SANTA BARBARA, CA � April 02, 2004 - Gaylord Entertainment announced today their installation of Revelation, the point-of-sale (POS) solution from InfoGenesis, at Gaylord Texan. This newest Gaylord property is scheduled to open April 2 in Dallas, Texas. The installation is part three of a phased Revelation rollout at all Gaylord properties including Gaylord Palms in Orlando, Florida, and Gaylord Opryland in Nashville, Tennessee.

We are excited about deploying handhelds, cashless options, and an interface to our table management solution, the first of its kind.�

Technology innovation and integration are major priorities for Gaylord Entertainment at all of its properties. At Gaylord Texan, the InfoGenesis solution includes a technology gateway to provide seamless integration between POS software and other applications�in this case, six hospitality vendors�to deliver a complete and robust solution.

Handhelds provide improved guest satisfaction and service poolside, while Revelation will integrate with USA Technologies to provide a wireless and cashless payment option for Gaylord�s guests.
