Somewhere like Atlanta is a perfect place for the competition because Atlanta has such a major airport. Airfare is determined by the number of times a flight goes to a specific city. If the competition was held in the middle of the U.S. airfare would actually be higher for teams everywhere. So if the westerners really want everyone to pay less, somewhere like Las Vegas would be the perfect venue. There are so many flights in and out of the airport there that flights would be cheap and obviously the city can hold the number of people who would be attending.
