I spent a week or so in Nashville last spring...here's the first set of the Nashville pictures! We stayed at the Gaylord Opryland. You can read more about it here. It is the largest non-casino hotel in the world and the largest hotel in the United States outside Las Vegas. It's actually a pretty neat place but being there for so many hours...we ended up going to downtown Nashville a few times just to get away.
Here's the Italian restaurant inside of Opryland...Ristorante Volare.
Beef Stew Soup...nice bowls!
...and a nice pork chop with a demi-glace and artichokes.
Nighttime inside Opryland. There are quite a few of these huge atriums scattered throughout the complex. This is the Cascades area.
Another restaurant in the complex...Jack Daniel's Saloon.
Ready to dig in...
With a generous helping of Jack Daniel's BBQ sauce...anything'll taste good.
Oooh...back to Ristorante Volare...honestly, it wasn't THAT bad...and this restaurant was probably the most affordable one there so you really couldn't expect too much.
Hey...with the right amount of wine, everything is great!
Neat dessert!
Back in the Cascades area...waiting in line for...
...sushi at Wasabi's Sushi. Pretty much supermarket quality. Maybe slightly better.
Another restaurant inside Opryland (there are tons)...Stax Burgers. Lol...funny pose!
Stay away from it at all costs unless you REALLY REALLY need a burger...be prepared to sauce it up like crazy.
Here are a few daytime shots of the Delta area...probably the biggest of the areas inside of Opryland.
There's even a boat ride inside. The "Delta" river had water from every recorded river in the world added in. There's a plaque listing all the rivers that they took samples from...it's a really really long list.
Kind of like Disneyland right? Definitely not as fun...and the whole indoors/outdoors thing was odd. I seriously didn't step outside of the hotel for the first couple days.
