Aurora is so eager to have Gaylord Entertainment build its giant convention center/hotel/resort there that it’s pushing for a $300 million tax subsidy for the project — but only if Gaylord doesn’t use the word “Denver” in the name of the hotel. Other options?
Here’s our top five runners-up:
6. Brown-Cloud Palace
5. Mile Hyatt Suburb

Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. If Westword matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
4. The Aurora Tauer
3. $800 Million Home on the Range
2. The Hotel a $60 Cab Ride Away From a Good Restaurant
