Suggest a stop with us here at Lee's Summit (KLXT). EAA Chapter 91 offers free overnight/weekend hangar space to experimentals (first come, first served).
Enterprise will deliver a car to the airport. It's an easy drive from Lee's Summit to the Jazz Museum and other attractions.
There's a nice Hampton Inn one mile away at 1751 NE Douglas Street, Lee's Summit, Missouri, 64086, USA TEL: 1-816-347-8600. Mention that you're flying into KLXT and ask for a preferred rate for pilots.
Best,
Mike

Lee's Summit is the best deal going, especially if you can get a Chapter 91 hangar.
You mentioned that you were going to hear live jazz. Most of those venues, to my knowledge, are downtown. You may want to stay closer to the venue than Lee's Summit if you fly into there.
Downtown Airport (KMKC) would be an alternative but be sure that you get the self-serve gas on the west side of the field. Signature is significantly more expensive. That would be closer to downtown but is a big city airport with the good and bad that goes with it.
I am based northeast of downtown at Midwest National (KGPH), like Lee's Summit, is a GA friendly airport. Lee's Summit is definitely the RV capital of KC. If I can help you at KGPH, let me know.

Makes me smile just thinking about it! Gates, LC's, and Arthur Bryants. Don't go to the big fancy places; the little hole in the wall is your best bet.

Downtown would be the closest to the Golden Ox, you would surely not want to miss a trip there: http://www.goldenox.com/
