Narrative:

We were advised by den ATC to expect a visibility to runway 17L. ATIS at dfw reported visibility approachs to runways 17L, 17R and 18. Approach also advised us to expect runway 17L. On vectors to 17L, we reported airport in sight. Approach gave us traffic to follow visually. We were unable to see the traffic so approach control issued us 7000' and broke of our approach vectoring us to the east for another visibility to 17L. We again reported the field in sight for the visibility to 17L. Then approach advised us to plan runway 17R, which is served only by a VASI. In the confusion of the changes and readjusting for an approach and landing to another runway, approach never handed us over to tower, therefore we never contacted the tower for a landing clearance.
