Staying a weekend in October in Salt Lake for the first time. Is it worth dropping more points to stay downtown or save some by staying on the outskirts?

If you have a car then you can save some. If not, you should be downtown because the rail system is pretty minimal and they don’t have a large concept of taxis there. Very small downtown as well so unless there is little you want to do I recommend getting a car to go up into the mountains or the different areas that strike your fancy. I lived there back in college so feel free to ask any questions.

Don’t miss kneaders unlimited French toast before 11 am or the Pi pizzas. Main things I miss from eating out there

Outskirts. There’s not that much downtown.

Is there anything specific you’re interested in doing? It’s a beautiful city and downtown is fun, but if you’re looking for more outdoorsy stuff then it may not matter

A lot of good bars downtown if you like that, also the temple is worth checking out. If you're there on Sunday morning you can see the choir.

Otherwise if you like hiking more than anything else I'd stay more on the east side but it's not a far drive to any of the hikes from downtown either.

Outskirts is fine. Sheraton there is awesome actually

D1 is crazy. The Sheraton sucks bad. Marriotts or Grand America if you’re staying downtown. Place will be overrun the weekend of 10/6-7 for LDS General Conference. If you’re going that weekend especially stay out in one of the burbs

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend.

Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
