Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Plan Administrator of the
LodgeNet Entertainment Corporation 401 (k) Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of LodgeNet Entertainment Corporation 401 (k) Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

LODGENET ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION 401(k) PLAN

Notes to financial statements

December 31, 2003 and 2002

1 Description of the Plan

The following is not a comprehensive description of LodgeNet Entertainment Corporation 401(k) Plan (the Plan) and, therefore, does not include all situations and limitations covered by the Plan. Participants should refer to the plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General and Eligibility

The Plan is a contributory defined contribution plan covering all eligible full and part-time employees of LodgeNet Entertainment Corporation (the “Company”). Employees become eligible to make 401(k) pre-tax contributions to the Plan beginning on January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1 immediately following completion of three consecutive months of service and attaining age 18. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).

Plan Operations

The Company functions as the plan sponsor and administrator. FASCorp is utilized as record keeper and SunTrust Bank is utilized as trustee and asset custodian of the Plan.

Contributions

The maximum percentage of compensation an employee may contribute to the Plan is 50 percent, with an annual maximum contribution as provided by the Code. Participants may also rollover amounts representing distributions from other qualified plans into the Plan. Amounts contributed are invested at the discretion of plan participants in any of the 20 investment options as directed by the participant, one of which is to invest in the common stock of the Company.

The Company may make a discretionary match of participant contributions equal to 50 percent of the first 6 percent of each participant’s eligible contribution for the plan year. Amounts contributed are allocated among the investment funds in the same manner as participant contributions. During 2003, the Company made this discretionary match.

The Company may make additional discretionary contributions to the Plan. In a year in which the Company chooses to make discretionary contributions, the contributions will be allocated based upon a participant’s proportionate share of total compensation for all participants. There were no discretionary contributions in 2003.

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s matching contribution and additional discretionary contribution portions of participant accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of service. A participant is 100 percent vested after five years of credited service based on the following percentages:

If a participant dies or becomes disabled while still employed by the Company, his or her entire plan account balance becomes 100 percent vested.

7

Forfeitures

Forfeitures of the nonvested account balances, resulting from participants who withdraw from the Plan before becoming fully vested in employer contributions and earnings thereon, are used to reduce future employer contributions. Forfeitures were approximately $20,500 in 2003.

Participant Loans

Participants may borrow funds from the Plan up to 50 percent of their vested balance at an interest rate of 1 percent over the prime interest rate at time of loan origination. Loans will not be granted in amounts less than $1,000 or greater than $50,000. Loans are evidenced by a promissory note and have a repayment period of up to five years, unless the loan qualifies as a home loan for which the repayment term is up to 10 years. Interest rates on loans range from 5.00 percent to 9.00 percent, and are due at various dates through April 2017.

Distribution of Benefits

Upon retirement, death, disability, termination of employment or attainment of age 62, a participant, or a participant’s beneficiary in the case of death, may receive the vested portion of the amount credited to the participant’s account by a lump-sum payment.

Account Balances

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and an allocation of Company contributions and Plan earnings. Plan earnings are allocated based on participant account balances as defined. Participants may invest their contributions, and redirect their account balances among the various fund options, including a Company stock fund, on a daily basis. Company contributions are invested in the same investment options as the participant contributions. There are no restrictions on transfers among the various investment options.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following significant accounting policies were used to prepare the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

Investments are recorded at fair value as determined by SunTrust Bank, the trustee of the Plan, by reference to quoted market prices as of December 31, 2003 and 2002.

Investment income is recorded when earned. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date. Participant loans are valued at estimated fair value, consisting of principal outstanding and any related accrued interest. The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.

Plan investment income is allocated to plan participants based on their pro rata account balances.

Plan Expenses

Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company.

Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

8

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risk and Uncertainties

The Plan provides for investments that, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rates, market conditions and credit risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the values of investment securities, it is possible that changes in risk factors in the near term could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the financial statements.

3 Investments

The following presents investments that represent 5 percent or more of the Plan’s net assets:

Net appreciation of investments for the year ended December 31, 2003 consisted of the following:

4 Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated March 25, 2004, that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving such determination letter. However, the Plan administrator believes the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

5 Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of the Plan’s termination, participants will become fully vested in their accounts and assets will be distributed in accordance with the Plan document.

9

6 Party-in-Interest Transactions

The trustee is authorized under contract provisions, or by ERISA regulations providing an administrative or statutory exemption, to invest in funds under its control and in the securities of the Company.

Participant contributions are invested in one or more of the investment fund options under the Plan, including stock of LodgeNet Entertainment Corporation and investment funds under the trustee’s control. In 2003, the amount of such purchases and sales of funds managed by the trustee and of the Company’s stock were as follows:
