Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Newly Issued Accounting Standards	*Newly Issued Accounting Standards* In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” the core principle of which is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Under this guidance, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These judgments may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018, and the Company plans to adopt this standard at that time using the modified retrospective approach. The Company has completed a revenue stream scoping process and has made significant progress toward completing its assessment of how the new ASU will impact the amount and timing of the various revenue streams recorded in its financial statements. While the Company is still finalizing the assessment in conjunction with Marriott, due to the short-term, day-to-day nature of the Company’s hospitality and entertainment segment revenues, the pattern of revenue recognition is not expected to change significantly. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases,” that requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheet, but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to previous accounting. The ASU also eliminates the required use of bright-line tests for determining lease classification. The ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019 and requires a modified retrospective approach, with restatement of prior periods. The primary impact of the adoption will be the inclusion of the Company’s 75-year ground lease at Gaylord Palms on its balance sheet. See Note 12 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for a further disclosure of the Company’s outstanding leases. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which will change how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The ASU will replace the current “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this ASU on its financial statements, and such effects have not yet been determined. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost,” which will change how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans present the cost of benefits in the income statement. Under the new guidance, the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost will be presented in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs. In addition, the other components of net periodic benefit cost will be presented separately from service cost and outside of operating income. The ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018, and this adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
