VTOL doesn't need an airstrip the size of Meigs, and especially at that location since it would be several blocks away from where people want to go. They could probably use one of the many parking decks in the Loop proper, upper deck re-purposed.

Technically, VTOLs fall under the Webster definition of helicopter except that VTOLs often have variable pitch rotors that can go anywhere between horizontal and vertical axes.
