American Place is getting ready to break ground this fall on its permanent resort and casino in Waukegan after ranking among the top revenue-producing casinos in Illinois as a temporary facility for more than two years.
“It’s exciting,” Alex Stolyar, the senior vice president and chief development officer of American Place owner Full House Resorts, said. “We’ve been waiting a long time for this, and now we can start building to transition to a permanent casino.”
When the first phase is complete, Jeff Babinski, American Place’s vice president and general manager, said the 200,000-square-foot building will house more than 1,200 slot machines, over 60 table games, restaurants, a food hall, a sports book and a poker room.
