I think the Tribune Media location might be the ideal spot. While it isn't serviced directly by rail, the #66 bus is the second most active bus line in the CTA (which links up to nearby blue, brown, and red lines), and the #8 isn't far behind. And both run 24 hours. You also have minimal NIMBY issues here. McCormick will be happy the casino won't be right in convention-goer's faces, and yet it's still easily accessible to convention-goers. You can easily draw from people seeking nightlife in nearby hoods, without detracting from those existing scenes. Essentially you get a downtown location without all the problems of being downtown.
