Well, a stay at the Big Cypress Lodge will give you the best of both worlds! The wilderness-inspired hotel with 104 guest rooms and suites (located inside the 32-story Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid that features an immersive Bass Pro Shops retail experience) overlooks the great Mississippi River in downtown Memphis, Tennessee.
The hotel sprawls across the second and third floors of the 535,000-square-foot Pyramid and looks upon a vibrant Cypress Swamp environment on the ground floor that features attractions, dining, retail areas, and wilderness features (including 100-foot-tall replica Cypress trees, thousands of fish across streams, ponds, 10 aquariums, and more). Winners will get to enjoy all that and more with these additional vacation package perks: Two-night stay in a rustic-elegant king guest room, Two tickets for the Sky High Ride (the country’s tallest freestanding elevator) and dinner at The Lookout and Underwater-themed bowling at Uncle Buck’s Fishbowl .
