SQL Saturday venue selection

Here are some concerns of people finding SQL Saturday venues:

So venue selection. Things we take into consideration are location (near freeways etc., hotels nearby, cost, number of rooms, layout). Then the venue needs to be able to be up and available on Saturday's which some aren't.

Additional questions:
 * How much does the venue cost?
 * When is access to the venue available?
 * What is the layout of the facility?
 * What are the financial arrangements for the venue?
 * Does the venue want to sponsor the event?
 * How big is the venue?
 * Will anyone else be accessing the venue during the event?
 * What are the emergency procedures for the venue?
 * Who are the emergency contacts?
