Construction of the new $360 million Hollywood Casino-Aurora resort is progressing on schedule and within budget, Aurora officials announced on Thursday.
The new location of the city’s Hollywood Casino, along Farnsworth Avenue and Bilter Road, across the street from Chicago Premium Outlets mall and near the Interstate 88 interchange, is set to replace the casino currently in downtown Aurora. It is expected to have 1,200 gaming positions, about 220 hotel rooms, a retail sportsbook, an outdoor entertainment area, many bars and restaurants, a full-service spa and a roughly 12,000-square-foot event center with meeting areas, according to past reporting.
