I got my tix for the Chicago Invitational in the mail today...
Just went to
www.hotwire.com and got a 3.5-star suite at the Sheraton Suites Elk Grove Village (about 15-20 mins away) for $43 per night! There are other great deals on Hotwire nearby including a 3-star hotel in Hoffman Estates (where Sears Centre is located) for $39 per night.

I went last year to see Indiana (of course
_avier was in it as well) and it is a really nice, new arena in a nice area...suburban Northwest Chicago...It's an easy drive to and from the area...no heavy downtown Chicago traffic or anything like that. One suggestion: within a block or so of the Sears Centre (near Target), there is a restaurant called Claim Jumper...it's pricey, but the meals...excellent!
