Gaylord National
Even if you're not planning to stay the night, consider making a quick stop at the Gaylord National hotel to tour the impressive atrium (which is home to actual buildings, shops, and mini parks). The mammoth hotel and convention center also offers an impressive rooftop lounge, Pose, with a wraparound terrace that boasts insane views of the cityscape.
