  What area are you going to be in? That makes it easier to narrow it down...especially if you are in the city.

  The Thunder from Down Under have a standing engagement at the Lasalle Power Company (a bar/club downtown) until October. They have several shows every Friday and Saturday night. It is $40 for general admission or $60 for VIP seating, open bar during the show, and 2 drinks after the show (per girl, obviously). I am pretty sure this is what we're doing for my B-party. It is pretty affordable, I think, and everyone can pay for themselves.

  Go to the Comedy Sportz last show on Friday night - see the 10 p show and USUALLY they will give you the "after hours" show for free - which, on Friday nights this summer, is all about a Bachelorette party!
  
  Chicago has a great beach scene - which equals free.  So hit that up on Sat. am.
  
  I'd do the touristy stuff and do Millenium Park the afternoon and then a cocktail at the Signature Room (John Hancock building).  That way, you get the view without having to pay an admission fee!
  
  Check out Groupon and restaurant.com for great coupons for cheaper - we went to an Italian place in Old Town and was able to use $100 off (and it only cost us $8!).
  
  Or, do dinner at a BYOB place -that will help save some money.
  
  I do know that if you hit up Rush/Division and look like a bachelorette party, you will get free shots, free champagne and free entry to most of those bars/clubs.  Or, hit up Wrigleyville and bar hop.
  
  You can do Chicago for a decent bachelorette party and have a great time.  Just do some searching and watch for deals.  You can even get groupons for mani/pedis!
  
  Have fun!

  Thanks all! It's great to have a few ideas to go with! She's in Evanston, I think most of the guests for the bachelorette party will be located nearby. I'm one of the few who's not local.

  Flirty Girl Fitness, in the West Loop, has all kinds of fun fitness classes - pole, lap dancing, 'video vixen', etc.  I believe they have bachelorette packages that include boas, mani/pedis, bar drinks, etc.  There's many other places that offer these classes too if you do a little google search.
  
  Last year I helped plan a bachelorette party of dinner at Carnivale (Latin American food, fun, colorful, elegant ambiance) and drinks at Howl at the Moon - a dualing piano bar.  We did some party package at HatM (immediate entry, free drink, etc) but since we got there before 9 we might not have needed that.  One caution there - I purchased the party package on my credit card, they overcharged (not by much, but it's the principle), and it took several calls to get the overcharge refunded.

  you can meet at somenes home before hand and play party games (pin the junk on the hunk, etc..) and have some food before going out for drinks. 

  that will help save your budget
  
  PP said Flirty Girl Fitness- I got a training certificate through them, and can totally vouch that their classes are fantastic. 
  the pole dancing is fun. they also do chair dancing. everyone gets a boa, etc..
