The Hollywood Casino Aurora threw open the doors Wednesday to a new, bigger home.
“This isn’t just a new building. It is an entirely new experience for our guests,” said Greg Moore, the casino’s general manager, during an opening ceremony attended by local elected officials, casino executives, employees and loyal casino patrons.
The crowd included Joe Stupec of Aurora, who has been gambling at the old casino in downtown Aurora for more than 30 years. He was accompanied by Aurora Mayor John Laesch.
“It’s more than I expected,” Stupec said of the new casino at 2500 N. Farnsworth Ave. After the speeches, he headed to one of the tables.
