Live Entertainment Branson’s #1 for Family Entertainment For over 50 years, Branson entertainers have helped make this small town the “Live Entertainment Capital of the World”, and for good reason, as there are more live shows in Branson than just about anywhere.

No matter what you’re interested in, Branson has something for everyone, from country music stars like Clay Cooper, to music legends like Mickey Gilley and Johnny Lee, to Branson mainstays like the Baldknobbers and The Presleys, to America’s largest performing family at The Hughes Music Show.

Yearning for Country That’s what made Branson famous.

Branson’s traditional country ‘n’ comedy shows are as popular as ever, so don’t miss the Grand Jubilee or Pierce Arrow.

You’ll hear fabulous country songs along with side-splitting comedy. Also check out one of Branson’s newest shows, Hit Songwriters in the Round starring Nashville songwriter, Billy Yates. Hear stories from famous songwriters about how they brought their songs to life! If you enjoy classic country music, check out Raiding the Country Vault. Like Bluegrass? Check out the Petersens! This young group of performers will impress you with their enthusiam and musical skill.

Magical Moments These shows will have you asking “How did they do that?” Hamner’s Unbelievable Variety Show, Illusionist Rick Thomas: Mansion of Dreams, The Amazing Acrobats of Shanghai, and REZA: Edge of Illusion are great examples of shows that wow.

The Haygoods

Glory Days Many theaters in Branson will take you back to the days when music was an adventure. Shows like Liverpool Legends, #1 Hits of the 60s, New Jersey Nights, Legends in Concert, and Million Dollar Quartet will take you back to the glory days.

Something Different Sometimes you just want something a little different. If that’s the case, consider a unique show like SIX, featuring the show-stopping acapella voices & comedy of the Knudsen brothers, an orchestra of human voices. Another unique show to check out is The Haygoods. Hear all of your favorite songs while enjoying a spectacular lighting production. Listen in amazement as the talented Dublin’s Irish Tenors and Celtic Ladies take you on a breathtaking musical journey covering Irish Classics, Opera, Pop and Jazz Standards.

Good Laughs Many shows feature comedy segments peppered throughout their acts. So, if you’re looking to laugh, Branson is just the place for you. We love to spread gut-wrenching joy.

Be sure to visit it and the Dewey Short Visitor Center right by the dam.

Lake Taneycomo Since completion of the Table Rock Dam, the headwaters of Lake Taneycomo that pour from the bottom of Table Rock Lake, make Taneycomo a cold-water lake, perfect for trout fishing.

In fact, the lake is stocked with nearly 400,000 ten to twelve inch trout each year. Visit the Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery at the base of Tablerock dam.

Bull Shoals Lake Built downstream from the Powersite Dam in 1952, Bull Shoals Lake offers pristine views, mile after mile of undeveloped shoreline, clear waters (perfect for scuba diving), and amazing bass and walleye fishing.

A History of

Myer Hotels Based in Branson, Missouri, Myer Hospitality is one of America’s success stories. Carroll and Janice Myer, founders of Myer Hotels, began a hotel career in 1967 when they purchased their first motel in O’Neill, Nebraska.

In 1972, Carroll and Janice bought their first property in Branson, the Branson Motor Court. The resort remains today in much the same fashion it did then. The Myer family continued to develop in the motel business with a move to Rolla, Mo and then to Julesburg, Colorado where they owned a Best Western. Drawn back to the Ozarks, they moved to Harrison, Arkansas in 1976.

They purchased a 100-unit Ramada Inn in Harrison, Arkansas. With a commitment to quality, cleanliness and overall excellence, in 1978 the Myer’s Ramada was named the best Ramada Inn in the country. The family owned the property for 12 years, during which time numerous stars visited, including the King of Rock-N-Roll himself, Elvis Presley.

Carroll and Janice Myer were helped by their three sons who grew up learning the lodging business. Other hotels were purchased in Arkansas. Despite their success, something continued to pull the family toward Branson.

In the early 80s, Carroll and Janice purchased the Best Western Knights Inn (currently the Best Western Center Pointe Inn) in Branson. One of their sons, Gail, and his wife, MaryAnn, became the managers. The Myer family added over 70 new rooms, an indoor pool, sauna,

50

hot tub, exercise room, and game room.

With Branson developing into a top tourism destination, the Myer family committed to the unique town. All their hotels in Arkansas were sold and in the 1990s, the family opened a new Comfort Inn overlooking the 14th hole of the Thousand Hills Golf Course and then built the Best Western Music Capital Inn across from the Shoji Tabuchi Theatre followed by the purchase of what is today the Quality Inn West.

In 2001, the Myer family opened the Comfort Inn & Suites Branson Meadows.

The development marked the first hotel construction in Branson since the mid-90s.

The hotel offers guests a beautiful mountain lodge theme and an amazing million-dollar view of the Ozarks area. In fact, this hotel has become one of the most awarded Comfort Inns in the brand. In Dec. 2009, the Myer family completed acquisition of the Holiday Inn Express on Green Mountain Drive in Branson and made several enhancements. While operating six hotels currently, focus is on continual improvement within those properties. Each year projects are undertaken to enhance, remodel or add on to Myer Hotels.

Today, Carroll and Janice Myer act as advisers and consultants to the company while two of their sons oversee daily operations: Gail is the Vice President of Operations and Chris is the Vice President of Marketing. Along with the outstanding support of management and each hotel’s team members, the Myer family continues to excel in the lodging industry.

The Myer family has served in the lodging business for over 50 years.
