    Staying at the Swissotel, quite cheap (compared to other down town hotels), 'pretty' close by the venue.

    it will be a one mile walk from the hyatt to the show on madison, is that correct?

    No, it is 3 miles from your hotel to the UC...Way too far to walk...Don't understand why people are recommending you walk home after the show...Yes walking a mile and a half and then getting a cab is much easier closer to the city.

    True, It's a mile to the western edge of downtown. Too bad the Hyatt is across the loop. I second the idea of walking as far east as you can. You probablt will eventually be able to get a cab. It is just too much of a cluster around the UC to get a cab.

    This doesn't really work at the UC. You will get shit from the cops at the very least. I have had my pregaming interupted in the past.
