the cisco folks used about 24 access points(overkill) for the ietf in
sandiego that was enough to blanket the conference center and the hotel
below the 3rd floor...
One thing which I would find useful is connectivity which extends into the
hotel rooms themselves. Wireless would be nice, but most hotels don't cope
with this very well. One conference I went to (I can't remember if it was
NANOG or USENIX) provided dial-in on a hotel extension, which was useful!

The hotel of the future, giving you 10/100 switched ethernet to the room
(a hub at extra charge), and the hotel then gets an uplink to X NSP, based
on number of rooms and average usage.
Along with that comes online gaming among hotel guests (you can have a PC
installed - laptop for the suites - for extra charge), with online games
installed, where hotel guests connect to a hotel gaming server (quake
server for example), and play among themselves.
Of course, downstairs in the game rooms, there will be also computers who
can be used for the el-cheapo guests, if they can't afford one in the
room, in order to play (price/time of usage).

If the quake server is a requirement, does that specifically include or exclude Seattle?

Hello -
This already exists in several hotels in Singapore (including the Sheraton in
Scotts Road). SingNet is providing the service in conjunction with some other
companies.

and holding NANOG in Singapore would also cut down on that overcrowding
problem some people have mentioned.
