City Market
The historic market is the crowded center of the district, with vendors hawking junky souvenirs from open-air stalls.

City House
This signless brick building in Nashville's gentrifying Germantown neighborhood hides one of the South's best new restaurants. The food, cooked in an open kitchen in the warehouselike space, is a crackling bang-up of Italy-meets-New South – local chicken livers with red-onion jam, pizza with house-cured pork belly, root-beer layer cake with buttermilk buttercream. Cocktails are a high art here: try a Kubric (Tennessee whiskey, artisan pear brandy, ginger ale).

CityCenter
Just when you thought you'd seen it all on the Strip, where themed hotels compete to outdo each other, comes the CityCenter, which beats the competition by not competing at all. We've seen this symbiotic relationship before (think giant hotel anchored by a mall 'concept') but the way this LEED-certified complex places a small galaxy of hyper-modern, chichi hotels in orbit around the glitzy Crystals shopping center is a first.
The uber-upscale spread includes the subdued, stylish Vdara, the hush-hush opulent Mandarin Oriental and the dramatic architectural showpiece Aria whose sophisticated wood and chrome casino provides a fitting backdrop for its visually stunning…

Churchill Downs
On the first Saturday in May, a who's who of upper-crust America puts on their pinstripe suits and most flamboyant hats and descends for the 'greatest two minutes in sports,' the Kentucky Derby. After the race, the crowd sings 'My Old Kentucky Home' and watches as the winning horse is covered in a blanket of roses. Then they party.
To be honest, they've been partying for a while. The Kentucky Derby Festival, which includes a balloon race and the largest fireworks display in North America, starts two weeks before the big event.
Most seats at the derby are by invitation only or they've been reserved years in advance. On Derby Day, $40 gets you into the paddock party scene (no…

Chinatown
Don't expect flashbacks of Shanghai in Portland's lackluster Chinese quarter, which begins (and largely ends) at the deceptively impressive pagoda-style Chinatown Gates. Aside from some token chow mein takeouts, the main attraction here is the terribly overpriced Classical Chinese Garden, a deliciously tranquil block of reflecting ponds and manicured greenery, but for $8! Thankfully, tours are included with admission.

Chihuly Collection
New in 2010, this paean to Chihuly's glass artistry has designed the galleries around the installations, making each delicate garden and too-intricate-to-comprehend chandelier its own swirling drama of color and light. There are guided tours (every half hour) and a short film.

Cheyenne Gunslingers
A nonprofit group of actors who puts on a lively, if not exactly accurate Old West show – from near hangings to slippery jailbreaks. Stars include corrupt judges, smiling good guys and, of course, the bad-ass villains.
