For the people asking me about where to go in the USA I will say that unlike in some other countries every city is different, has a different monger culture and rules, and has a different price structure/expectations. Don't expect the pricing to be the same in Las Vegas that it is in Nebraska, or wherever. Also be aware of exchange rates. I do not typically monger in the US and am not an expert on American mongering at all, and I think there are a large number of people here who could (and would be happy to) answer your questions, and who are far more knowledgeable than I am. I would suggest asking your general questions in the open forum and maybe go offline if you're getting into personal areas of discussion. I would also suggest opening up threads for destinations in the international area as well, for non NA destinations, so as to avoid duplication of effort and to pool information from a variety of sources. Everyone seems eager to be helpful in those threads, although you may need to filter the info a bit.
