Our company was on the SF Peninsula for 30+ years. We always have our user meetings in Las Vegas because of the cost to users. Las Vegas was about 1/10 the cost of Burlingame, CA when you consider the hotel and meeting room and travel cost. No place is cheaper to get to than Las Vegas, from anywhere in the world. Las Vegas can take care of a million people any day of the year. We had our meetings at the Mandalay Bay and MGM grand. Both are cheaper than the small places. You can have 150 people for under $1,000 plus refreshments. What we did was go online and look at room costs. Pick a day that has cheap rates because that means there are no major conferences like the CES. Anything between October and May will have good weather. The summer is cheaper, but it is very hot (but dry so better than Orlando at the same temp). Of course everything is airconditioned so it is tolerable. Next year, Las Vegas will open the world's tallest ferris wheel, taller than London. Google 'linq las vegas'
