"Bally's Chairman Soo Kim acknowledged the uneven path to reach this stage, stating, 'We had some fits and starts. We're going to be done early next year. We're excited to finish it all up.'"
"The project will include a 500-room hotel, a 3,000-seat theater, an exhibition hall, 10 restaurants, and 4,000 gaming positions, making it the largest casino in Illinois."
"Demolition was paused after debris spilled into the river, and regulators later halted work due to an unauthorized waste hauler, causing significant delays."
"Bally's now says the permanent site should open in the first quarter of 2027, aligning with a revised state deadline that allows operations at the temporary Medinah Temple casino through September of that year."
Bally's casino project in Chicago has reached a major milestone with the raising of the final steel beam at its riverfront complex. The $1.7 billion development will feature a 34-story hotel, a 3,000-seat theater, and 10 restaurants, making it the largest casino in Illinois. Originally slated for an early 2026 opening, the timeline has been pushed to the first quarter of 2027 due to various delays, including regulatory issues and redesigns. Bally's aims to complete the project early next year.
