Live in the Denver area and interested in finding locations to visit outside of town so that you can avoid the Convention congestion? Regardless of which group you find yourself in, Dex(R) local search solutions have you covered. With DexKnows.com(TM), Dex's online local search tool, consumers can not only search for local businesses, but read user-generated ratings and reviews of local establishments and plan out their own itineraries. For example, the more than 50,000 visitors expected to attend the Convention* can use DexKnows.com to find places to eat near the Pepsi Center, or map out routes from their hotels to the Convention. Likewise, Denver residents can use DexKnows.com's maps and itinerary planning tools to find alternative businesses that may not attract the tourist crowd, or look for places outside of the city.

Consumers can use the service to connect directly to local merchants and receive information about businesses via text message.
