At & In
What's the rule in using 'at' & 'in' when talking about places? like the party is held at/in his house/X club/Y hotel.
Most of the times, I see 'at' is used, but why? Can we use 'in' instead?

'At' is a point reference; it is a location, like on a map. 'In' refers to within a 2- or 3-dimensional space, like a building. Often, either preposition will serve the purpose.
