Ok guys, we need to create a "short list" of possible locations, do some rough cost estimates and make a decision (probably within the next 2 months). So far the list is:
Las Vegas, NV
PROS
Plenty of hotels, conference facilities,
Cheap airfare
Abundance of MMA gyms
No shortage of social activities when we get tired of baggin' (I'm just saying, it could happen, right??)
CONS
Not a family oriented destination, generally speaking.
West Coast - not a "central" location (compare to Dallas)
Orlando, FL
PROS
Affordable hotels
cheap airfare (need to confirm, I know Vegas is cheap, but never flown here because I live here).
Family oriented theme parks and other activities
CONS
East coast - not a "central" location
A few gyms, nothing spectacular though. I've not seen any with a decent number of speed bags. (Ruffo's is 2.5 hours away)
Dallas, TX
PROS
"Central" location, feels fair to everyone
CONS
Not as many social activities??? (I mean compared to Orlando and Vegas)
Los Angeles, CA
PROS
Proximity to stars
Good promotional possibilities & exposure
CONS
??? I don't know
Kansas City, KS
PROS
Home base for Ringside/Titleboxing
"Central" location
CONS
Not a fun filled travel destination for families (Hey - I'm just sayin' , I've been there, it's ok)
Please tell me your input , let's discuss this and figure it out !!! Who is familar with these locations? Do we have anyone that's actually been to Ringside and/or Title Boxing in KS? What is their facility like? I know ringside hosts a boxing thing every year. Would they host us ??? Especially now that they are in good graces with Everlast ????
