Well, I hate to mention THIS:
   Vegas is a world hub... Cheap airlines in and out constantly.  
International flights to/from every country on the globe that has an 
airport (1 layover max).  Mixed population of both visitors and 
residents, you're bound to find someone who speaks your native language 
within a few hundred meters.  Cheap hotels (not necessarily on the 
strip), and deffinately more than enough hotel rooms for the mesely 
amount of people we could bring in (the population grows by 1 million+ 
every Friday through Sunday before returning to normal on Monday).  
Plus, I'm sure there's a convention center type place that would rent 
out floorspace fairly cheap, beit a real convention center or the local 
University.

   And since I live in Vegas, some of you can stay at my house =P...
   but not all of you...
