$1000-$1500 to party in Calgary seems like overkill. You could all go to Las Vegas, see great live bands that you wouldn't be able to see normally and get cheeper rates on hotels than the Hotel Arts. Depending on the weekend you could see sports/comedy/etc.
It's the guys that live in Calgary that could be the problem. I'm not sure why they would spend a few hundred bucks to stay at a hotel in the same city they live in. It's easy enough to head home at the end of the night and the meet up with the guys when they finally wake up in the morning. So the cost of going to Vegas would be higher for them than a weekend partying in Calgary.
