Spending money is always more fun when it's coming out of someone else's bank account. For this installment of It's a Date, our new weekly dating feature in which we help you plan dates in and around Denver, Westword staffers put our heads together to answer one crucial question: "If I had a sugar daddy, where would I make him take me?"

This one's for you, sugar babies (or people like us who like to dream):

1445 Larimer Street
Ask your sugar daddy to start with an afternoon drink at a Larimer Square bar...and then whoops, you're at a vintage store, too.  It's not every bar (or every vintage store) where you can enjoy handcrafted cocktails while you paw through racks of not-cheap vintage clothing from the '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and Y2K era, but this is the place to do it if you want to have that experience. Oh, also, there are street tacos!

The Four Seasons Spa and then Dinner at EDGE Restaurant
1111 14th Street
Have your sugar daddy book you some spa treatment at The Four Seasons Denver. The hotel's spa offers everything from deep tissue and hot stone massages to fourteen different kinds of facials, luxury manicures and couples treatments. After your body feels like mush, go fuel up at the EDGE Restaurant, and why not try the most expensive thing on the menu? That's the Butchers Block Cowboy Steak for $190 — and the cow you'll be eating comes from Lazy Acre Ranch right here in Colorado.

Gutenberg! at the Denver Center Performing Arts Complex
Garner Galleria Theatre, 1400 Curtis Street
Head over to the Garner Galleria Theatre, a cabaret-style venue, for the Broadway tour of Gutenberg! In this two-person musical spoof, two aspiring playwrights sing all the songs and play all the parts in a crass historical epic about printing press inventor Johann Gutenberg in hopes that they'll get an elusive Broadway contract. Get tickets here.

Run for the Roses
1801 Blake Street, #10
Need a nightcap after the show? Finish off the date at a swanky cocktail bar. One editor says he once saw a bartender shake a gin fizz for at least ten minutes there, so you know it's serious. And there's just a hint of secrecy, too. Look for the red "Cocktails" sign in the alley between Blake and Wazee streets — the bar is under that.
