Hollywood Casino Joliet Review Jump to comments

Update: Owner PENN Entertainment hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the future Hollywood Casino Joliet on December 13, 2023. The entirely new land-based casino and entertainment facility will replace the Wyomissing, PA-based company's nearby riverboat casino when completed. According to PENN, the $185 million regional destination will feature approximately 850 slots and 44 live table games, including a baccarat room, a retail sportsbook, high-quality bars and restaurants, an approximately 10,000 square foot event center with meeting areas, and approximately 1,330 parking spaces.

The facility will reportedly anchor RockRun Collection, a new super-regional commercial and residential development, conveniently located adjacent to the Interstate 80 and Interstate 55 interchange in Joliet.

The move onto land was made possible by a law signed in 2019 that allowed for riverboat casinos to relocate landside. The existing Hollywood Casino Joliet, which is located on the Des Plaines River, will maintain its normal operations while the new land-based facility is constructed, which is anticipated to take approximately 24 months.

At Hollywood Casino Joliet you can enjoy the newly remodeled 50,000 square floor casino floor with more than 900 of the best slots and video poker machines, a great selection of table games such as blackjack, craps, roulette, and more, and a 5-table live action poker room. But that isn't a Hollywood experience unto itself.

You need to throw in a luxury hotel, several fine dining options, Hollywood Stadium sports bar and restaurant with up to 8 games showing at once on a huge 80x20-foot video screen along with dozens of flatscreens. Then you take the red carpet service always afforded at this fine property and you start to get a feel for the life of a star.

Located just 35 minutes from Chicago, about the only real competition for good times anywhere near here is Hollywood's sister casino, Hollywood Casino Aurora. But in Joliet, you have more options including a seasonal RV Resort - the only on-site RV Resort in Northern Illinois.
