Gaylord Texan Features a Summer Full of Texas-Size Entertainment 

Grapevine, Texas —( May 19, 2010 ) Famous for its four-and-a-half acres of lush indoor gardens and regionally-inspired architecture under a signature glass atrium, in addition to its endless entertainment offerings, Gaylord Texan will further delight visitors this season with its sixth annual SummerFest event.

As visitors enter the magnificent destination, they will quickly discover that the spirit of the Lone Star State flows through every corner of the Texan’s sprawling grounds.  From the winding waterways of the Rio Grande and San Antonio-inspired Riverwalk to the Palo Duro Canyon and towering oil derrick, they are treated to an authentic Texas experience. In addition, the resort offers six signature restaurants, unique retail shops, an outdoor pool, and the 25,000-square-foot Relâche Spa.
