Of course we can't overlook that Trader Vic's is conveniently located in the Atlanta Hilton, which specializes in special events! They have tons of conference rooms where we could do whatever we want so long as we rent it out.

ALSO quite importantly, the Atlanta Trader Vic's is BIG... they have 2 LARGE back rooms which they often do not open... we can simply request to have one of them for the night

As for the expense, Trader Vic's is actually cheaper than most bars in my opinion in terms of price for liquid... plus if we can guarantee that magic 50 number we can get some sort of discount

We may want to do both - request a TV backroom and get a conference room OR here's a sneaky idea:

We all chip in for a room at the Atlanta Hilton - this can be used for our private liquor stash (get liquored up on the cheap in the room party then come down to TV's and vice versa)

This room(s) would also be convenient for folks who may HAVE to pass out or can't drive or whatever...

BTW there is a good cheaper hotel across the street from the Atlanta Hilton (i forget the name i'll post it and the prices this weekend)... but I think we should definitely have a "group room" right there in the Hilton for convenience...

I am not so big on involving other destinations in a one night event because of the serious drinking (and who's gonna be drivin) and the fact that Atlanta roadways DEVOUR TIME... you'll spend an hour getting to Little Five Points or to Virginia Highlands

Focusing on one spot (the hilton) gives us lounge lizards more face time, more drinking time and more relaxing in style time...
