Glass is being installed along the Chicago River on the east façade of Bally’s Casino. There may well be some over on the west side of the building as well, but with the Chicago Avenue Bridge closed, we didn’t make it over to that side of the project. But we did get a good look at the north end of the building from the Halsted Pointe construction site, and can confirm there had been no glass installed there yet as of June 6, when all of the photos in this gallery were taken.

As for the hotel tower, that too is topped out, and glass progress is quickly approaching the highest levels.
