NOMG. Teens totally have it way better than adults at hotels these days. The Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas kicked off the teen lounge trend with their teens-only nightclub, Crush, followed by the JW Starr Pass in Tucson with their teen lounge, Blur. Now, teens vacationing in Colorado have their own place to chill away from the lame adults.

Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa at Beaver Creek Mountain will launch 7430, a new program for teenagers ages 12 to 16 on July 1.

The program offers teens a parent- and little-kid-free zone where they can hang out. The centerpiece of it is the Whitewater Lounge, where for $20-a-day cover charge they can play video games on the Xbox Kinect system, watch a movie or go online on one of the computers.

Aspiring filmmakers can opt to make a movie. For $30, teens have four hours to write a script, shoot and edit a film. The 7430 staff will bring the teens all over the resort for shooting locations, and the editing will be done in the Whitewater Lounge, where credits and special effects will be added. There will a red-carpet viewing of the movie, participants will get a DVD copy and it'll be posted on YouTube.

The Teens on the Town event includes a rotating menu of activities away from the 'rents. It could be anything from video game tournaments, a DJ spinning music or a night exploring Beaver Creek Village. The prices vary. Other teen activities include cookouts ($25), workout with personal trainers or go on a bike ride along the Eagle River ($30) and a spa day with a yoga session ($95).

The programs are available as interest dictates; reserve your Bieber lover's spot. Rooms start at $179 a night at the hotel.
