HORSESHOE CASINO High Stakes

The hottest spot downtown is the new casino (built in the magnificently restored former Higbee's department store), where table games are packed and slots are plentiful. If you're not dieting for the White Party, belly up to the Spread Buffet or check out celeb chef Michael Symon's B Spot. horseshoecleveland.com

GREATER CLEVELAND AQUARIUM Water World

Burning river jokes? Be careful, you're showing your age. Today we embrace the region's biggest natural resource, and no place more than the aquarium on the west bank of the Flats, which gives a nod to our local wildlife and industrial surroundings. Visitors immerse themselves almost literally in the facility's SeaTube.

A CHRISTMAS STORY HOUSE Eternal Christmas

You might know us by our work in The Avengers

and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but we cut our teeth in Hollywood with this '80s classic. The Parker house, in the west-side Tremont neighborhood, has been transformed into a museum, where you won't touch an Oscar

but you will see a

"major award."

BLOSSOM MUSIC CENTER Music Under the Stars

Most times we like our Cleveland Orchestra in the grandeur of Severance Hall, but summer calls for music under the stars in this gorgeous pavilion at the edge of the Cuyahoga Valley National Forest. Major pop music acts also flock to the facility, where some nights it's Liszt, other nights it's Lionel Richie. blossommusic.com
