I would think that the new DIA hotel would be an additional amenity for many convention attendees. Depending on timing/scheduling I could see many moving to the airport for one night to be right there for when their flight leaves the next morning etc.
Once Gaylord opens up I would guess that Visit Denver, in addition to the normal freebies, might want to purchase some nice display advertising. I also wonder if Visit Denver could purchase advertising at convention sites with reservations for Gaylord? "Special one/two-night stay in vibrant downtown Denver for those attending XYZ."
Gaylord still has a "reserved" site in Mesa (BFE) AZ. That was arranged before the Great Recession hit (with a vengeance down here). Plus I'm sure Gaylord got a better offer from Aurora considering the state's contribution. I still think it's cool that Aurora is "paying" to entice Gaylord to Denver's doorstep. I mean it's not called "Aurora International Airport."
