	Opryland USA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Opryland USA (later called Opryland Themepark and typically called simply Opryland) was a theme park located in Nashville, Tennessee.
		For example: Opryland Hotel, Opryland Themepark, and the Grand Ole Opry were all components of Opryland USA, as were the Ryman Auditorium and Wildhorse Saloon, which are located a few miles away in downtown Nashville.
		The "Opryland USA" name disappeared permanently in 2001 when Gaylord repositioned itself, and all the Nashville properties were bundled into the newly renamed "Gaylord Opryland Resort".

	Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Originally built by the National Life and Accident Insurance Company, Opryland Hotel was sold to then-Oklahoma City-based Gaylord Broadcasting Company (which soon after changed its name to Gaylord Entertainment Company) in 1982, along with most of National Life's entertainment properties, including WSM radio, Opryland USA, and the Grand Ole Opry.
		In 1999, the new Gaylord subsidiary "Opryland Lodging Group," which was formed in 1997 to plan expansions, was renamed "Opryland Hotels" as it began to see its plans for sister properties in Kissimmee, Florida and Grapevine, Texas come to fruition.
		The Opryland Hotels division was renamed "Gaylord Hotels," and the Florida property was given the name "Gaylord Palms." The Texas hotel was initially going to be called "Gaylord Opryland Texas," but was later changed to "Gaylord Texan," after more market research concluded it needed an identity of its own.

		My elderly mother insisted on staying at the "famous" Opryland Hotel when she recently visited me. I knew about the resort's beautiful gardens and Christmas light displays, which are both quite remarkable.
		Maybe Opryland can drop their prices to to the more "common" and "standard" $99 rate offered by "most" hotels.
		If you insist on staying at the Opryland, plan on spending an hour arguing for a suitable room and bring some disinfectant wipes for the cleaning you'll probably wind up doing yourself.
