I've always been wishing for San Antonio, Texas. I visited there for an Alamo Bowl game. What a great city to visit ! Soooo many things within walking distance of the Riverwalk area.

Hotel ? Any along the Riverwalk would do. There are 2 large Marriott properties attached to the Riverwalk. One of them is attached to the convention center itself (which is also situated along the Riverwalk).

The city has alot to see and do. Tons of shopping, tons of eateries and drinking establishments, alot of live entertainment, and oh yeah.. there's some history stuff there too.... the Alamo !!! And some other history sites are nearby like the governor's mansion. I took a short bus tour trip, a few hours long, that took us to the Mission de San Antonio, which is a mission, like the Alamo, but still has a working church inside its walls. And the tour went through a residential area with colorful houses. There's a neat observation tower next to the convention center.

Yes, during the summer months, when conventions typically occur, it would be rather hot and humid, but I attended one in Chicago last summer and it was just as hot and humid. Besides, if you're attending the convention on sorority/fraternity businees, you're supposed to be inside most of the time, attending the events, meetings, workshops, meals, etc.

San Antonio gets my 1st vote. My 2nd vote would be Orlando. But going to a convention there would kill me, because I would be dying to go to Walt Disney World instead of convention functions !!!
