I've been in New York recently. The room had 2 beds that could fit 2 people in each. They said we could have a fifth person in the room and didn't charge us anything. We also visited some people in the US and they told us they charge per room, not per person. It seems unlikely that we got lucky with the hotel and then asked someone who also had the wrong idea about that, but it's possible. Could it be possible that it depends on were in the US, since the country is huge?
Most hotels put occupancy restrictions on their rooms saying they "could" charge you if you put more in it that allowed. It is typically 2 people per bed (including pull out couches or something if you get a suite) +1 if the hotel has rollaway beds you can rent as well
I, however, have NEVER heard of anyone being charged with putting too many people in a room or even had it mentioned to them. Heck, when you book through travel sites, unless you break something, the front desk people cant even change what your charge is.

No. Occupancy restrictions for hotels are typically a matter of state law. And if they know you have more guests than you registered they will charge you.

I have. (heard of it. Its been a long while since I've overoccupied a room).

This, however, is absolutely and unequivocally not true. If you book a room on a travel site for 2 people and 4 people stay in it and the hotel catches you they can absolutely charge you the extra fee for additional people.

This is, of course, possible. I suppose I should have prefaced it with "most" hotels charge extra per person.
Maximum occupanyc issues however are usually a state law thing. Hotels *can't* let you have more than a certain number of people per room (like I said, usually its six, but it varies based on state, size of the room, etc.)
Nokia is a Swedish company and Lego a Danish company, doesn't mean they are stupid enough to ignore a large foreigh market for sake of home soil.
Or Nintendo a Japanese company , but hear the moans when America wasn't going to get Xenoblade.
Magic is a globasl game so the proportionality of tournaments should be treated as such.
Wotc would realise Europe is a huge market and cater accordingly if they were smart.
While the USA may be twice the size a lot of that space is empty and nonpopulated , where as Europe has a vastly bigger population.
I'd love to see the books on american consumers vs the rest of the world consumers.

My have/wants trade list.
I remember stuffing 12 people into a 2 bed hotel room during a pre-release weekend. God that was hilarious.
Wonder what the 2012 GP attendance card is going to be, hopefully something sweet.
