Thanks to all of your help, we have decided that Las Vegas is the best location for the 2008 convention (it won by a pretty decent margin). So now we’re trying to decide when the best date for the convention is. Since the last survey was so helpful, I’ve decided to put another together:
As one who has worked on convention organization for several conventions in Las Vegas, note that it is the #1 convention city and, consequently, hotel rooms and convention space, regardless of how large or small, gets booked up fast. Larger conventions are booked years in advance. If we thought we had problems getting space in Orlando for certain weekends, Las Vegas could be worse. The better the weather in Vegas (i.e., Spring, Fall, or Winter), the harder it is to get convention space and hotel rooms. If one is willing to have a convention in mid-July or August, it’s a little easier.
