Thinking of making a trip up to Chicago for Labour Day weekend ...

I like using and have had good success with using priceline b4 in booking hotels and what I was wondering was ... in the event that I were to use it and I wanted to stay in Downtown Chicago, by the magnificent mile and close to the nice touristy / trendy areas which area would be my best bet in trying to get booking for ...

Im guessing it would be the North Michigan Avenue - River North Area? Would that be correct?

I saw that too ...

I also see ...

Locodice is @ Spybar on Thursday
Carl Cox + Green Velvet @ The Mid on Saturday
Ida Engberg @ Transit on Sunday night

I have not been to Vision in about 5 plus years, i'm surprised to see its still around and kicking tbh. What is The Mid like? Also what about Transit nightclub?

Transit's been around for a long time too. Its a bit of a round open room. I kinda thought it was alright.

Vision is still one of the best clubs in Chicago. I love that place.

the MID is newer, it a 2 level rectangluar layout with a big open middle like Vision. Security is a bit overwhelming in presence, Drinks are pricey, overall, its an OK club. They've had a lot of good talent running through there though.

The mid has a pretty long waiting line but it's worth it
I'd say hit up locodice, it's always a good show

Having never been to the Mid b4 ... I hear that they have top shelf open bar from 10pm - 1am.

Is this true? And if so do you need special tickets for it?

I will be getting to chicago that weekend. Will be seeing JZ on Friday then the north coast music fest on Saturday. Can anyone point me in some good bars to hit up before sound bar on friday? Cheap drinks and good eats preferred. Thanks in advance.
