Just in case anyone from out of town is interested, you can get very good deal on Chicago hotels from Hotwire.com (also search around for HotWire coupon codes). We got a superb deal on the Chicago Hilton last August 30 - Sept 1. Paid $200 for 3 nights (all-inclusive) and got a nice corner room. Overheard the reservation clerk told another guest the rooms are for $150. (You can imagine the feeling!).
