As one of the many pissed off and jealous because a trip to Vegas just isn't feasable right now I'd like to nominate Biloxi because:

A. The Bible Belt needs a wake up

B. Casinos/Hotels with good accomodations, conference space, etc..

C. 1 Hour from New Orleans.

D. Pretty beaches (but don't swim in the water. There's a ferry to the barrier islands where the water is cleaner.)

E. I live here.

Also I can put up about 5-6 people if anyone needs to save on hotel rates.

As a second (and probably better) choice New Orleans. Ok, so one musician got shot. It's not like we don't have more.
 
New Orleans is not a bad suggestion
1) i've never been there
2) great party town
3) i could freely use the term "show us your Ti%$" as long as i have some stupid beads

or else NYC
1) i live there
2) plenty to do
3) give the east coast JREFers a break from trekking to Vegas (i hear vegas is in a desert. yes, a desert!!!i bet most of the people attending TAM2 are in for a rude awakening, you'll get no water from me)
 
London. (Expensive though)

Elsewhere in England. Seaside resorts are cheap in January and have conference facilities. Brighton, Blackpool, Eastbourne, etc.

Rio. Cheap except for the air fair

New Zealand. Also cheap once you're there.

Seriously, with cheap air tickets, some of these more unlikely sounding venues could be cheaper than the USA, especially for European TAM-goers.
 
Reno. Granted it's int he same state as Vegas but it's much cheaper and Tahoe is nearby.

Of course the fact that I live a half hour from it in no way biases my suggestion.

Barring that New Orleans sounds good.
 
NYC. Definitely.

I can't go to New Orleans. I would probably relapse and start drinking again. There's just something about that place. The blues bars. Man oh man.

And outside of the French Quarter, you are taking your life in your hands.

Biloxi doesn't have much to offer except the casinos there. And New Orleans is too close. Nice beach, though.

NYC has it all. Broadway shows. Empire State Building at night. Bronx zoo. Museums of every sort. Great food! The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. David Letterman. Great food! FAO Schwartz. Central Park. Did I mention the great food?

One would have to stay for longer than the TAM to see all this stuff. It would be a shame to travel all the way to NYC and miss out on what is there.
 
NYC here too! NYC has it all, it's irresistible. :) Maybe it could also be in early February, when ticket prices lower considerably everywhere?

Right! Just because it's an American-based organisation doesn't mean it has to stay in America!

Ach, it's worth a try. :p
 
London or near london. It's such a big air hub that you can get there from pretty much anywhere with no problem the locals speak english and you would get more europeans turning up.
 
There is land away from the North American continent you know. Some JREFers do live in these outlying areas.
