According to the local Courier-Journal, rooms have been filling up much more quickly than last year. In fact, most places you'd want to stay are sold out.

Already bought your fancy hat and still want to blow your month's rent at Churchill Downs? You can still find a place to stay, as long as you don't mind budget chains of the Holiday Inn, Best Western variety.

That's no internet, no TV, no air conditioning, no lights, no appliances, zilch. What's a high-maintenance girl who dislikes showering by candlelight to do? Move into a hotel. But wait. There are all those pesky tourists in town, and not a hotel room to be found. On Sunday night <a href="http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080916/RYDERCUP/809160453">a few hotels offered price breaks</a> to the in-the-dark locals but when
