The advantage of the St. Louis is that it's right in the Quarter. Step out the door, walk half a block, and you're at the shopping of Royal Street or the debauchery of Bourbon Street (take your pick). The Radisson is a little more out of the way.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

And the Radisson is a chain.

I think we need to get more info on the hospitality suite and prom room from the "New Orleans Fine Hotels" group before deciding anything.
I am awaiting a response. I'll post as soon as I hear anything.

I like the look of the St. Louis.

Thrive to spite them
Do we know how accessible everything will be in these hotels. I know in DC there was a problem with the hospitality suite being up a flight of stairs.

The Radisson's proposal specifically mentions the Audubon rooms and sleeping rooms as being accessible and served by elevator. I'll have to check on the others.

Yay. I love St. Louis, of course Radisson wouldn't be bad either, and I know the Radisson is good with groups.
Whatever, I'll sleep on Burbon St. to get to hang out with y'all.

I think you're a more devoted Buffista than I. I've walked down Bourbon Street at 6am, and the only way I'd sleep there is if I could levitate like Linda Blair in The Exorcist.

I had a friend who came down with us once and just didn't think he was going to make it all night with us. He'd find a doorway or alleyway or just a wall and lean on it and take a nap.
I don't think I could ever sleep that way, but I'd try for buffistas.
