Hit up the new Millennium Park downtown. Go see some music in the city (jazz, blues, rock, etc). Take a stroll along the Magnificent Mile or Lake Shore Dr. There's plenty to do. :)

I'm semi bummed cause I'd like to do that, but I have 2 things keeping me from it.
1. No car
2. Free drinks downstairs in an hour. :D

Tuesday night - "Movie in the Park" at Grant Park. This week: Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds."

Also, ask someone in ATOT if they'll take you to the new Fry's.

I can't offer any real suggestions since I've never gotten into the whole tourist thing (If I go somewhere - I want to be there for weeks to soak up atmosphere, not just for a couple of days to "see the sights" which I could do just as well on the internet), but if I see you with your official ATOT shiney (tm) i'll make sure to hump you.

EDIT : Oh, and you if take the free shuttle's to Harrah's i'll make sure to take your money at the poker tables too ;)

Since you are on golf, not having a car sucks. But, you are across the street from Woodfield, and walking distance to several bar/restaurants. If you feel up to it, a 20 screen theatre is on the far side at the end of Streets of Woodfield.

Went there yesterday and tonight for some beer. (some Irish pub there...)

I need to get a wireless NIC for my laptop...I left mine at home on my desk. Any good computer shops closeby?

woa, I'll be in Schaumburg this Sunday for some training for the following week.

I've never been to Chicago either, how far is Schaumburg from down town?

Architectural River/Lake Cruise.
Lots of museums (besides the really big obvious ones)
Navy Pier
More fine restaurants than you can shake a stick at
John Hancock Observatory is better than Sears Tower Skydeck IMO
Chicago Strip Clubs suck :( (no, not literally, darn it)
