A lot of that was lost when we moved to the palms and I think it would be totally gone if we moved to the Gold Coast. Yes its cheaper. But its just right across the street so people with the lower budgets can stay there. People can have parties there. But when internext starts to lose even more of its glitz so does its appeal. Im not saying we need to have these things at the four seasons, but keeping it at the palms or somewhere a bit more upscale or something similar I think is important. The Gold Coast reminds me of a Indian Casino. Not Vegas.

The day our industry starts getting so low budget that I feel like I run some corner adult bookstore in the hood is when its time to get out. And the day internext starts to feel like that will be a low low day. Gold coast is nice for a show yes, but the image and low budget feel it would give I think would do more harm than good.
Agreed.

I do not care for the Goldcoast, nor would like to see the conference moved there.
