A lawsuit dating back to 2020 involving Golden Nugget Danville casino has finally come to a close, thanks to a favorable ruling from nearby Coles County Circuit Judge Mark Bovard.
Local metal processing company Mervis Industries filed the suit against the city of Danville after it voted to rezone the casino site, located at 204 Eastgate Drive, from “General Industrial” to “General Business.”
Bovard’s ruling confirmed the Golden Nugget property’s legitimacy last month. The victory became official last week after the timeframe passed for Mervis to appeal the judge’s ruling.
There are more than a dozen casinos operating in the state. Golden Nugget Danville became the 13th Illinois casino when it opened in May. It features 500 slot machines, 14 table games, a sports bar and a Saltgrass Steak House.
