What should I do in Denver for 6 hours?

I'm going to visit a buddy who lives in CO after new years and I'm flying into Denver at 9am. He's coming from home as well but lands at 3:30, so he won't be able to drive me up to Vail until later in the day. I don't really want to sit in the airport for 6 hours and try to decipher hidden Nazi conspiracy theories, so does anybody have some suggestions for things to do?

I'm up for doing anything that will leave me in the vicinity of the airport/on the way to Vail by 4 or 4:30, and my only limitation is that I won't have a car and I'll be lugging around a ski bag.
 
I don't want to spend the money to rent a car or get an expensive cab ride, otherwise i'd just head up to the mountains early and go skiing. Ideally looking for a short cab ride to some weed palace where I can get wear a tunic and get stoned while a midget feeds me grapes. Isn't that what people do in CO now?
 
Unfortunately the airport is really far from the city. You could jump on a bus, but other than that it will be tough.

That would've cost $200 extra

So the airport is sort of off in no mans land? Do they sell weed in CO airports yet?

Bus is your only cheap option. its less than $10 from DIA to downtown Denver

This.

I believe it's $11 to the downtown metro terminal that is uber close the the convention center. I'm not sure how old you are, but there are some fun bars around there.

If you don't feel like waiting for your friend, I believe the Greyhound picks up around 12:30 from that same spot and is like $25 to get to Vail.

If you are old enough... there is a great bar called 1up in Lodo... doesn't open till 3 though. It's a video game bar.

The airport it like a $70 cab ride from downtown Denver. A bus would take you a long ass time round trip.

Denvers a sick city though. So much to do, lots of cool bars.
 
pay ten bucks at the airport baggage center store (level 5) to leave your bag and have your buddy snag it when he lands

-catch the RTD skyride bus AF to Union Station ($11), way cheaper and about as quick as a supershuttle, don't even bother with a cab or a lyft/uber.

-have breakfast at snooze. locals either love it or loath it but it's pretty decent and there won't be much of a wait on a weekday.

-walk over to jiberish if you're into that shit, about 10 minutes from union station.

-catch an uber or lyft over to 25th and larimer and walk up the alley between walnut and larimer to 30th. the entire alley gets repainted once a year by local and international artists and there are some lit murals this year.

-once you hit 30th, veer right to larimer and hit up botanico, great dispensary with a solid staff and a wide selection of herb and wax as well as edibles.

-walk a further 2 blocks north while smoking a preroll to harass the guys at level 1, get some free stickers, and buy a shirt.

-roll back down the street to have lunch at either crema (get the moroccan meatball or cubano sandwich, or if you're a veg they have a bbq jackfruit sandwich sometimes which is straight fire), cart driver (wood fired pizzas and oysters, you really cant go wrong), osaka ramen (get the kara age chicken and a bowl of tonkotsu), or bijou's (an indian fast casual spot owned by a guy who's written a few really legit cookbooks for athletes who value nutrition and hate fucking clif bars).

this should put you at about 1 or 2pm, which leaves about 3 hours to kill before your buddy picks up bags and gets a car.

-you're going to be high as a kite by this point so I'd suggest you rent a b-cycle (i think a daypass is like 5-10$) and zip down broadway and stop wherever looks interesting to you, or cut across town to the lower highlands and just walk around and stare at yoga butts for an hour or two.

no matter what you're going to be about 5 minutes from a highway exit so it'll be really easy for your buddy to swoop you and you'll be on your way to vail in no time!

Dude you're the man, this is awesome! I'm very likely to follow this plan step by step.

Thanks for putting in the time to lay that out

Follow that and you're set! If you wanna kill more time theres probably 10 breweries you will pass that you can swing into and chill. Id recommend Ratio at 29th and Larimer.
 
Wish I had known what Dan said when I was stuck there. Luckily Audi set up these giant igloo tents in the airport with techno music and hot girls and an RS5. I got a boner from waddling around the tents and then explored the airport enjoying Nazi art for 5 hours. 6/10, not a bad place

ratio doesn't open till 3, epic is open at noon though!
 
I wish you luck. You could also look into the Bustang, I think it *might* go to the airport or if you get to union station you should be able to take that to the mtns. Cheaper than super shuttle.

My buddy came back to Denver with me from Vail just for a change of scenery one day. I had to drop off my Acura at 7AM to get header work done at the exhaust shop, so we figured we'd walk downtown, grab beers, whatnot. Worst day of our life. Downtown was super lame, couldn't find a drink. We eventually found a dispensary open at 10AM and rolled/smoked joints in an alley behind a strip club but needless to say, not the most exciting day. We literally just walked for 7 hours bored AF
 
If you were here now, you could just walk around and watch people get into car accidents. (nothing dangerous, just people who can't drive in snow sliding into parked cars)

I wish I had more free time yesterday. I would have filmed a short titled Subarus with Summer Tires Stuck in the Snow
 
1. Go find some mexicans around King Scoopers or in the park and buy a half gram, or maybe a gram of some shitty black tar heroin, some tin foil, a lighter and a straw.

JUST KIDDING.. lets start again:

1. Use my invite/affiliate code, adrianm3664ue, get a free ride up to $100! Limited time only. Redeem it at uber.com/invite/adrianm3664ue #Uber

2. Cop an UberXL, preferably a new Tahoe or Denali or a Benz G-wagon, thanks to me 100% free, yessir ur set. Denver is a really shitty "city" and isn't worth walking around or seeing anything anyways, in the historical sense that you would in Munich, Paris, Boston, etc.. obviously.

3. Meanwhile ur waiting for your chauffeured big black, low MPG ride with 18 or 19" rims, be on that TINDER GAME SONNN

4. Just be like me and be super charming yet an asshole, no time you'll have SOME bored or horny "lovely female" who is intrigued by your baller status (even though everyone knows about Uber now in 2016...) yet, whatever u gotta say or do, just get her in the whip , and tell you'll tip the driver an extra $10, $20 spot (depending how broke you are )

5. Ahhh! As I didn't explain but was implied, see you already had a small but not too sleezy cooler in the backseat , that has enough alcoholic drinks for her to get quite fucking lit without , u know... having to make the bitch an extra dry vermouth Martini in the back..yaaddadyeamn? Thats not going to happen... We are talking Fireball, Smirnoff something flavored actually, and if ur a G just have it all - some whiskey too for yourself, actually what am i saying...??

You should be spending like $10 TOPS , fuck that, buy POpov for all i care and pour it into a grey goose bottle in the back of a restaurant trash can.... whatever.

-----

Now, have the driver ignore and put on the the fucking soundtrack, and just tell her ur in town for the Dew Tour or Xgames or whatever it doesnt matter...

If she calls you out cause she actually knows and shred, like legit.. then just start making out with her and fuck her in the back seat of the Denali as you preferably cruise at least like I said to Boulder or somewhere kind of Scenic, and then back..

6. Drop her off, and definitely go to any of the recreational ganja stores and before your flight back home, buy as MUCH bud , edibles, oils, shatter, resin, etc. as you can possibly max out your or your loved ones/families credit card and then just don't even STRESS it just put it in your carry on , or whatuv and hit the DIA, wasted, laid, Tindered, real chiefed out on that black tar , hmm and a beautiful charming view of the mountains you never even got close to ....

And then go through security, and fly back home with treats for Xmas for your family ,friends of THC and CBDs and u definitely won't get fucked at security/before boarding.

Ur welcome.

WOW.... so not chill. !!!! I APOLOGIZE for my posts that....doesn't even make sense, in all my years and experience of hitting "submit" or "reply" regarding any forum/area of a webpage coded to allow user submitted written content..

Anyways ^^^ Sorry mods (and haters), please just delete #1, and #2, and leave the only post I meant to make up.. Thank you
 
So, to paraphrase, after I arrive at the airport I should either go get cheap black tar heroin from mexicans, or somehow get a free pimped out uber, find a bottle of grey goose that I can pour cheaper vodka into, find a tinder girl and fuck her in the backseat of the uber while driving to boulder and back, and then max out my credit card at a dispensary and fly home that same day with weed in my carry on?

Sounds good man
