Sightseeing
The second tallest building with an amazing view up and down the lakefront. Skip the deck view and head to the Signature Lounge instead, where for the price of a beer you get the same view, plus that beer! Insider tip: if the line is too long, duck in the bathroom for a pit stop and honestly- a really great view (for free!)
