It's that time of year for cowboys and cowgirls to come together at NRG Park for the annual Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. With concerts, animals and more happening at the stadium, you can heighten your experience with a stay in Avenida Houston. Here's how!

Staying

With many great hotels in Avenida Houston, you can unleash your inner Texan at the Marriott Marquis. Take a few laps in the Texas-shaped lazy river, grab a drink at the High Dive bar and stay right next to the light rail, which can take you right to NRG. Also consider Hampton Inn or Homewood Suites. These combined hotels are on the light rail line as well and close to all of the Avenida action. 

Playing

Besides the rodeo, you can find many great events happening right in Discovery Green and in the area. Take a stroll and admire art, find the perfect backdrop for your pre-rodeo photos!

Dining

Head to Walker Street Kitchen for Texas countryside-style fare in an elegant environment, or head to Biggio's for that Astros feel. If you're looking to get even more rodeo-ready, check out Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse at the Westin Downtown

Riding

Stay in Avenida and don't deal with parking at NRG. Take a ride on the light rail from Avenida, then connect on Main Street to head directly to the stadium. Each one-way ticket costs $1.25, so you won't break the bank for the ideal spot. If the rail isn't your style, consider Uber. 

With Avenida Houston, you can vacation under the skyline, while enjoying the events down at RodeoHouston. See you there!
