Cowboys invented the handlebar mustache so they'd always have somewhere to hang their hat. Save yourself the grooming time with today's Groupon: for $199, you get an overnight stay on either a Saturday or Sunday in a one-bedroom executive suite at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, located at the National Harbor (up to a $675 value). Resort fees and taxes are included in this deal. Two Groupons can be purchased for consecutive night stays, although reservations are based on availability, and there is no guarantee that both nights on a given weekend will be available.
Perched on the banks of the Potomac River, Gaylord National Resort welcomes its guests with a majestic 18-story glass atrium housing fluttering fountains and fully formed foliage. The 2,000-room hotel offers a variety of rooms and suites for all tastes and types of travelers—with this deal, guests will get a one-night stay in a one-bedroom executive suite. Each spacious suite offers sleeping accommodations for up to four people inside 850–1,000 square feet of luxurious lodging accented with marble finishes and custom furnishings. The dining area seats six, allowing you to invite over fellow Lost fans for a round-table discussion on Walt's unresolved storyline.
The resort fee included in this deal also grants guests access to many of the hotel's amenities, in-room high-speed Internet access, entry to the hotel's fitness center, and two bottles of water per day. Grab a bite to eat at Gaylord National Resort's Old Hickory Steakhouse, or grab cocktails with the ghost of Hannibal Hamlin at the two-story Pose Ultra Lounge and Nightclub, located on the hotel's 18th floor.
Gaylord National Resort is roughly 10 miles south from the democratic derring-do of downtown Washington, DC, and the hotel is holding two exciting events this summer. Until September 6, Gaylord National Resort is hosting SummerFest, with fireworks lighting up the sky every Saturday night, an atrium fountain show each night, live music, sand sculptures of DC monuments on display in the atrium, Madame Tussauds Washington DC's wax figures in the lobby, and more. On July 4, Gaylord National Resort will celebrate the nation's 234th birthday with a spectacular fireworks celebration, live music, a wine and cigar garden for adults, and a kids' zone with rides, clowns, and carnival activities. Avoid the trouble of creating Tauntaun lodging and instead book a room at Gaylord National Resort.
This Groupon is only valid for use on Saturday or Sunday nights.

Groupon Says
Can You Keep a Secret Identity?
When staying at a hotel, there's no need to reserve a room under your real name, allowing you to temporarily adopt a secret identity. Here are some famous secret identities:
You Know Him As: Superman
Real Name: Clark Kent
The Story: This mild-mannered news reporter won several Pulitzers for his investigative articles, including "Gee, Superman Is Handsome" and "Local Reporter Looks a Lot Like Superman."
You Know Him As: Thomas Jefferson
Real Name: George Washington
The Story: Tired of his post-presidency work teaching karate to at-risk teens, Washington re-entered the political sphere with a new name and the same face. Examine a nickel and a dollar bill; Washington and Jefferson are the same person.
You Know Him As: Dad
Real Name: Daedalus 5, The Thinking Computer
The Story: It is now estimated that two thirds of adults were replaced with android replicas sometime in the 1980s. Older models can be identified by their inability to get wet without exploding and their vocabulary limited to "I love you" and "Kill."
