There is a Fairfield in near Market Center about 4.5 miles from the Venue for $70 a night. Maybe if we reserved a block of rooms we could do a bit better. I think Fairfields are generally pretty nice, aren't they?
I think we can get 10-12 in one for the drive from the hotel to the show!
I don't drink at shows, so I'll be the DD. And I know my way around Dallas!
Auntie: What's the name of our hotel?
It's Residence Inn by Marriott. 6950 Stemmons Pkwy, Dallas. The lady who I talked to there said it's about eight miles from the venue. ("Venue." A word I never used until I came to BuffettNews
)

Oh, I know that one! Have stayed there! Didn't make the connection until just now!
It's a great place and in a pretty good neighborhood (near Market Center).
Perfect, as usual, Auntie!

Very clever allusion there, ETP! I'll chip in on the RV too. It's worth it just to have a real toilet at the tailgate.

You're getting sleepy. Your eyelids are heavy. You're in a great place right now. Sleep and hear this: You NEED to come to Dallas. We NEED you to come to Dallas. For the show. No worries, be happy. You have a ride from the airport. You have a place to sleep. You have wheels to the venue AND back. And you have a tour guide who knows HOW to do Dallas. You NEED to come to Dallas. Now, you're going to wake up refreshed and feeling great and you're going to book a flight to Dallas.
We now return the network back to your control!

Yes. But it's a GOOD spew.
If any...
