Yea but the issue is that there are two westward options and they have a different requirement for the orientation of the hotel. If the plan is to "face" west then it would suggest the committee might pursue option 3a instead of their previous preference for 3b. The ballroom space would double with 3a which might be too good to pass up. It would effectively eliminate the possibility of rail going North-South down Trinity. I would be ok with that as long as it's technically possible to extend the red line to the next rail that is built in this city. You cannot have two strips or rail that don't meet in central point in the city for public transportation.
However, the eastward expansion is a no-brainer in the future. You need to go west now to get the rest of that city block before someone else buys it.
