Chicago - 6/10-6/12
Is something going on in Chicago that weekend? I can't seem to get a hotel room that weekend w/o paying +$300 a night - even with expedia, travelocity, priceline, etc.

Yes, Blues Festival and many numerous other events. Summer dance etc.
See www.metromix.com
Actually nearly every weekend in summer gets like that for lodging. Best if you try to make reservations at least 6 weeks in advance for cheaper rates.

I don't think the Bluse Festival attracts all that many visitors. It'll make for a great weekend, though, along with the Printers Row Book Fair and Old Town Art Fair.
Neocon (40,000 attendees)starts on June 13, so that may account for some of the hotel room problems. Have you tried reserving for just June 10-11?

I did it through southwest through a hotel/airfare package - you can just do hotels too if you want. The package total was $567. I deducted the amount of the airfare which, if done separate, was $269, which leaves to the $298 for House of Blues for two nights - good luck!

Radiofanatic - Do you actually have a reservation there now? If so, you're very lucky. I just checked it out, and almost all of the hotels through SWA show no availability. The few that did have rooms left only had expensive rooms.
The hotel should be fine. I've never stayed there, but the location is fantastic. Check tripadvisor for reviews.

I'm going to call to confirm but SW gave me the entire confirmation. I hope so or my hubby will have a heart attack!
