Do you really want to go all out and make the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo a full experience (with a capital E)? Hotel Born has a fun package (although maybe not a DEAL). The Stock Show Shopping Spree package is now available for booking and includes one night in Hotel Born’s Presidential Suite, handcrafted boots from Lucchese, and a gift card to dine at Tamayo in Larimer Square. But the deal starts at $3,000. Have you looked at Lucchese boots? They are so beautiful. Yeah, I just said boots are beautiful.
