Since I posted the "What to do in Dallas" thread, Mrs. Hamhock mentioned that she'd never been to Hot Springs.
I'm thinking of changing the Dallas trip to Hot Springs.
Anyone ever been? What do they have to do there?
TIA

There is a messican place that is an absolute must. On the walls they have awards for the mest messican food in the state according to some big arki publication. It was some really good stuff. Now dont ask me the name of the place cause I'm not sure. It was on the west side of the main drag though.
"Best messican in Arkansas".
I've been to two places in Little Rock that claimed that, and both sucked.
Probably like looking for great fried chicken in China.

Not sure what there is to do. We only stopped there to eat and stay the night. We were doing field work in that area. Pretty country though.
I went there with my folks when I was a kid. They wouldn't let me in the racetrack. My mom had to spend the day shopping downtown with me while my pops and sistahs played the ponies.
I hope that helped.
psst..it's just a city in arkansas (one of the United States), it's not a separate country.
heh.
Meh.
I'd say "hot sex", but I haven't been there since I was a kid, so I really wouldn't know.
Hot Springs is a nice place to spend the weekend. You want to stay at the Arlington Hotel. The town is famous for its hot baths, so you'll want to arrange a spa day or half day for your wife, and that hotel has a nice one. It also has a nice restaurant and bar, and you can walk to downtown Hot Springs for shopping and sightseeing.
They also have a fairly well known documentary film festival, but that's in October.
The Arlington used to be famous for Brandy Alexanders with home made ice cream. Just a few blocks down the street was a place that was famous for having mud wrestling on I think Thursdays. YWIA
Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with ketchup.
For the scenic drive (and possibly shortest) from OK take 71 from Van Buren / Ft Smith south to "Y City" and hit 270 East all the way to Hot Springs. It is a very nice drive. Lots of hills and trees...big hills and trees.

We stayed in the Arlington about 20 years ago. Mostly so my wife could indulge in the hot baths and massage plus it's historical significance to the area.
They had a 75 year old masseuse who had been there for most all his life. Had pics of all the famous people he had massaged on the wall. When I asked who was the most famous? He said "Al Capone" .
In the middle of the night, I got up to pee, and I heard all this scurrying noise.
Turned on the bathroom light and watched about 3 dozen roaches heading for their hidey-holes. I opted not to tell my wife about it as I didnt want to change hotels in the middle of the night.

VK,
I called the Arlington. They have a few rooms left.
Which would you rather have? A weekend of hot sex, shopping, spa, fine dining at the Anatole in Dallas or the Arlington in Hot Springs.
Massage would prolly be on site at the Arlington and we'd prolly go to one of spas recommended in the What to do in Dallas thread.
heh.
Czar, we're here for you buddy.
who do you think is paying for the trip?Czar, we're here for you buddy.
heh.
I generally prefer Dallas because there is more to do, but Hot Springs is a nice, slow change of pace, especially if she's never been there before.
PS... To respond to OUinFla, I suspect there would be roaches in most of the hotels in Hot Springs, that whole place is old school. The Arlington is regarded as the nicest one though. Or you could stay in some generic, newer Holiday Inn. Where's the fun in that?
Pat... I'm ignoring you.
