The
House of Blues Hotel in Chicago is currently being remodeled, and with that
comes a name change to Hotel Sax Chicago. One interesting side-bar to the project will be the introduction of a
Xbox Lounge in the hotel. While details haven't been announced yet, this could be a showcase for future Microsoft gaming events in the Midwest. While the concept by Microsoft isn't new, it will be the only facility of it's type in the United States. Ideally Microsoft will have a Grand Opening event that will mingle the community with some Insiders. The lounge is expected to open in Summer 2007.
