If a western destination would be offered, I suspect it would be voted down.
I too would like a different show site out west, but I have no vote nor say.
Vegas would be high on my list.

Edited for spelling error!

This topic always hits a nerve with me. In the last 14 years we've had one
National on the west coast (2006). So there's a lot of dealer on the east coast,
great. But guess what, there's a lot of collectors/consumers on the west coast
too!

While I think Vegas is not the ideal venue for a National (National always takes
place during the summer, which happens to be the worse time of the year for
Vegas, usually 100-115 degrees and lack of family attractions), I would love to
have another NATION-al here on the west side.

I think San Diego would be a superb choice. As previously stated, San Diego has
a host of family attractions and they're all centrally located. Additionally, the
weather is a tad cooler in SD then it is in LA/OC.

The National locations are already predesignated through 2019, so we've got to
wait at least another SIX years before we get a chance on a west coast National.
