I have a few trips coming up --- business and pleasure -- and Vegas ; ) ----- I didn't exactly want to wear my finest suit out on the town when booze is spilling, so I was looking for a stylish sport/coat blazer that can take a beating. Looking around $150 range give or take --- I am going to be wearing this out and don't want to be uber concerned about it.

I'm also looking for something slim and a little more daring --- maybe a solid creme or beige or a patterned light gray.

Any ideas on where I should shop for this? I live in Chicago, by the way. H&M, Uniqlo, Nordstrom rack are my first thoughts --- I'm not sure if I should go for something that will last longer though.

H&M and Uniglo are likely to fit too tight and be wrong for business. That leaves Nordstrom Rack. Those color preferences also likely would be wrong for work, by the way.
