I hosted a few small (1-2 dozen) lan parties at peoples houses and then tried to host a large one at a hotel confrence room. If you are worried about overflowing have people pre-register and drop you a few bucks. ($5) This not only reserve seats for people that matter, but offsets the cost of the confrence room in case people cancel.
Make people sign something on their way in, basically to the effect of 'If you break something, you are responsible for it and not the hosts of this lan party.'
