In addition, the adjacent hotel will have 200 rooms ready to accommodate customers. The relocated venue will sport 50 live gaming tables and 900 slot machines. In addition to costing $360 million, the project will see the Aurora casino expanded.
The open house event confirmed that construction works are expected to begin later in 2023 if Penn Entertainment successfully secures all necessary approvals. City officials and developers attended the two-hour event, answering people’s questions about the relocation of the casino. Since the casino company seeks to keep fans in touch with the latest developments in the project, Hollywood Casino Resort invited the locals to hear more. This follows Penn Entertainment’s decision to relocate the casino in Aurora, Illinois – an operation expected to cost $360 million. Hollywood Casino Resort just held a two-hour open house for local residents, allowing them to gain insights into its new project planned near Interstate 88.
