Hills? In Florida? The highest point in the State of Florida is a
building in Miami, isn't it? :)

But seriously, some high-tech conferences regularly go to touristy
places like Orlando and Las Vegas, and even Reno. They used to go to New
Orleans before Katrina. Depending on the season and the size of the
group, rates can be quite competitive. But there is no "off-season" for
Boston or New York -- they're just plain too expensive.
