Area Attractions

Gaylord Texan is centrally located in the heart of Texas, just outside Dallas-Fort Worth, and near fantastic theme parks, sports arenas and local attractions. Take the family out to the ballpark for a baseball game at Ameriquest Field or catch an NBA or NHL game at American Airlines Center. What visit would be complete without a visit to Cowboys Stadium, home of America's team—The Dallas Cowboys.

Enjoy the water at nearby Silver Marina on Lake Grapevine where you can rent a boat or grab a burger at the lakeside restaurant. Shop to your heart's content at Grapevine Mills Mall. Shopping may get your pulse rate up, but to really get it racing, check out the new Wild West at the Mesquite Championship Rodeo or sample the wild rides at Six Flags Over Texas.

Once you've chosen your activities, our concierge professionals can help with your planning needs by purchasing tickets to local attractions, making reservations, scheduling tee times, and assist with special requests.

American Airlines Center

The award-winning home to the NBA's Dallas Mavericks and the NHL's Dallas Stars, American Airlines Center is the anchor of the 72-acre Victory Park mixed-used development.

American Airlines Center features a one-of-a-kind retractable seating system that reduces conversion time between basketball and hockey configurations. The unique design creates great sightlines so that you'll have a great view no matter where you sit.

Aesthetically pleasing décor including terrazzo floors, windows, crown molding and painted walls and a five concourse design create an open, easy to navigate and visually stunning entertainment venue.

Grapevine Mills Mall

Haven't satisfied your inner-shopper with the luxurious on-site shops at the Gaylord Texan? No worries. There's 1.6 million square feet of shopping heaven just minutes away at the Grapevine Mills Mall. With over 180 stores, 29 restaurants and a movie theater, Grapevine Mills has something for everyone.

Six Flags Over Texas

Thrill-seekers come in all sizes, which is why Six Flags Over Texas has rides for little ones and adrenaline junkies alike. Over 100 rides, including a 255-foot tall, 85-mile-per-hour roller coaster, means excitement is around every corner. And when you're not on a ride, you'll never lack for entertainment with an array of concerts, street performers and even a parade.

Right across the street is Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, the largest water park in the Southwest.
