}You've got to be joking. It's a nice town, I go there often, but it's not

Of course, you could consider one of us poor inland states ... Des Moines
(pop ~1/3M) has a brand new convention center, an international airport,
and (if you don't come Grand Prix week) hotel rooms, restaurants, bars,
movies, & shopping -- all connected by a climate-controlled skywalk system.
And no doubt, more reasonably priced.
