For several years I have attended a Georgia trial lawyers seminar at the Omni for CLE (yet another extortion racket, but, I digress.). The best I could do was about $220 per night (that includes taxes of course). The food at this resort is extremely expensive. Last year, my husband and I spent about $100 on dinner, before adding in a pre-dinner cocktail and wine with dinner. By the way, the green fees for golf aren't cheap.<br /><br />Disgusting.
