(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 20, 2008 ) CASPER, Wyoming — Casper, Wyoming began as a meeting place for pioneer and cattle trails to converge to cross the North Platte River and it is now a prime meeting spot for professionals in suits and ties. With more than 2300 hotel/motel rooms and approximately 180,000 square feet of meeting space, Wyoming’s Adventure Capital in Casper offers plenty of reasons to be chosen as the home base for your next meeting or convention. Casper is centrally located and offers an exceptional combination of dining, shopping, cultural, and leisure activities.

This city has a whole world of outdoor adventure for convention-goers: a soccer complex, baseball fields, skeet and trap shooting clubs, ATV and air modeler facilities, and city tennis courts and swimming pools are just some of the sports venues. Rodeos and equestrian events are held at both the Casper Events Center and the Central Wyoming Fairgrounds, which is home to a new multi-purpose sports facility. The outdoor and indoor sports facilities and event facilities were even recognized in 2003 as Wyoming's Sports City by Sports Illustrated. There are plenty of choices for accommodations for meetings and conventions as well for those that want to venture out for adventure before and after those important conferences

For golfing enthusiasts, it’s interesting to note that in 2006, Golfweek Magazine named Casper’s Three Crowns Golf Course as one of the “50 Best New Courses”. It’s a beautiful and exciting course, and Casper’s extra dose of outdoor fun after long days in meetings. There are 110 acres of playable turf, with A-1 bentgrass on the putting surfaces. The tees, fairway and rough are predominately Kentucky Bluegrass. Other features are white sand from Idaho, and eight bodies of water scattered throughout the course. For avid golfers, however, hitting the links at Three Crowns is only the beginning--there are several other notable courses in town.

The Casper Area Convention and Visitors Bureau can help create customized itineraries and make arrangements for any number of meeting or conference goers. For more information about planning your meeting or convention, contact Kurt Box at 800-852-1889 or visit the website.
