[QUOTE="Sky King, post: 865423, member: 7171"] Here is a list of the world's largest hotels. Unfortunately, none of them are located in WI. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_hotels[/URL] Even with 3,774 hotel rooms within 1 mile of the Milwaukee convention center location, that still falls far short of the number of rooms needed to host 200,000+ attendees. That's almost 60,000 less than Las Vegas offers on the Strip alone, where the draft festivities will be conducted.
