Quoted from robotron911:I travel to Chicago frequently for business and I have to say, as far as locations go, Schaumburg >>>>> Wheeling. Just from a hotel perspective for lodging, there are 5 Marriott properties in a couple of mile radius alone. Not to mention a mall, a huge variety of dining options, a park for some of you fat asses to walk those Chicago hot dogs (yes, there is also a Portillos in the area) off, easy access off of the highway, easy access from Ohare..... I could go on. It's not even close.
I don't know Chicago well, but it's not like Portillos is that far from the Weston in Wheeling. It's probably a 5 minute drive down Lake Cook.
