One of the best things about staying at a conference hotel is that you can meet people at (and get kicked out of :-)) bars, hot tubs, etc. But just because our rooms are a mile or two away doesn't mean we couldn't stay at the conference hotel until late, anyhow. At the Sun User Group in Miami Beach a coupla Decembers ago, quite a few conferees were in another hotel a block or so away. Except that there weren't really blocks involved, just a lovely moonlight or early morning hike down the beach that nobody minded at all. We were never kicked out of anything, including the conference hotel's nifty pool/grotto that was far nicer than our hotel's pool. Everything on The Strip was abominably expensive, but they were all convenient.
