World-Renowned Destination

Because of the size and quality of the Gaylord Hotel and Convention Center destination, Mesa has called it a "statement project" that will not only have a significant impact on the city and the state, but the entire Southwest.  Gaylord provides its customers with an "everything-in-one-place" model with exceptional customer service, flexible and state-of-the-art meeting space, and world-class restaurants and entertainment.  Many of Gaylord’s conventions are too large to accommodate all of the visitors, thus other hotels in the area will directly benefit from the overflow.  Gaylord's network of hotels and convention centers allows them to book customers into multi-year, multi-location, rotational contracts. Gaylord Entertainment has a proven track record of booking thousands of rooms up to four years in advance. 

"This type of tourism is what Mesa needs as the benefits of the community reach far and wide from the creation of jobs, boosting the economy, lowering taxes and enhancing the quality of life."
