YK08 - The Discussion Continues

There has been some great discussion on where Yearly Kos might go next year, but I would like to see some in depth as to the highs and lows of the spots that keep coming up.

I have already seen two diaries about where we would like to have YearlyKos 2008, so yeah I know that we have already seen some discussion.  As a disclaimer, I live on the west coast, have a very expensive teenager, so I am looking for something within my budget for next year.  I attended the Las Vegas event, but had to bow out of the Chicago event due to cost.

After reading the other diaries, I saw names come up over and over as suggested venues and thought that a discussion of the relative merits might be in order.  Things like cost, travel, unionization, weather, and hell, good restaurants and bars.

If you so choose, feel free to vote and discuss why your choice should be picked.  I liked the earlier discussion, but hontestly didn't think the poll represented the favorite places.
