If you're looking to go this route, I recommend calling Experient as soon as they open. The website is terrible.

Experient just e-mailed me with an assigned room at the Hampton Inn at 7 Commerce Drive, Collinsville IL 62234. I'm going to pass on that.

For anyone else, when I booked on my own last night, there were rooms at the:
Westin, $300+/night
Ritz Carlton, $300+/night
Hampton Inn Airport, $179/night
Some of the other more distant Hampton Inns.

I tried the 20 or so hotels within about 12 miles of the venue, on the west side of the river, all booked solid according to those hotels' own websites.
