Museum of Anthropology; visiting the latest exhibit at the Science World in False Creek; taking a tram ride up Grouse Mountain (on a clear day) and enjoying a panoramic view of Vancouver and the Gulf Islands in the distance; catching a movie at the CN IMAX Theatre at Canada Place; watching the beluga whales at the Vancouver Aquarium; etc. Check this out: http://www.vancouverattractions.com/ The Westin Bayshore is situated along the water (Burrard Inlet) so I would recommend that one if you can get a room with a view of the North Shore mountains. You won't be disappointed. The nightlife in Vancouver? It has greatly improved over the years. Definitely check out the places along Granville Street. This street has a lot of pubs, restaurants and nightclubs. A good place to look: http://www.granvillestreet.com/ Also think about boarding at one of our local mountains on the North Shore - check out Seymour Mountain, Grouse Mountain, and Cypress Bowl. This year we have had such a cold winter and a terrific snowfall that we are all still in a state of shock.
