Yes, Milwaukee is closer by about 1/2hr according to the Resort's website.
I think I'll still fly into Chicago as it has more flight time options for me. When I was speaking to a travel agent she didn't think it was 90min. to the resort from Chicago which the Resort website indicates.
Milwaukee is definetly more expensive to fly into along with less flight time options (atleast for me coming from Toronto)

Googlemaps puts it at an hour and 23 minutes. I think it could easily by 90min and possibly more depending on when you are driving. Not to mention the time to just get out of the airport itself and get a car.
It's a tradeoff - like you said.
Too Many Airport Choices
I'm from Chicago. DON'T fly in to Midway. Midway is on the south side of the city and you have to drive through Chicago to get up to Wisconsin. Traffic on a Friday in Chicago is horrendous. At least with OHare, you are north of the city and the drive will be more quick. The average time WITH NO TRAFFIC to get to Lake Geneva from OHare is 90 minutes, but for a Friday, who knows. Milwaukee airport is easier, smaller, closer, little traffic and a much less stressful drive. Only downfall to Milwaukee airport is less flight options and possibly more expensive. With all this said, I vote Milwaukee for visitors.

Arriving early
Arriving early is no problem - the Grand Geneva is a great resort. They have wonderful massages and herbal wraps - you can pamper yourself after the stress of travel. I've stayed there several times, even though I live close by. They have great weekend retreats. And the advice to fly into Milwaukee is very sound advice. It will be much easier to get to the resort from Milwaukee.
