The combined projects will cost more than 500-million-dollars. This casino would replace the casino in downtown Aurora. Plus the company is planning to develop a casino and hotel next to the Chicago Premium Outlets mall off I-88 in Aurora. Construction of the new property is expected to begin in late 2023, subject to regulatory approval. The casino will include approximately 800 slots and 45 live table games (including a baccarat room), a Barstool Sportsbook, high quality bars and restaurants, approximately 10,000 square feet of meeting areas and an event center. The project has an estimated budget of $185 million. The facility is several miles from the current Hollywood Casino Joliet, which will be replaced by the new land-based casino. The development, which is currently under construction, is located at the interchange of I-55 and I-80. PENN Entertainment has announced that they will be constructing a new land-based casino as part of the Rock Run Crossings development in the city of Joliet. As WJOL reported back in November of 2021 a big move has finally been confirmed.
