You do understand that 300,000 per night aren’t coming from out of town to watch the Olympics right? Vancouver had 1 million tickets sold, so even if 100% of guests are unique and from out of town and staying alone you only need an average of 88,000 rooms so unfortunately all the no’s can’t just rent their house and go on vacation. And even if they did they would need to make more then they spend elsewhere plus the $3500 or so in tax dollars spent on the games.
