The Izaak Walton will work. Lisa and I discussed that pretty thoroughly, because (as Tonopah demonstrates) she is very firm about the distinction between a hoax bid and a joke bid — which is that, if people take the latter seriously enough, you actually can go through with it.
It has the guest rooms, it has function space (in the form of cabins), it has food. There's a modest amount of overflow capacity in the form of various tourist lodges in the Glacier National Park region, and even an airport in the general vicinity for the odd person who doesn't want to arrive by Amtrak. The number of people who would actually come to a convention, the main attraction of which is that it's being held at a site which is served directly by Amtrak (the Empire Builder stops there in daylight both ways, during summer at least), and incidentally has next-to-no Internet access, can't be terribly large. But, by the same token, organizing the convention shouldn't be a huge amount of work, which is why I was willing to consider it in the first place.
