Last year when Chuck (EIC of GamingNexus) and I attended the Gamerscoreblog Road Tour in Chicago, one of the bits of news to come out of the meeting was that the Hotel Sax (it was still the House of Blues at the time) would be getting an Xbox 360 lounge for it's guests. Well, here we are about a year later and The Studio at Hotel Sax Chicago is now open, but it is much more than just the Xbox 360 experience. The Studio is a complete Microsoft experience that is centered around the Xbox 360, as it has five Elite consoles hooked to flat-panels throughout the facility. In addition, The Studio also boasts five Zunes, loaded with music and movies, two HP laptops connected to the internet and a PC based home entertainment setup featuring Vista Media Center.
However, the Hotel Sax Chicago isn't cheap, as the place is loaded with plush amenities and a basic room runs around $350 a night during peak times and $160 a night during off-peak (read dead of winter). The Studio at Hotel Sax Chicago is open from 4 p.m. to Midnight every day and is free to registered guests of the hotel.

It is totally F'in cool. I was there a few weeks ago with my husband, and we had a blast. We played Guitar Hero and Rock Band for hours. He played Madden 08, AND we got to order beers, wine and food....it's NOT a game room for the kiddies...thank GOD! We were having such a great time that we missed the first 1/2 hour of the show at the House of Blues we were there to see. We'll definitely be going back the next time we're in Chi-town. There's no better hotel as far as I'm concerned. I got some insider info about a code to get 20% off the room rate at the hotel. So, if you're going to Chicago....use it, and use it as soon as you can. I don't know how long it'll work. The code is: "cache08" http://www.hotelsaxchicago.com When you go to the hotel site to book a room and you see the promo/corporate code box, enter it there. And, if you need info on the best hotels and travel deals, visit my blog. We're going to have all kinds of insider info, like the code. http://www.etravelmuse.com |

A lot of stuff is just networking and plain asking. GamingNexus has been an established game site for almost 10 years, but much of what I am able to do comes from just asking and being affiliated with XboxAmerica. |
