Clearly you've never heard of Sight and Sound?? People come from all over the country to go to one religious show? So staying at a hotel because they don't serve booze really isn't a stretch at all, at least not around here anyway. I'm just saying there is a portion of the population that does take that into consideration. Just like there are a lot of people around here that still won't shop at places that are open on Sundays. It really depends on what type of "Christian" we are talking about I guess. I mean Catholics and Mennonites are both Christian but are worlds different in beliefs.
Sight and Sound, last I checked, wasn't in a dry area. In fact, you could buy wine really close by. There are restaurants that serve alcohol near there right over on Rt. 30.
I believe that it is a small market that considers the availability of alcohol to be a factor. Even among fundamentalists, a high quantity (over half) believe that drinking beer is fine (although, of course, drunkeness is considered to be wrong) according to a poll by ChristiaNet.com. Even among those who were against drinking personally, how many would be against staying at a hotel where alcohol was served? That really limits the selection (and, generally, the quality).
