That may not be the case if it's presented differently to the powers that be. It's Las Vegas. I seriously doubt a (moderately funded) team would have lower than a 2:1 adult:student ratio, so convincing a school district there will be plenty of chaperones is easy. When we went in 2007, there were 17 adults for 7 kids. Not only was the competition a blast, I hardly slept.

Or they could just rename the event to be the Mojave Regional, Hoover Dam Regional, etc.

That may work in the beginning of the meeting but you would still have to tell them where exactly they would be going. lol
