The heat and crowds are bad enough, but this seems the real flaw in the plan to me. You don't want the frustration of the first-time putting up a particular tent when you need to sleep in it shortly after. Almost guaranteed to have a mishap that leaves you putting it together by flashlight, in wind, rain or all of the above.
Then you get the fun of forgotten items (tent stakes that come with tents are generally worthless, gotta buy decent ones) or missing items. Want to try to return to the outdoor store at 9 pm to get replacements? Good luck.
