At my previous position I coordinated conferences. One was 250 One was 400. It takes a long time to get everything including speakers but for the hotels there is the actual host and always spill over hotels too. The anchor hotel in Charlottesville worked with smaller hotels all the time. The anchor was operating in a full schedule and the spill overs were certainly expecting those room sales.

Not on a Vegas schedule but there are Omnis and Doubletrees and Hamptons Suites etc all over who are built and staffed for nothing but this.

Just a few weeks ago I did a virtual that’s usually at Va Beach in the dead of December for 700 people in hotels.
