I have run conventions that have been on 3 floors and 2 buildings  
(Cleveland), so yes, it can be done on multiple floors.  the BEST layout  would be one 
floor for everything, but properly laid out (we would have a year  to plan it 
if we go this route), it can actually go from "spread out" to  "friendly and 
intimate" with each department getting it's own attention.

Generally, I would agree but I guess it depends on how it is divided. If  
RPGs are on one level, BGs on one and minis on another (with CCGs and other  
things in there somewhere) - is that a major problem?

The big problem I see with the Sheraton  is that the space is divided between 
a few floors, and as we saw at the  Westin, it makes the con feel like there 
are a lot less people there there  there really is. .  Where we are not most 
everything is on  one floor making a much better atmosphere.

The  Sheraton has only 16,000 feet of convention space -- they weren't in the 
 running.

parking was only under construction for the bank parking  lot.
