The Top 10 Tips for Saving money while in Chicago

1. Eat breakfast in the Resource Center Monday and Tuesday. It’s FREE! You'll enjoy complimentary bagels, pastries, coffee and juice.
   
   
2. Enjoy refreshing snacks in the Resource Center during breaks for FREE! While there, don’t forget to visit the vendors in the Resource Center. You'll not only see the latest in helpful advertising ideas, you can register for door prizes!
   
   
3. Eat a light, low-cost lunch. Visit the deli on the first floor of the NBC Tower across the street. Take a short hike to the Billy Goat Tavern, 430 N. Michigan Ave., made famous by NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” for a cheeseburger and chips (no fries, chips!)
   
   
4. Forget the cab! Ride a trolley for FREE! Trolleys run from State Street to Navy Pier — and points in between. Better yet, walk!
   
   
5. Enjoy yourself at dinner. There are plenty of reasonable restaurants within walking distance — see the Hospitality desk on the 5th floor.
   
   
6. Don't use the phone in your room to call home! There's a charge for every call made, plus high long distance rates. Instead, use a pay phone (found on all levels where sessions are held and on the Lobby Level) and use a phone card. Don't waste your money on long distance fees to get online. Check your e-mail from the cyber center in the Resource Center for FREE!
   
   
7. Use the hotel's fitness center for FREE!
   
   
8. Enjoy the beautiful Christmas lights and holiday decorations on Michigan Avenue for FREE! Enjoy the walk and the fresh, brisk winter air.
   
   
9. Take in Tuesday's Grand Luncheon for FREE! It's open to all full conference registrants at no charge!
   
   
10. Take part in Sunday’s major receptions. The first is part of the CASE V Opening Extravaganza where free wine and beverages will be available in the Resource Center. Then, head back downstairs for some great music and a cash bar.
