The opening of a south suburban casino is scheduled for fall of next year, months later than officials had previously estimated, according to redevelopment agreements approved by two south suburbs.
Wind Creek Hospitality is building the casino and hotel southwest of the interchange of Interstate 80 and Halsted Street, with the 73,000-square-foot casino on property within East Hazel Crest and parking garages on adjacent land in Homewood.
Wind Creek estimated last summer the casino would be ready for customers by later this year or early 2024, but redevelopment agreements approved by both suburbs — East Hazel Crest in May and Homewood on June 27 — give an estimated project completion date of Jan. 1, 2025.
