Changing *hotels* is relatively easy, Judy.   Changing *cities* is what the 
rest of us are talking about, and that is much, much harder.   Now, there's 
no question that Bob Reid et al. did a FANTASTIC job reacting to losing our 
hotel a few years ago, and it's a testament to their hard work that the 
move to the Orleans was seamless from the outsider's perspective.   But all the 
other event organizers were well into their planning when that happened, 
and their events were basically unaffected by the change.

Changing back to Las Vegas for 2011 would be a large undertaking.   
Changing to another city entirely would be an *enormous* undertaking and will 
certainly take more than a year.
