I did a quick search, I picked the random weekend of August 16-19. Here are the
results:

Looks like if you stay in Lisle/Naperville (very nice area), you can get it for
60/night, that's for a room with 2 adults and 2 beds. This was just a quick

Definitely not me. Heck, been there once, don't care to go again. Can't ya
tell I grew up in DuPage County? ;-)
I think we could find reasonable hotel rates for the Chicago area.
Naperville/Lisle is right along I-88 and is home to many large company offices -
close to a few big shopping centers, entertainment (theatres), and about a 30-35
minute drive to downtown with good traffic. To O'Hare its about 20-25 mins on
I-88 and I-294.
But, I'd rather first see MSP as the midwest LEGO event, because there's more
LEGO stuff up there than there is here. Still, Naperville is only 20 mins from
my place ;-)
