Construction on the new $360 million Hollywood Casino-Aurora resort has shifted indoors as officials say the outside is nearly complete.
The new location of the city’s Hollywood Casino — which is located 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. Construction officially broke ground in November 2023.
In a recent interview with The Beacon-News, Hollywood Casino-Aurora Vice President and General Manager Greg Moore said the new casino and resort is still on track to open in the first half of 2026. The exterior of the building is mostly done, except for some digital billboards that still need to be hung, and much of the landscaping is in, he said.
