SLC is one of my FAV destinations! Was just there last weekend. Easy airport for getting thru security really quickly.

I went to Antelope Island last weekend, and on Labor Day Weekend, they have a huge balloon festival there! Should be pretty spectacular.

Also, the downtown nightlife is actually pretty fun. My flight arrived at midnight and I checked into the Hilton Downtown ($60 from Hotwire) and was up until 3 with people STILL crowding the downtown area. Nice Lebanese belly dancing restaurant 3 blocks away called Cedars of Lebanon.... I think.

Another REALLY fun thing (for me, at least) was the Golden Spike National HIstoric Site north of SLC. This is where the east and west got connected by train. They have BEAUTIFUL replica's of the trains and they do a re-enactment a couple times a day.

And even if a person is not a mormon, Temple Square is just amazing.

Lots more to do if you want more info.
