Clubcrawling by Dallas Limo Rental: 5 Fave Clubs

Dallas -- one of the biggest cities in America, where the weather is hot, hot, hot during the day ... so the clubs are ultra-hot at nighttime, after the sun goes down! If you're new to Dallas or just visiting, club-crawling by limo is a great way to explore the city's nightlife. No taxi stress or public transport worries -- ultimate safety, and awesome clubs! Today we check out five of the city's best venues to get your Dallas limousine driver to take you to and from.
1. The Slip Inn
One of Dallas's favorite dance clubs, the Slip Inn is said to be one of the most civilized (yet fun!) dance clubs in the city. With awesome electronic music, a crowd that is varied and friendly, so all sorts of people can feel at home. Old school hip hop and awesome electronica is standard, and both the barman and DJ are said to be at one with the crowd! Dallas limos are recommended -- parking can get a bit tight.
2. Cowboys Red River
This place gets PACKED on Thursday nights -- so make your ride ultra-civil, and your night ultra-wild, with a limo to Cowboys Red River! The drinks are priced mid-range -- not too cheap, but not hugely expensive. Music is focused on country, so if you want to literally kick up your heels, this is the place to go.
3. The Church
No, this is not the Dallas First Methodist ... although strangely, most patrons say that one of the best nights to visit this goth club is Sunday! It's a mid-priced dance club with live music and a full bar, and people say that despite the eyeliner-and-black lace atmosphere, the crowd is actually quite friendly. They play '80s dark wave and industrial, so if you had any angst as a teenager or a young adult, you'll probably recognize some tunes.
4. PM: A Nightlife Lounge
A business name which is original, despite being strangely boring, shouldn’t lead you to judge this dance club in Dallas before you've been! It is relatively new, and still establishing a crowd of regulars, but everybody that has been there is impressed. The crowd is an interesting mix, the atmosphere and decor is typical club-style ... and you'll be glad to see your Dallas limo waiting out the front after a long walk upstairs in high heels!
5. The Hotel Capri
Again, Dallas has a talent for misnaming their nightlife venues ... but in the process, creating a strangely awesome atmosphere! The Hotel Capri has an alcove bed in the back of the club -- but you'll have to get your Dallas limo to take you there early if you want a spot there. Ladies get free champagne some nights ... call ahead to confirm when.

Save on Activities, Splurge on Dallas Limos! 6 Free Things to Do in Dallas

When it comes to balancing budgets, some people choose the route of doing expensive activities and taking cheap transport; your other alternative being to choose cheaper (or free) activities, and taking more luxurious transport. More people are choosing this seemingly counterintuitive option! If you don't want to struggle with children on strange subways, or take chances on the cabs in an unfamiliar place, using a Dallas limo as your transport is the way to go. Here are some free activities in Dallas that will help balance your transport/fun budget!
1. Outdoor Sculpture Tour
If you're into art, in Dallas there is no need to pay for expensive galleries or museums … or worry about the kids putting grime all over the works of art! Take a Dallas limo to the Downtown area and stroll around, checking out over 30 outdoor sculptures.
2. The Morton H Meyerson
This is actually a symphony center, not a person! Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays you can see a $1.36 million family organ containing over 4,535 pipes. Combine this with a Dallas limo and a nice outfit, and you certainly won’t feel that you're skimping.
3. Dallas Library
We're betting that Dallas's version of the public library is a little different to what you are used to from your hometown! One of the original copies of the Declaration of Independence is on permanent display here along with William Shakespeare's first Folio of Comedies, Histories and Tragedies.
4. Meadows Museum
This is located at Southern Methodist University, and offers special collections, a sculpture garden and beautiful university grounds as surroundings. It is free on Thursdays after 5 p.m. -- use a Dallas limo to get you home safe, snug, and in luxury!
5. Galleria Shopping Center
Yes, fear not, this is still a post about all the FREE things you can do in Dallas! Galleria shopping center is modelled after the center of Milan, so is a cultural experience in itself. Use your imagination to find fun things you can do here without spending money; try on clothes, people-watch, grab some perfume samples and check out new makeup shades.
Dallas knows that many people feel very strongly about the assassination of JFK, and have kept the area where one of the country's favorite presidents was shot almost exactly the same as it was on that 1963 day. There is a memorial with a concrete tomb-style enclosure where people come to remember.
You can keep your holiday absolutely stress free by using a Dallas limo to get from place to place -- spend your money on something that will add to your relaxation, not leave you more frazzled!
