Much like the Hard Rock Hotel has a Vibe Manager, the Hotel Sax in Chicago has Studio Hosts to man their sixth floor Studio (see video) which is powered by XBox and features hit games from Guitar Hero to Rockband to Madden 08' and Dance, Dance Revolution. All of the above is why the hotel topped our Best Geek Hotels 2.0 list back in February.

So what's it like in the life of a Studio Host here. From the Chicago Tribune:

And the hotel has trained staff attendants, now called studio hosts, to help guests with all the cool toys. Mostly, people just need help swapping out the games, says studio host Bill Gill, 26. "I show them how to play the guitar … make sure people don't stay an hour on a machine when people are waiting," Gill says.

Um...hello, we totally need to apply for this job because it's like the easiest job ever. Then again, we're not so sure we'd be good at comforting the older business traveler who attempts the Rockband drum kit and totally blows. The drummer is the beat of the band, man!
