Directions & Local InformationThe Omni Charlotte Hotel in Downtown (some say Uptown, but they're the same) Charlotte is the main venue for SLSA '08. The hotel is approximately 10 miles from the Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) and thus is brief cab ride away, that should cost no more than $25-30 (without a tip). Once at the Marriott, you are in walking distance of the The Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, Discovery Place (a science museum), the Levine Museum of the New South, and The Mint Museum of Craft and Design, and a number of very good restaurants. The city, which also has many clubs and bars, is a lively place in the evenings and is very safe for pedestrians. The Hotel is located at the historic intersection of Trade Street and Tryon and the address is: 132 E. Trade Street
