There is no less expensive city for large conventions.  I attend  
other conventions, and there is one that I will attend in Las Vegas,  
but I won't go to Orlando, as an example, because it costs MUCH  
MORE!  It even costs less to FLY from Washington, DC to Las Vegas  
than to Orlando.  Same for Atlanta.

I am a HUGE fan of Las Vegas.  I would move there if I could get my  
wife to go.  No way she will.  So, I am left with going out six or  
eight times a year.  Of course, I have a reason to go, I get training  
at Front Sight, near Pahrump, but I leave many days in the schedule  
for Las Vegas.

There is a LOT of good food for little money.  One of my favorites is  
Sushi On Tropicana.  There is also Sushi on Rainbow, and (though they  
have changed their name and I don't recall it) Sushi on Sahara.  All  
you can eat Sushi for $20 lunch, and $26 for dinner.  UMMMM!

Then there is the Rio Seafood Buffet (at the south end of the  
resort).  It is WONDERFUL, with lobster tails and sushi on the  
buffet, all for $36!  The World Buffet at the north end REALLY  
SUCKS!  Don't go there!

I could go on and on as far as dining goes.  I can even recommend  
waitresses!

If you shop carefully, you can get a room at the Stratosphere for $25  
a night, and even at Sahara, though they piss me off as they have  
additional fees for the phone.  I have delivered my phone to the  
front desk as a protest, but that doesn't get that bullshit fee off  
my bill.  At one point, some hotels had an "energy fee" for the extra  
cost of electricity.  What crap is that?

Still, get a three star room in any other city for $25 a night!

You can even stay at the Meth Lab 6, and walk from the end of the  
Monorail.  UM, Motel 6.
