I'm attending a weekend course at the Embassy Suites Hotel at MCI (7640 NW Tiffany Springs Parkway) and I will NOT have a rental car. IS there any way to get to Kansas City's "downtown" area to see sights, and are there cabs at night to take me back?
Also, are there any restaurants within walking distance of the hotel?

A taxi will cost a bit of money and as for the sights of downtown... there is the River market district (Nice but small), Westport (nightlife and dining), and the Plaza (upscale shopping and dining). "Downtown" KCMO is a pit with a ton of construction going on right now.
If you want to see something a little closer to your hotel... Go to Zona Rosa. It's new and has bunch of shops and nice restauraunts. My personal favorite is the Hereford House (steak house). Zona Rosa is about 4 miles away from Embassy Suites.
As far as restaurants near you... last time I was in that area I was driving pretty fast due to the overwhelming population of low lifes walking around the streets. The area is semi industrial office area. However, there is a nice bar and restauraunt within the hotel.
Good luck and don't walk around "Downtown" at night by yourself!!!

Johannesburg is the next greatest town in Africa, with more than 3 million people calling this vibrant area house and if you want to visit this outstanding city then this hotelbye is the place to start. Johannesburg presents readers an event as unique and diverse as the city itself. If you are on business, in search of a social experience, an adrenaline hurry or just want to relax and rest for some times, the city of Johannesburg has every thing you are trying to find and more! In Johannesburg you are able to look at the Soweto (an abbreviation for South-western Townships) at 20 kilometres southwest of Johannesburg. That place presents readers a trip to the heart of the fight for freedom and the birthplace of the struggle for democracy.

There are aways taxis. Also, some motels offer "courtesy" rides to and from the downtown area. Check that out.
Good luck!!
