Thanks for the generous offer and suggestions. I reserved a room at the America's Best Value Inn just south of the freeway from the Travelodge. Sold out were Travelodge, Best Western 1, Best Western 2 and Holiday Inn Express. It appears that if someone is thinking about doing this they should make a room reservation now. I saw that the Days Inn still has rooms available but at $170 for two nights is about twice what America's Best costs (you get what pay for? gulp).

Anyway, what do you do guys do with your cars overnight as far as security issues go? Right now I'm just planning on bringing a car cover and crossing my fingers.
