparkling shadows.

Iguana's Bar & Grille at 133 Prospector Road in Aspen is still lively, but a lot more serene than Woody Creek. Sip frosty or steaming beverages by the large, open fireplace and enjoy each other's company for as long as you like. Your limo will be patiently waiting, ready to continue your ride whenever you're ready to roll. When you finally feel like winding things down, take the limo into Basalt for one more leisurely cup of mountain-roasted java at Canteen Coffee 355 Gold Rivers Court. What a day it's been-- absolutely perfect, from Snowmass mountain to this steaming mug of coffee at the Canteen. Memories are surely made of this stuff.

Rocky Mountain National Park by Limousine

One of the most breathtaking road tours you'll ever take is the Trail Ridge Road through Rocky Mountain National Park. Have your US Coachways limousine pick you up in Grand Fork, Colorado. This trip is not for one of our 40-passenger limos; a ten-passenger limousine will be perfect. Some of these mountain road have serious switch-backs and our longer stretch limousines can't make the turns easily, so choose a Cadillac or Mercedes and prepare for the most spectacular cruise of your life.

Before you begin your 3-4 hour limo cruise, it's a good idea to have a hearty breakfast and The Bears Den at 612 Grand Avenue in Grand Lake is a fine place to get one. No, you can't get a bear steak with your eggs but you can order from an otherwise extensive breakfast menu featuring fluffy omelets and genuine goldminer-style flapjacks. Be sure to visit the facilities before the limousine arrives; it will be a while before you get another chance for a comfort stop. Then it's off to see the rooftop of the Rockies!

Choosing to take this spectacular highway in the luxurious care of a professional limousine driver is an excellent idea. The views are utterly breathtaking and you wouldn't want to miss a moment of it. Navigating Trail Ridge Road takes some serious attention; leaving it up to US Coachways is simply a brilliant choice. Along this route you will marvel at ancient, glacier-carved peaks and steep overlooks. Watch carefully for the elk, caribou and bighorn sheep that live in the park. Touring by limo is so wonderful, you may wish the ride could go on forever. But, you'll be in Estes Park just in time for lunch at The Grubsteak. Located at 134 West Elkhorn Avenue, The Grubsteak serves the best Rocky Mountain cuisine in the area. After lunch, ask your driver to take you by the historic Stanley Hotel at the top of Wonderview Avenue. Stephen King fans will be delighted to see where he lived while writing The Shining .

A leisurely cappuccino at the Starbucks nearby and then climb back into you waiting limousine for the cruise back to Grand Lake just in time to see a magnificent Rocky Mountain orange-and-purple sunset. What a day-- what a day, indeed.

Hurray for Ouray in a Limousine

Once you've toured the old Bachelor Mine and watched the crazy ice climbers on the waterfall, you've done about all there is to do in Ouray, Colorado. Fortunately, the happening little ski town of Telluride is only an hour away by US Coachways limousine. You won't even notice the time. In fact, you may find yourself wishing it took longer to get to Telluride, as cruising in one of these fabulous limos is simply so much fun!

Now, Ouray (say it OO-ray) is a lovely Old West place to stay. Nights are so quiet you can hear the hoot owls in the trees and maybe even the ghosts of old-time gold miners. Hotel rooms in Ouray have much easier-to-handle prices than in Telluride, too. Stay in the historic Western Hotel and feel like you're spending the night in the 1880s! There aren't a lot of people who live in Ouray full-time but the ones that do travel to Telluride when they need to get out and paint a town. Getting to and from Telluride is remarkably fun in a limousine, especially when it's full of your best friends. You can party right along with them, and you don't have to worry about navigating the mountain roads or finding parking in Telluride.

By the time you're in the box canyon resort town of Telluride, chances are good that you'll have worked up quite an appetite. Have your limo driver take you directly to The Cosmopolitan Restaurant and Tasting Cellar where you will savor Rocky Mountain cuisine crafted by renowned Chef Chad Scothorn. If you're in the mood for a hot cuppa joe before limo-ing back up the mountain to Ouray, drop by the Coffee Cowboy at 123 East Colorado Avenue. Actually, Colorado Avenue has several fabulous, one-of-a-kind coffee houses; drive slowly until you see one that catches your fancy.

As your evening draws to a mellow close, your last limousine ride of the night will safely deliver you back to your hotel in Ouray, full of great food and new memories. A US Coachways limousine makes any night special -- you deserve it!

Mesa Verde Limousine Tour

You finally did it. For years you dreamt of visiting Mesa Verde National Park, climbing the log pole ladders, peeking into the ancient Anasazi past. Today-- you did it. You scaled narrow sandstone paths, teetered over the edge, amazed at the view from Balcony House. You walked at least fifteen miles of ranger-led tours and now your legs are sorer than you can ever remember them being. Still, you're on vacation and want to get some nightlife going; it's just that you couldn't bear to walk even one more step. Now what?

You hire a US Coachways limousine, is what! There are no dining or drinking facilities in Mesa Verde, per se --But the surrounding nearby towns have plenty of places to offer. For starters, let's take care of that well-earned appetite. Have your dedicated, uniformed limo driver take you into the charming desert town of Dolores where you have your choice of authentic southwest fare at the Dunton Saloon or modern American food at the Hollywood Cafe.

The rip-roarin' Dunton Saloon is located at 52608 West Fork Road, right in the heart of Dolores, Colorado and offers such tasty fare as buffalo steaks and burgers, fresh southwest salsa and New Mexico-style Mexican comidas. The Hollywood Bar & Cafe is at 417 Central Avenues-- you driver will know where these are located. Chances are you'll be staying the night in Cortez where the nicest Mesa Verde-area hotels are, so how about a nightcap before turning in?

Main Street in Cortez is where things happen in this tiny town and Blondie's at 302 East Main Street is where you'll find potent potables and a relaxed Southwest ambience. We'd mention that Blondie's has a swingin' dance floor, but considering the state of your feet.. we won't. All in all, it's been a perfect desert day. Your trusty limo driver will deliver you safely back to your room where you'll enjoy a deep, solid sleep and dreams of times gone past in the magical cliffs of Mesa Verde National Park.

La Jolla Limousine Excursion

When you're doing a night on the town in La Jolla, California, a limousine is absolutely the way to do it. La Jolla's the most exclusive enclave in San Diego, so cruising by limousine is perfectly, well-- perfect. From the first moment your professional, uniformed chauffeur arrives and opens the limo door for you, you feel wonderfully pampered.

Settle into deep leather seats and ask your dedicated driver to deliver you to The Comedy Store, located at 916 South Pearl Street for an evening of hilarity. You never know who'll take the stage-- comics from Los Angeles often come to La Jolla to try their new acts and the local comedians are bound to be a laugh, as well. Once your ribs ache, climb back into your luxurious limousine and head to George's at the Cove, which is at 1250 Prospect Street.

Enjoy live jazz and libations at George's and don't worry about driving, because your devoted limo driver is always ready to take care of that. In fact, cruising about in your fabulous limo is such a treat, you get back in and ask the driver to take the long way around to Sorella Della Tavern at 7420 Avenue. A little more live music and a few more sips as the evening winds down gently. It's such a great way to have an adult night out, knowing that you have a limousine to get you here and there. You're not quite ready to call it a night, so one more cruise, this time to Gold Fish Point Cafe at 1255 Coast Boulevard for a leisurely cup of cappuccino.

It's been a magical evening and your US Coachways limousine made it extra-special. La Jolla by limo-- nothing like it anywhere.

Channel Islands Limousine Tour

The best way to see the Channel Islands is by daylight, so your limousine picks you up in Ventura in the late-afternoon, while there's still time to explore the tide pools and watch for whales in the distance. When the sun finally sets you're absolutely in the mood for seafood and your dedicated driver suggests Joe's Crab Shack, at 567 San Jon Road in the heart of Ventura. Enjoy cruising in utmost style and comfort- your chauffeur knows exactly where Joe's is, and he'll get you there safely. At Joe's you dine on succulent California langusta, the local clawless lobster with the fattest, tastiest tails you've ever eaten.

After you've thoroughly enjoyed your seafood dinner, have your limousine deliver you to Bombay Bar & Grill at 143 South California Street-- the liveliest joint in town. Bombay's has two rooms, each with a giant dance floor and DJ. They're proud to claim the longest bar and the largest drink selection in Ventura County, and that's saying a lot! Dance the night away and party as hearty as you like-- your driver is waiting patiently as promises to get you home safe and sound. Once in a while, Bombay's becomes the hippest Karaoke bar in town so go ahead and wow 'em with your best Aretha Franklin imitation and have a ball.

After all this wild partying a nice cup of java sounds mighty good, so climb back into your luscious limousine and cruise slowly to the Bad Ass Coffee Company at 4685 Student Street and calm yourself over a steaming cappuccino. You and your companion are sure to agree that this has been one of the best times ever-- having a US Coachways limousine surely added to the memories you'll share forever.

Carlsbad by Limousine

Carlsbad, California is located just about halfway between San Diego and Los Angeles making it easy to get to either one in about an hour. When you've hired a US Coachways limousine for the evening, the ride will be over far too soon-- cruising around in one of these luxurious limos is such a dream-come-true you just never want it to be over. The night is young, so let's start with a tasty dinner while you decide where else you want your limo to take you.

As long as you're right on the coast, a seafood dinner is just the thing to do and Fish House Vera Cruz is the best fish house in town. Located at 417 Carlsbad Village Drive, your dedicated, uniformed driver will know exactly where it is. Enjoy a leisurely dinner, knowing that your limousine will be waiting for you. Over dinner you've decided to go for a few laughs, so you ask your devoted driver to escort you and your guest down the coast to La Jolla and The Comedy Store at 916 Pearl Street. World-class entertainment and up-and-comers are sure to tickle your funny bones.

It's hard to let a night like this one end, so ask your driver to take the long way, up Highway 101 back up the coast to Carlsbad. Make one more stop before heading home, to the Courtyard Coffee Cafe at 2121 Palomar Airport Road where you can enjoy steaming mugs of cappuccino while you watch the small airplanes land between sparkling runway lights. A perfect end to a perfect evening-- having your own limousine made it all that much more special and surely a night to remember.

Beverly Hills Nightlift in a Limousine

Beverly Hills and limousines go together perfectly. Actually, there are more limos per capital here than anywhere else on the planet. One of them should be yours, and it can be. It's as simple as contacting US Coachways and reserving a limo from our magnificent fleet of luxury vehicles. Choose an elegant Cadillac limousine or go full-tilt party-hearty with a stretch Hummer that can easily hold up to forty of your closest friends. Fully equipped with a superior sound system, an interior light show, wet bar with crystal (byob), disco ball and even a fireplace-- such fun that you might just want to drive around in your limo and never get out!

But hunger calls and everyone's in the mood for something fancy and Italian. Ask your chauffeur to escort you to The Stinking Rose at 55 La Cienega Boulevard. A 'stinking rose' refers to garlic, by the way, and if you like garlic --doesn't everyone?-- this is the restaurant for you. After your scrumptious Italian dinner, everyone will be glad to have room to stretch out in the limo as you comfortably cruise to your next destination. Have your driver take you the long way-- the limo is just so much fun!

How about some dancing? Cruise slowly to the Michi Bar at 903 Manhattan Avenue in Manhattan Beach where you and all your friends can go a little wild as you work off some of that canolli. Live music every night and drink specials, too. Dancing is fun, but everyone wants to ride in that gorgeous limousine some more, so pile back in and feel famous as you take the scenic route to the Beach Club at 201 Palisades Beach Road in Manhattan Beach. You'll wish these SoCal towns were farther apart so you could ride all night, but soon you'll be at the Beach Club, mixing it up with the local BMW-driving beach bums. Dance some more or just enjoy the live band and people-watching, secure that you have that yummy limo waiting for you right outside.

Bars close at 2AM around here and too soon it's time to crawl back into your marvelous motorcar and head back to Beverly Hills. It's hard to let the evening end, so one more cup of java at Koo Koo Roo in the heart of Beverly at 262 South Beverly Drive. Linger a little longer, savoring your mugs and your friends. Then, climb back into your limousine one more time and you'll be delivered, safely and securely to your final destination. Yup. Doing Beverly Hills by limo was the perfect idea, making a night you'll always remember.

Anaheim By Limousine: An 'E' Ticket Ride

So, you've done all the amusement parks and now you'd like to find something a bit more adult to do. Ding! Hire a fabulous US Coachways limousine for the night and you're set.

When you put yourselves in the care of a dedicated, professional limousine driver, there's no more hassling with that SoCal traffic-- Simply tell your driver where you'd like to go and then relax into the comfortable leather seats while you're safely delivered to your destination.

After a day of lemonade and cotton-candy, a decent adult meal is in order, so have your driver take you the few miles to Manhattan Beach. Thai Dishes at 1015 North Sepulveda Boulevard prepares the tastiest Asian cuisine you've ever tried, as spicy or as mild as you like. Of course, even the mildest Thai food can be pretty tangy so a few grownup beverages could be just the thing. Back into the limo for a cruise down to Covina to Clancy's Sports Bar & Cocktail Lounge at 921 North Azusa Avenue. Chill those taste buds right down with a frosty beverage and cheer for your team on the giant-screen TVs.

Eventually you may feel like toning things down a bit, so it's back into your fabulous limousine for a ride to Cristela's in Long Beach at 347 West Anaheim Street in Long Beach. Cristela's is a swanky watering hole where you can sit quietly and converse with your companions. Splurge if you care to; your limousine will get you home (or back to your hotel) in comfort and safety. Traveling the Los Angeles area in a limo will make you feel famous, even if you aren't. It seems a shame for this wonderful night to end, so take another cruise in that deluxe limo.

You'll be so glad that you took a limo around town-- it's safe, secure and oh-so comfortable. You and your companions will be talking about it for a long, long time.

Keystone, Colorado

For a small mountain town, Keystone sure has a lot of fun things to do after dark. Say you've had a long day of skiing and snowboarding (this is what Keystone's famous for) and just want to hang out and enjoy your friends. Nobody wants to drive so what the heck-- Hire a US Coachways limousine for the night and let your dedicated, uniformed driver handle the roads while you and your pals party hearty.

First stop: The Snake River Saloon, just past the Keystone Inn. Your driver will know how to get there. Hey, snowboarding can really get your appetite going and a humungous steak with button mushrooms in a tasty Bordeaux sauce can go a long way toward satisfying that need to feed. Sometimes you can get an elk steak or buffalo burger but whatever you order, you can count on it being scrumptious.

After dinner, have your friendly limo driver take you and your pals to the Last Lift Bar and join in Keystone's premiere ski party. Live entertainment always gets the snowbirds rocking and you can enjoy some of Colorado's world-famous adult brews. Dance 'til you drop --It's all good and your trusty limo driver will get you home safe and sound when you're done.

Might be a fun idea to stop for a steaming cup of joe before taking the limo ride back to where you started. Inxpot Coffee House in River Run Village makes a fine cappuccino and usually has some sort of funky folk-singers to entertain. Hiring your US Coachways limo for the night was such a great idea-- Aren't you glad you thought of it?

Grand Junction

Grand Junction is about as far west as you can get and still be in Colorado. Granted, there's not a lot of nightlife to speak of in Grand Junction --So hire yourself a luxurious US Coachways limousine and anywhere you go will be a world-class treat! How about hiring the Hummer H2 limo-- as many as twenty of your closest friends can comfortably ride in it. And what a ride it is!

Our Hummer H2 limousine comes complete with a wet bar, disco ball and fireplace. Yes, a fireplace! See what we meant about 'anywhere you go'? Cruisin' in this baby is like being in a traveling nightclub that can take you anywhere you want to go. Since the ride is half the fun, have your competent, uniformed driver take you west on I-70 a few miles to the tiny town of Fruita, Colorado. This trip is especially fun in daylight, so you can take pictures with the Mike The Headless Chicken statue. Mike is no urban legend-- He really did live in Fruita in the 1940s. A Mr. Olsen was preparing a western meal and knew how much his mother-in-law loved chicken necks. He was careful to cut the least amount of Mike off when, to everyone's amazement, Mike stumbled around for a minute then began pecking for food! Without a head! Mike lived for another eighteen months, traveling the southwest, and staying in the best hotels. Do a Google search for Mike and get excited about visiting his hometown.

Once you've done the Mike-The-Headless-Chicken tour to Fruita, what could possibly follow? Enjoy the limo ride back into Grand Junction and celebrate Mike by devouring some tasty chicken enchiladas at Conchita's Mexican Restaurant located at 2692 Hwy 50. A favorite of locals and travelers alike, Conchita's has the best authentic handmade burritos in town, as well as tasty margaritas. Enjoy your meal fully -- no worries about driving yourself home later, because your trusty US Coachways limousine is ready and waiting. Save a little room for dessert, because your next stop is Java Junction.

Your driver will deliver you safely back where you started, well-fed and knowing more about headless chickens than you ever thought possible.

Now you're in the mood to put on something nice and do the town right. Glenwood Springs is a fairly small, Old West town but there are things to do after dark. The best -and safest- way to see Glenwood Springs is via US Coachways limousine.

The canyon has several places where you can enjoy the local mineral springs; the world's largest natural mineral-springs pool is right here at 415 East Sixth Street, open year-round to 10PM.

There are vapor caves, too, but the main attraction is the three-blocks-long mineral pool. Your driver will know how to get there and will be more than happy to wait for as long as you want to soak. These naturally-heated waters come from the nearby Yampah Spring, located at the eastern end of the property. The water emerges from the springs at a too-hot 122° and is mixed with clean, cool Colorado River water to make it comfortable for your bathing or swimming enjoyment. Taking a leisurely soak in the healthful mineral waters is a fine way to end the evening. After your satisfying immersion, dry off, dress and float back to your waiting limousine. Who could possibly drive when they're this relaxed? Your driver will get you back where you started with care and comfort. This is surely 'The Life'.
