Now this is interesting, mkt. The resort in question is in Florida. I'll do some searching, do you have any links to more info on this?

Yes, of course this was my first thought and what I would do if this was a trip I controlled (though if I were controlling the trip, I wouldn't be anywhere within 1,000 miles of this place). Unfortunately the resort is somewhat isolated, the conference/show/events go from 7.30AM until at least 11PM and there's a mandatory valet parking fee if driving in from elsewhere. So staying elsewhere isn't an option in this case.
