I texted back and explained my situation and that I was going to drive to Las Vegas for an exchange. It worked out just fine. Having spent 14 years in the rental car industry, check engine lights don't worry me too much (that's just me). So often it is because when they gassed the car the fuel cap didn't get tightened, so a sensor just went off. Hope you made it to exchange OK!
I did make it back to DEN, and sure enough, the check engine light turned off a few miles from the airport. It was a vehicle I had driven many times before and it was accelerating sluggishly before the light came on, plus it had less than 1,000 miles. I knew it would probably be fine but something was definitely off.
