As far as setting up the webcast up better for next year goes, we can't fix the upload speeds at the venue, which was the only issue we had...

I run a yearly space-themed conference in Los Angeles every year, and we webcast out our sessions and talks in high def via 4G LTE hotspots (via routers). Companies offer several-day packages for cheap (~$30-40) and the streaming quality through them can be more than sufficient for the purpose you describe. I'm sure North LV has similar hotspot coverage.

I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon/Sprint/AT&T would even be willing to sponsor the webcast bandwidth for us. It's all a matter of asking the right people.

Let me know if you'd like any assistance with this...
