                    GAYLORD ENTERTAINMENT CO. REPORTS STRONG
                             SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

    STRONG OPERATING PERFORMANCE ACROSS BUSINESS SEGMENTS DRIVES 13.2 PERCENT
    INCREASE IN REVENUE AND 33.7 PERCENT INCREASE IN CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOW


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 28, 2005) -- Gaylord Entertainment Co. (NYSE: GET) today
reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2005.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2005:

    o     Consolidated revenues increased 13.2 percent to $228.8 million from
          $202.1 million in the same period last year. Results were impacted
          favorably by strong hospitality segment performance.

    o     Net loss was $0.4 million, or a loss of $0.01 per share, which is an
          improvement from the prior year's quarter loss of $22.6 million, or a
          loss of $0.57 per share. Net loss in the second quarter 2005 was
          affected by a $3.6 million pre-tax net unrealized gain in the value of
          the company's Viacom stock investment and related derivatives,
          compared to a pre-tax net unrealized loss of $25.5 million in the
          second quarter of 2004.

    o     Hospitality segment total revenue grew 15.4 percent to $147.7 million,
          compared to $128.0 million in the prior-year quarter, due to a
          significant improvement at the Gaylord Texan and overall strong
          results from both the Gaylord Opryland and the Gaylord Palms.

    o     ResortQuest revenue per available room(1) ("RevPAR") increased 3.1
          percent to $80.04 in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same
          period last year.

    o     Adjusted EBITDA(2) in the second quarter was $33.7 million compared to
          $19.4 million in the prior-year quarter.

    o     Consolidated Cash Flow(3) ("CCF") increased 33.7 percent to $37.3
          million in the quarter, compared to $27.9 million in the prior-year
          quarter.



"The second quarter represents another outstanding performance for Gaylord
Entertainment, driven by robust rate and occupancy from our hospitality
segment," said Colin V. Reed, chairman and chief executive officer of Gaylord
Entertainment. "In the quarter, we continued our strong momentum in the
hospitality segment, generating higher network-wide revenues and strong margin
performance at all of our destinations, most notably the Gaylord Texan. Three
years of laying the strong foundation for our hospitality brand by demanding the
highest standards have come to fruition as reflected by these results. As we
invest in and cultivate our ResortQuest subsidiary, we are confident that our
shareholders will see comparable results as we extend our brand-building
strategy to the vacation rental market."




                                                                               2

SEGMENT OPERATING RESULTS

HOSPITALITY

Key components of the company's hospitality segment performance in the second
quarter of 2005 include:

    o     Gaylord Hotels Total RevPAR(4) increased 15.1 percent to $266.08,
          compared to second quarter 2004; revenue per available room(1)
          ("RevPAR") increased 9.5 percent to $115.30, compared to the
          prior-year quarter.

    o     CCF increased 34.0 percent to $40.6 million for the second quarter of
          2005 compared to $30.3 million for the second quarter of 2004. CCF
          margins for the hospitality segment increased 3.8 percentage points to
          27.5 percent for the second quarter from 23.7 percent in the
          prior-year quarter.

    o     Gaylord Hotels, excluding Gaylord National, booked net definite room
          nights of 296,000 in the second quarter of 2005, bringing the 2005
          year-to-date figure to 460,000. Gaylord National booked 93,000 net
          definite room nights in the second quarter of 2005, bringing total net
          definite room nights to 228,000.


"Total RevPAR growth outpaced RevPAR growth for the fifth consecutive quarter,
demonstrating the strength of our hospitality strategy," said Reed.
"Additionally in the second quarter, average daily rate ("ADR") gains outpaced
occupancy gains in driving RevPAR growth for the network overall. Taken
together, these metrics illustrate our success at attracting high-value
customers and driving 'outside the room' revenue. Going forward, we will
continue to execute our proven strategy to drive both inside and outside the
room revenue through our superior entertainment and dining offerings."


At the property level, Gaylord Palms posted a strong performance this quarter in
CCF growth driven by a significant increase in ADR. ADR was up 6.5 percent to
$173.26 compared to $162.61 in the prior-year quarter. Occupancy was slightly
down to 76.5 percent compared to 77.3 percent a year ago. The significant
increase in ADR coupled with a marginal occupancy decrease resulted in strong
RevPAR growth of 5.5 percent to $132.60 in the second quarter of 2005 from
$125.71 in the prior-year quarter. A solid increase in food and beverage
spending from group attendees drove a 14.3 percent increase in Total RevPAR to
$345.76 in the second quarter of 2005 versus $302.56 in the prior-year quarter.
CCF increased 27.6 percent to $13.4 million compared to $10.5 million in the
prior-year quarter, resulting in a CCF margin of 30.2 percent, a 3.1 percentage
point increase over the second quarter of 2004.


The Gaylord Opryland generated RevPAR of $108.69 in the second quarter of 2005
versus $109.03 in the prior-year period, a marginal decrease of 0.3 percent.
RevPAR decreased due to an ADR decline of 1.2 percent to $141.24 in the second
quarter of 2005 compared to $143.00 in the prior-year quarter. Occupancy
increased by 0.8 percentage points to 77.0 percent. Total RevPAR grew 6.2
percent to $226.38 in the second quarter of 2005 compared to $213.20 in the
prior-year quarter, due to an increase in food and beverage and other ancillary
revenues. CCF was in line with last year's results at $15.9 million versus $16.1
million in the second quarter 2004. CCF margin declined 1.8 percentage points to
26.9 percent in the second quarter of 2005. Gaylord Opryland's financial
performance in the second quarter was impacted by the commencement in May 2005
of a multi-year room refurbishment program, which removed 120




                                                                               3

rooms from available inventory. This refurbishment program is expected to be
completed by December 2007.


For the Gaylord Texan, RevPAR and Total RevPAR increased significantly in the
second quarter of 2005 versus the prior-year quarter due to increased occupancy
and a better mix of higher quality groups. Occupancy increased 11.7 percentage
points in the second quarter of 2005 to 75.7 percent with ADR increasing 18.6
percent from the prior-year period to $161.01. RevPAR increased 40.2 percent to
$121.84 from $86.91 in the second quarter of 2004. Total RevPAR at the Gaylord
Texan was $305.34 in the second quarter of 2005, an increase of 32.7 percent
from $230.16 in the prior-year quarter. CCF increased to $10.7 million from $3.2
million in the second quarter of 2005, resulting in a CCF margin of 25.5
percent, a 15.4 percentage point increase over the second quarter of 2004.


"Our success with the Texan, as it entered its second year of operation, has
further demonstrated the strength of our rotational strategy," said Reed. "In
addition, the Gaylord Hotels brand, which represents the highest standards of
performance and customer service, continues to strengthen with each new
property. This success gives us the confidence to pursue additional
opportunities to expand our network of meetings-focused hotels."


"While our same-store advance bookings are lower than the record levels achieved
in 2004, we remain on track to accomplish our 1.3 to 1.4 million room night
guidance," continued Reed. "Also, construction of the Gaylord National, our
Washington, D.C. area hotel, continues to progress with advance bookings
exceeding our expectations. Excitement is clearly building among our meeting
planners and our customer base for its scheduled opening in the first quarter of
2008."



RESORTQUEST

ResortQuest second quarter 2005 revenues were $62.3 million compared to $57.2
million in second quarter 2004. Second quarter 2005 operating loss was $1.4
million compared to operating income of $1.0 million in the second quarter 2004.
ResortQuest CCF decreased to $1.6 million for the period versus $4.9 million in
the second quarter of 2004. Second quarter 2005 results included increased
reinvestment in brand-building initiatives, such as technology, marketing and
organizational improvements. In addition, the timing of the Easter holiday
period, a strong vacation travel period, shifted from the second quarter 2004 to
the first quarter 2005 making comparisons less favorable.



"As we have said before, the turnaround of ResortQuest continues to make
progress," said Reed. "The second quarter saw the company make substantial
investments in human capital, in technology infrastructure, and in marketing
initiatives to propel the brand forward."



Second quarter 2005 RevPAR increased to $80.04, or 3.1 percent over second
quarter 2004. ADR increased 8.6 percent to $162.47 from $149.59 in the second
quarter of 2004, while occupancy decreased 2.6 percentage points to 49.3
percent. ResortQuest had 18,798 units under exclusive management at the end of
the second quarter of 2005.





                                                                               4

By the end of the second quarter, over 90 percent of ResortQuest units damaged
in last summer's Florida hurricanes had been returned to service.



On June 1, 2005, Gaylord Entertainment completed its purchase of the Aston
Waikiki Beach Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii for $107 million. Simultaneously,
Gaylord Entertainment completed the sale of an 80.1 percent interest in the
hotel to a private real estate fund managed by DB Real Estate Opportunities
Group. ResortQuest will continue to manage the hotel under a new 20-year
management agreement, and the company will account for its 19.9 percent
ownership interest in the hotel under the equity method of accounting.

 "The foundation for the brand is taking shape," continued Reed. "In late 2005
and early 2006, we expect to roll out a newly-designed, industry-leading web
site and comprehensive enterprise property management system. Once our
technology systems have been fully rolled out and the Total Satisfaction
Guarantee implemented throughout the business, we expect this brand to emerge
and create significant value for our shareholders."



OPRY AND ATTRACTIONS

Opry and Attractions segment revenues increased to $18.7 million in the second
quarter of 2005 compared to $16.8 million in the second quarter of 2004. Opry
and Attractions reported operating income of $2.2 million for the period
compared to an operating loss of $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2004. CCF
improved by 51.1 percent to $3.2 million in the second quarter 2005 from $2.1
million in the prior-year quarter. Revenue and CCF gains in the second quarter
were due to the Opry's solid financial performance compared to last year. The
Opry benefited from an increase in show attendance and from the continued
strategy of broadening the reach of the Opry brand through increased
sponsorship, licensing and merchandising opportunities.


"We are excited that the Grand Ole Opry is entering its 80th anniversary season.
We plan to commemorate this momentous occasion with a celebration in Nashville
and by producing an event this November at Carnegie Hall in New York City," said
Reed. "We are also taking the Grand Ole Opry signature blend of authentic
American music directly to our fans through a summer tour. People will get to
experience the timeless nature of the Opry's music in the comfort of their
neighborhood music hall. 'An Evening with the Grand Ole Opry' national tour
began on May 28, 2005 and will continue into 2006."



CORPORATE AND OTHER

Corporate and Other operating loss totaled $10.1 million for the second quarter
of 2005, compared to an operating loss of $11.6 million for the second quarter
of 2004. Corporate and Other operating losses in the second quarter 2005 and
2004 included non-cash charges of $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
Non-cash charges include items such as depreciation and amortization, and, for
the second quarter of 2004, the non-cash portion of the Naming Rights Agreement
expense. Corporate and Other CCF improved to a loss of $8.2 million in the
second quarter of 2005 compared to a loss of $9.4 million in the second quarter
of 2004.







                                                                               5


BASS PRO SHOPS

In the second quarter, Bass Pro restated its previously issued historical
financial statements to reflect certain non-cash changes, which resulted
primarily from a change in the manner in which Bass Pro accounts for its
long-term leases. In response to a February 7, 2005 letter issued by the Office
of the Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission to the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, a number of companies
(including Bass Pro), primarily in the retail industry, have reviewed their
lease accounting practices and restated their historical financial statements to
conform with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP").
Gaylord Entertainment has reflected its share of Bass Pro's restatement as a
one-time adjustment to the company's results for the second quarter 2005, which
reduced Gaylord's equity in Bass Pro earnings by $1.7 million. Including this
one-time adjustment, Gaylord's equity income from its investment in Bass Pro,
for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, was a loss of $1.7 million.

Bass Pro currently operates 26 stores and has stated that it plans to add 16
stores over the next two years.



LIQUIDITY

At June 30, 2005, the company had long-term debt outstanding (including current
portion) of $583.1 million and unrestricted and restricted cash and short term
investments of $109.2 million. The company also had a $600 million credit
facility which remains undrawn, aside from $17.7 million in letters of credit
that are currently outstanding under the facility.



OUTLOOK

The following outlook is based on current information as of July 28, 2005. 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.


"We are making significant progress in growing our business, both our
hospitality and ResortQuest segments, as we continue to work very hard at laying
the foundation of the brands that will create value for years to come," said
Reed.


"Our hospitality business continues to benefit from increased occupancy of
higher-value customers allowing us to remain on track for another year of solid
growth. However, two factors, one planned and one unplanned, continue to affect
our ResortQuest business. As we previously noted, we will continue to invest
substantially in improving ResortQuest's technology infrastructure and marketing
initiatives. On July 10th, Hurricane Dennis hit northwest Florida and affected
ResortQuest's operations and customer demand during its peak summer beach season
- - and also came at a time when the northwest Florida operations were completing
the recovery from an unprecedented 2004 hurricane season. The impact of this
rare July hurricane





                                                                               6

(only the second hurricane since 1900 to hit northwest Florida in July) has led
us to decide that we should reduce 2005 guidance for consolidated revenues and
Consolidated Cash Flow," concluded Reed.

This press release contains statements as to the company's beliefs and
expectations of the outcome of future events that are forward-looking statements
as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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, costs associated with developing new hotel facilities, business
levels at the company's hotels, risks associated with ResortQuest's business and
the company's ability to successfully integrate and achieve operating
efficiencies at





                                                                               7

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 and
returning damaged units to service on a timely basis. In the hospitality
segment, the company's ability to continue to improve occupancy levels and
operating efficiencies at its new Gaylord Texan Resort will be an important
factor in 2005. 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. The company does not undertake any
obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements made
by it to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or the
occurrence of unanticipated events.

(1)The company calculates revenue per available room ("RevPAR") for its
hospitality segment by dividing room sales by room nights available to guests
for the period. The company calculates revenue per available room ("RevPAR") for
its ResortQuest segment by dividing gross lodging revenues by room nights
available to guests for the period. Our ResortQuest segment revenue represents a
portion of the gross lodging revenues based on the services provided by
ResortQuest. ResortQuest segment revenue and operating expenses include certain
reimbursed management contract expenses incurred in the period of $10.3 million
and $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.


(2)Adjusted EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization, as well as certain unusual items) is used herein because we
believe it allows for a more complete analysis of operating performance by
presenting an analysis of operations separate from the earnings impact of
capital transactions and without certain items that do not impact our ongoing
operations such as the effect of the changes in fair value of the Viacom stock
we own and changes in the fair value of the derivative associated with our
secured forward exchange contract and gains on the sale of assets. In accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, the changes in fair value of the
Viacom stock and derivatives are not included in determining our operating
income (loss). The information presented should not be considered as an
alternative to any measure of performance as promulgated under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (such as operating income,
net income, or cash from operations), nor should it be considered as an
indicator of overall financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not fully
consider the impact of investing or financing transactions, as it specifically
excludes depreciation and interest charges, which should also be considered in
the overall evaluation of our results of operations. Our method of calculating
adjusted EBITDA may be different from the method used by other companies and
therefore comparability may be limited. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to
net income is presented in the Supplemental Financial Results of this release.

(3)As noted in footnote 2 above, adjusted EBITDA is used herein as essentially
operating income plus depreciation and amortization. Consolidated Cash Flow
(which is used in this release as that term is defined in the Indentures
governing the Company's 8% and 6.75% senior notes) also excludes the impact of
pre-opening costs, the non-cash portion of the naming rights and Florida ground
lease expense, impairment and other charges, non-recurring ResortQuest
integration charges which when added to other expenses related to the merger do
not exceed $10 million, the non-cash gain on the sale of the songs.com domain
name, the Ryman Auditorium parking lot and other fixed assets and adds
(subtracts) other gains (losses). The Consolidated Cash Flow measure is one of
the principal tools used by management in evaluating the operating performance
of the company's business and represents the method by which the Indenture
calculates whether or not the company can incur additional indebtedness (for
instance in order to incur certain additional indebtedness, Consolidated Cash
Flow for the most recent four fiscal quarters as a ratio to debt service must be
at least 2 to 1). The calculation of these amounts as well as a reconciliation
of those amounts to net income or segment operating income is included as part
of the Supplemental Financial Results contained in this press release.

(4)The company calculates total revenue per available room ("Total RevPAR") by
dividing the sum of room sales, food & beverage, and other ancillary services
revenue by room nights available to guests for the period.
