NYC? Well we usually stay at the Big Apple Hostel on W45 for the NYC Regional. Basic but quite cheap and well placed; half a block from Times Square. This year we stayed for a week, flew into JFK from London Heathrow with British Airways. I don't know exact costs off hand though.
I'm sure that Cunard would love any attempts to use the QE2 if you can afford it; I doubt it's big enough to hold a decent size regional though (never mind the championships) without causing enough damage to need a small fortune to pay for the repairs. Before you say anything, I won't start on the list of things we've broken or damaged in my 2 years with 759.
As for Detroit? It held the Super Bowl surely, so why not? If it's good enough for the NFL and AFL, would it not be good enough for FIRST? (I've never even been there by the way, but I know its reputation)
