THIS NEW YEAR’S EVE, PARTY LIKE A ROCK STAR

Gaylord Opryland® Offers Two Parties On The Biggest Night Of The Year

Nashville, Tenn.—( December 5, 2007 ) Count down to '08 with Nashville's "in crowd" as Gaylord Opryland® presents two of the hippest, hottest New Year's Eve parties in the nation, Dec. 31, 2007.

If you're looking for ‘round-the-clock, non-stop music, the New Year's Eve Delta Island Party is the place for you. All the fun and excitement will be so big, it will take four-and-a-half acres under glass to hold it. The New Year's Eve Delta Island Party features fantastic food and DJ Tyrus, who will be spinning the latest and coolest dance music and soulful party grooves. Plus, you'll ring in 2008 watching Nashville's largest indoor New Year's Eve fireworks show with synchronized music and lasers. Guests to the dance party can upgrade their ticket to experience the exclusive VIP ultra lounge, designed to capture a sense of luxury and refined style with private cocktail service and an open bar.

Or for an elegant evening, bring your disguise--or get a mask at your table--and head to the New Year's Eve Masquerade Gala. You will be given a bottle of wine perfect for complementing the four-course dinner prepared by the resort's world-class chefs. Afterward, dance the night away to the music of The Craig Duncan Orchestra. Welcome in the new year with a midnight champagne toast, balloon drop and party favors.

"Gaylord Opryland is THE place to be on New Year's Eve. Between hip music, hot dancing and amazing food, we make it easy to party in style," said Arthur Keith, senior vice president and general manager of Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center. "The Delta Island Party and the Masquerade Gala will set the perfect tone to get 2008 started off with glamour and excitement."

Both parties include:

  • Admission to either the Delta Island Party or the Masquerade Gala
  • Midnight champagne toast and party favors

Admission to the New Year's Eve Delta Island Party is $89 plus tax and gratuity. Upgrade to experience the exclusive VIP lounge for an additional $54. Admission to the New Year's Eve Masquerade Gala is $165 plus tax and gratuity.

While you're here, be sure to catch the return of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular® presented by Allstate® Insurance Company, starring the world-famous Rockettes®, as well as ICE®! featuring How the Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr. Seuss.
