The wait is nearly over for those looking to visit the new Hollywood Casino Aurora.
The new casino and hotel along Farnsworth Avenue and Bilter Road, near the Interstate 88 interchange and across the street from Chicago Premium Outlets mall, is gearing up to open to the public on Wednesday evening, boasting numerous restaurant offerings, a 226 room-hotel, spa and a gaming floor able to accommodate 1,200 people.
Work on the property has been finishing up in the past few weeks. But, after years of work, the finish line appears near for those involved in bringing the casino to its new home in Aurora.
The new casino— a $360 million project that’s been under construction since 2023 — is replacing the longtime riverboat Hollywood Casino in downtown Aurora, which turned off its lights on June 10 after operating there since the 1990s.
