Re:new independent new to area

It depends on where you want to be city or suburbs?

I travel frequently to the Chicago area and there are a number of good places to stay.  Downtown is great but pricey and getting around by car can be difficult.  The O'Hare area is full of less expensive hotels and is more accessible.  I've had good success in getting hotel rooms on the cheap through Priceline for this city so give them a shot.

There are also a number of good clubs in the area but my ATF is Club O in Harvey - just 10 mins south of city.  Very attractive women, good lap dance area and a good vip area as well.  Just did some remodeling about 6-8 months ago.

Hope this helps.
