OKLAHOMA - Last minute travel specials to Tulsa and
Oklahoma City.
Tulsa - In Tulsa you’ll find cowboys and classical
ballet. Art deco and arena football. Rodeos, religion and
rolling hills. A visit to Tulsa is a great opportunity to
experience a delightful mix of rich culture, colorful history,
terrific shopping, and lively nightlife. If art makes you
happy, explore some of Tulsa’s nationally recognized museums
like Gilcrease Museum, the world’s largest and most comprehensive
collection of fine art, artifacts, and archives of the American
West. Or stroll through an Italian-style villa that was once
home to a millionaire oilman and is now the renowned Philbrook
Museum, filled with Italian renaissance art, ancient and classical
pieces, and extensive Native American collections.
When the sun goes down in Tulsa, you can live it up almost
any way you like. Try a night at the opera, or hit the trendy
bars of Brookside and the Brady District. Get lucky at bingo
or the horse races, yuk it up at a comedy club, cheer on a
ball team, ride a roller coaster, feast at a four-star restaurant,
or get messy at a barbecue joint. The choices are endless,
and whatever you do you’ll have the time of your life.
Tulsa’s Western style was born when early settlers discovered
the city sat in some of the best cow country in the land.
Many quickly became ranchers, and some of their descendants
today are still working cowboys who actually have a reason
to wear chaps and cowboy boots. Just north of Tulsa at the
Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, the buffalo still roam and you
can look across the vast land and imagine you’re back in the
Wild, Wild West.
