Gaylord Texan Celebrates Summer With A Variety Of Unique Offerings for Adult and Families to Enjoy
Grapevine, TX—( June 7, 2010 )Whether you plan to kick back for a long weekend, get lost in a Wonderland, clean an old bridesmaid dress out of your closet, or celebrate a birthday this summer, Gaylord Texan has a unique offering to help make your special occasion one to remember.
Thank You Thursdays
Move over TGIF, Thursday is the new Friday at Gaylord Texan! Gaylord has decided to officially lengthen the weekend with Thank You Thursdays, a new offer discounting 40 percent off of the standard guest room rate for residents of the states in which their resorts are located - Florida, Maryland, Texas and Tennessee - on Thursday nights.*
SummerFest 2010 - Wonderland Advenuture
In celebration of its sixth annual SummerFest event, taking place May 28th – September 6th, 2010, Gaylord Texan’s impressive four-and-a-half acres of indoor gardens will transform into a magical kaleidoscope of captivating colors and characters for Alice’s Wonderland Adventure.
As visitors wander into Wonderland, they will be lured into Lewis Carroll’s original storybook masterpieces as they encounter giant pieces of art and strolling entertainers including Alice, The Queen of Hearts and The Hatter, to name a few. Some activities include a “Journey Down the Rabbit Hole” 3D Black Light Maze, “DRINK ME” progressive cocktail sampling, Breakfast with Alice and Friends and Friday Night Fireworks & Parade of Magic Hats.
SummerFest overnight packages including breakfast for two adults and two children begin at just $189 per night.*
Birthday Getaway (this birthday offer takes the cake!)
Some say the best thing about birthdays is that they come once a year. Others say it’s the presents. Or the cake. Or, of course, the party. But now, with Gaylord Texan’s new Birthday Getaway,* all the “best things” just got a little better: one FREE night with the purchase of one night’s stay during a guest’s birthday month.*
Memorable Bridesmaid Dress Sweepstakes
Everyone has a skeleton in their closet. Some are more scandalous than others, but by far, the scariest live in the darkest corners of the boudoirs of millions of women worldwide: the bridesmaid dress. In its ongoing effort to celebrate the most momentous life occasions, Gaylord Hotels has launched a new promotion, the Gaylord Hotels’ Memorable Bridesmaid Dress sweepstakes, which is designed to pay tribute to the sentimental honor known as being a bridesmaid.
From now through June 30, 2010, women are encouraged to visit www.memorablebridesmaiddress.com and post photos of their most memorable bridesmaid dress, and if the image alone doesn’t tell the story, an accompanying tale about what made it so.
The winning entry, which will be randomly chosen, will be awarded a Grand Prize trip for two to one of the Gaylord Hotels destinations! The prize includes atrium garden room accommodations for two nights, daily breakfast buffet, one spa treatment per person at Relāche Spa and roundtrip air transportation if the winner lives further than 150 miles from their chosen destination.
