Try nursing in one spot all the time (or as much as possible). Try having some aromatherapy such a lavender in that room, as well as music.
In a week or two, try sitting with him with a sippy cup first, Show him the cup, encourage him to drink from it, telling him what a big boy he is, then nursing, a week later, try suggesting more sippy cup, tell him he is such a big boy drinking from the cup. Try making the cup special, maybe get him to pick one out from the store....

Eventually the scent, the relaxing atmosphere, the cup and encouragement should get him to want to wean off, or at least be less demanding. If its in the same place all the time, he might be less likely to be as demanding when not in that room...

It worked for one of mine. She is an adult now, and still likes lavender in her room, and goes to sleep with music on.
