I could take a week's trip, and then some, internationally for a lot less than that. Even if it's multiple families involved...not worth it.

Let me help you. It's a very significant event. Again, only every 4 years.

It's literally the biggest(or 2nd biggest, depending on your views) event in politics. It's not a small get together of people. It's a HUGE event. So yes, people will pay thousands of dollars to stay at a nice house that is less than an hour from the site.

queencitybuckeye;1790968 wrote:So simple, an Akron grad should get it. Every hotel room in the Cleveland area, booked at double occupancy, will only accommodate about 2/3 of the people attending. The rest need to stay somewhere, driving record demand and record prices.

The 2016 Republican National Convention requires approximately 16,000 hotel rooms to accommodate the estimated 50,000 visitors who will convene in Cleveland for a week next July. According to the convention host committee, Northeast Ohio will have 17,000 rooms available within a 45-minute drive of downtown and just under 5,000 rooms in the immediate downtown area by the mega-event's first day.

I'm considering going to a music festival in Detroit in May. Air BnB prices for that weekend are also higher than the norm.
