                  hotel rooms on the hotel's web site.
                   
                   If you haven't heard a thing or two about Austin in recent years,
                  crawl out from under your rock. In the early 1990s, Austin usurped Seattle's reign
                  as Hip Town, USA. As the 'Live Music Capital of the World,' Austin has hog-tied
                  its competition by hosting the annual South by Southwest music industry love-in
                  - as well as umpteen lesser known music fests - and become the de facto cultural
                  center of Texas, if not of the entire Southwest.
   Austin has fewer developed tourist attractions than you'd expect
                  from so vibrant a city, and that's its real charm. Although the Texas State Capitol
                  is impressive and the city's museums shine, they're outclassed by Austin's natural
                  attractions: the natural pool at Barton Springs, the rolling green of Zilker Park
                  and the nightly flight of over a million bats from beneath Congress Ave Bridge.
                  Austin is a city for getting outside, getting busy and, when the day's done, getting
                  down with one of the 100 or so bands that jam here nightly. After a bellyful of
                  that famous mesquite BBQ, a few rounds of Celis beer and a couple days living the
                  Austin lifestyle, you'll be hard pressed to hold he locals' civic pride against
                  them.
