Bayou Place, Houston

Although Bayou Place has gone through different owners and has had several different businesses come and go, it's still a good place to hang out with friends, get food, watch a movie and/or enjoy great music. Once Houston's Convention Center, it has many dining options, including The Hard Rock Café, seafood, Italian cuisine and more.

The site also offers two theaters: one features specialized film programming not available in other theaters, while the other can be transformed into numerous different layouts for different concerts, including a mosh pit or a more private setting. Ticket prices for most shows are usually reasonable, and the online purchasing process is super easy – so even if the Revention Music Center is not the best venue you'll go to, it's worth the price of the ticket to see a concert/event/performer that you know you'll enjoy.

This complex is located in downtown Houston among many other tourist sites, including the Houston Ballet, the Jones Hall for the Performing Arts, the Downtown Aquarium, Minute Maid Park, and several parks that usually have something going on like live music, family events, and other fun-filled adventures.

Tip:
Make sure to get tickets in advance if you're coming to Sundance, as seating is reserved.
