I did some asking around tonight with local hotels and all confirm to me that they have no measurable influx of people sleeping overnight. I have checked hotels.com and priceline.com and basically the pattern I am observing is that the $40 a night hotels are in limited supply in the Cedar Bluff area but downtown I see and hear no real impact.
