Gone in Sixty Seconds (or at least it seems like it)
The Dragon Con website indicates that all five host hotels are sold out for 2015, and unless I'm confused, this happened without one or two of them ever being opened up for reservations via the site.
I believe I understand why this happens, I don't think any one person can fairly be blamed, and I don't know how to make it better. But I commiserate with anyone who had his or her heart set on being in one of the Big Five and got shut out, and I think it would be a great thing if this situation could be improved somehow.
Anyway, I just want to mention that a friend and I have stayed in one of the overflow hotels for the past two years, we saved money by doing it, and I didn't think it was hugely inconvenient or that we missed out on much. So if you love Dragon Con or are curious to check it out, I wouldn't let the unavailability of the Big Five keep you away.
