Jaci!!!! I hope I can get a chance to at least meet you
. I would suggest staying either downtown/plaza area or near the airport. Anywhere else and business may suffer. I am not sure about playtimes but I think most ladies tend to go a mix like showing up thursday after and leaving sunday morning.
I think KC will love you, I know I love your pics in chat and you should do well here.
Oh and as for the areas, the Plaza/Downtown is in the center of the city and there are LOTS of great hotels to stay at in those areas. Airport is north of the city and the places to stay at there are a bit more spread out with also nice places to stay.
