The location of nationals is not chosen based solely on the location.
The location is determined more by the location of the person(s) willing to take on the task of hosting and coordinating the event.
If the best (or only) proposal keeps coming from the same area of the country, then Nationals will be in the same area of the country.
So if you want Nationals in Vegas, then find someone near Vegas to host it.
Same thing goes for Nashville, New Orleans, St. Louis, or any other location.
It's logistics.
It is easier to coordinate and plan a GTG if you are familiar with, and near to, the area.
I'm not knocking the suggested locations.
In fact, I thank you for offering the suggestions.
But we need more than a location suggestion.
We need someone to do some research on lodging options, dining options, local attractions and options for group activities in the area.
Please keep the ideas coming, but also offer highlights that make the location attractive.
Such as Nascar stuff in Charlotte.
Thanks guys.
