"Our results in the hospitality segment came in as expected and we continue to show improvement at all our properties, even in comparison to what was an extremely strong second quarter in 2005," said Reed. "Our hospitality results illustrate our ability to attract higher value customers at each property who take full advantage of both our inside and outside-the-room offerings. Our service and amenities improvements at Opryland are beginning to yield positive results, as it is once again becoming the centerpiece of our network of convention properties. Meanwhile, the Palms and Texan realized revenue growth in the second quarter in line with our expectations. As America's leading convention resort brand, the future of Gaylord Hotels is indeed very bright and will continue to grow as we expand into other markets."

At the property level, Gaylord Opryland achieved revenues of $66.9 million in the second quarter of 2006, a 12.8 percent increase compared to the prior-year quarter. RevPAR increased 1.1 percent to $113.28. Occupancy decreased 0.5 percentage points and ADR increased 1.6 percent to $143.52. Total RevPAR grew 9.3 percent to $255.26 in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $233.45 in the prior-year quarter, due to the hotel's continued focus on booking customers with greater propensity to spend and the introduction of additional outside-the-room offerings, such as the Relache Spa. CCF grew 13.8 percent to $18.1 million versus $15.9 million in the second quarter of 2006. Due to a higher contribution of lower margin outside-the-room revenue in the second quarter, CCF margin increased by 25 basis points to 27.1 percent. Opryland's multi-year room renovation program did not adversely affect results in the second quarter of 2006, as no rooms were taken out of available inventory. Second quarter 2005 operating statistics reflect 7,940 room nights out of available inventory due to the room renovation program. The room renovation will resume this year in July July: see month.  and continue into the fourth quarter of 2006 with the renovation of an additional 431 rooms, or approximately ap·prox·i·mate

Gaylord Palms posted revenues of $45.1 million in the second quarter of 2006, an increase of 1.9 percent compared to $44.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Gaylord Palms generated RevPAR growth of 10.9 percent to $147.10, driven by a 7.3 percentage point increase in occupancy and a 1.3 percent increase in ADR. Total RevPAR was $352.32, up 1.9 percent from $345.76 in the second quarter of 2005. The decrease in outside-the-room revenue at the Palms was driven primarily by lower group banquet A banquet is a large public meal or feast, complete with main courses and desserts. It usually serves a purpose, such as a charitable gathering, a ceremony, or a celebration. Sometimes a banquet consists of only desserts, but it is advisable to include main courses as well.  spending typical of the shift in group mix from corporate to association business that occurred between the second quarter of 2005 and 2006. CCF increased 7.8 percent to $14.4 million compared to the prior-year quarter of $13.4 million. CCF margin for the hotel was 32.0 percent, up 175 basis points from the prior-year quarter.

Gaylord Texan revenues increased 2.1 percent to $42.9 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $42.0 million in the prior-year quarter. RevPAR decreased by 4.6 percent to $116.18 in the second quarter of 2006, driven by a 5.7 percentage point decrease in occupancy. ADR increased 3.1 percent to $166.05. Total RevPAR improved 2.1 percent to $311.88 in the second quarter of 2006 from $305.34 in the same period last year. CCF increased 0.2 percent to $10.8 million from $10.7 million in the second quarter of 2005, resulting in a CCF margin of 25.1 percent, or a 48 basis point decrease over the second quarter of 2005. As expected, a decrease in occupancy and a higher contribution of lower margin outside-the-room revenue led to the lower CCF margin.

Development Update

As announced on July 19, 2006, Prince George's County approved Gaylord Entertainment's economic incentives that it requested to fund a 500-room expansion at the Gaylord National. The Company is proceeding with the 500-room expansion, bringing the hotel from 1,500 to 2,000 rooms. The National booked an additional 73,900 room nights in the second quarter of 2006, bringing cumulative net definite room nights booked for the property to approximately 646,000. The National continues to set production records for Gaylord Hotels two years from its opening in the beginning of the second quarter of 2008.

"We are pleased that the additional economic incentives for the 500-room expansion have been approved by the Prince George's County Council. The National's expansion to 2,000 rooms is great news for both our convention customers and Prince George's County, which will now be home to the finest convention hotel on the East Coast," said Reed. "We have already seen a tremendous amount of demand for the Gaylord National hotel, and believe that it will be a strong anchor for the National Harbor harbor: see port.  project."

The Company announced on July 26, 2006, that it had entered into a letter of intent with the Unified Port of San Diego The Port of San Diego is a self-supporting public benefit corporation established in 1963 by an act of the California State Legislature. The Port Act says that the policy of the State of California is to develop the harbors and ports of the State for multiple uses that benefit all  and the City of Chula Vista Chula Vista (ch`lə), city (1990 pop. 135,163), San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1911.  to develop a 1,500 to 2,000 room convention hotel in Chula Vista, California. The project is subject to definitive documentation and additional approvals including, among others, the California Coastal Commission The California Coastal Commission is a state agency in the U.S. state of California with quasi-judicial regulatory influence over land use and public access in the California coastal zone. . On its current schedule, the Company expects the project to break ground in 2008 and to be completed in 2010.

"Customers have told us a Gaylord Hotel on the West Coast would be a very attractive meetings destination, so we are pleased with the progress we have made in Chula Vista. There is much yet to be done to make this project a reality," said Reed. "We look forward to continuing our discussions with the Port and the City of Chula Vista to develop a world-class world-class

In the second quarter of 2006, Gaylord incurred $37.4 million in capital expenditures related to the construction of the Gaylord National. The hotel is expected to open in the beginning of the second quarter of 2008, while the Company expects the 500-room expansion to open in the third quarter of 2008.

Outlook

The following outlook is based on current information as of August 3, 2006. The Company does not expect to update guidance until next quarter's earnings release. However, the Company may update its full business outlook or any portion thereof at any time for any reason.

"At Gaylord Hotels we continue to experience strong booking trends. We anticipate having a strong second half of 2006 as our group-focused model delivers on solid advance bookings. Despite energy related cost pressures we expect to deliver strong profitability. We are therefore raising our full year CCF guidance range to $166 to $171 million," said Reed. "In addition, our pipeline remains exceptionally strong and because our same-store advance bookings reached record levels this quarter, we are revising our guidance range on advance bookings to 1.4 to 1.5 million room nights."

"ResortQuest is experiencing business trends consistent with those described last quarter. Travelers are visiting our destinations in smaller numbers than in the past years, largely due to weather related issues in past years and high fuel prices. Our guidance for this segment remains unchanged."

Gaylord's 2006 outlook reflects approximately 18,600 room nights out of service due to the room renovation at the Gaylord Opryland.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. These include the risks and uncertainties associated with economic conditions affecting the hospitality business generally, the timing of the opening of new facilities, increased costs associated with building and developing new hotel facilities, business levels at the Company's hotels, risks associated with ResortQuest's business, the Company's ability to successfully integrate and achieve operating efficiencies at ResortQuest, and the ability to obtain financing for new developments. The Company's ability to achieve forecasted results for its ResortQuest business depends upon levels of occupancy at ResortQuest units under management, returning damaged units to service on a timely basis and the successful roll-out of new ResortQuest technology initiatives. Other factors that could cause operating and financial results to differ are described in the filings made from time to time by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
