Ultimate plans for Rock Run Crossings include stores, restaurants, hotels and office buildings - none of which have been landed yet, although the casino is likely to have a hotel with it. The theater was announced in 2019, but it is not under construction, and Regal’s parent company went into bankruptcy last year. The only other commercial project announced for the site, however, is a Regal Cinemas movie theater. The gambling venue and apartments fit into a multi-use development plan to create a place to live, work, shop and play within the 309-acre development located near the crossing of Interstates 55 and 80.ĭeveloper Cullinan Properties has described the project as a “super-regional” attraction because of its potential to draw people from Chicago to central Illinois to the location at the interstate crossing, reports Shaw Local. The casino would be located next to a 570-unit apartment complex the city approved last year.

It will also feature approximately 10,000 square feet of meeting areas and an event center. The Joliet project will include a Barstool Sportsbook and high-quality bars and restaurants. In plans shared last year, the company said the venue is expected to include a modern casino with approximately 800 slots and 45 live table games (including a baccarat room). The estimated cost of the project is $185 million. Penn Entertainment said in October that it wanted to start construction on the new casino by late this year when it announced the decision to relocate its existing riverboat casino to the Rock Run Crossings area. Plans call for the Joliet casino to be constructed as part of the Rock Run Crossings development project near the Interstate 80 and 55 interchange, several miles from its current site along the Des Plaines River.The Joliet City council approved plans last week allowing for the development of the new Hollywood Casino Joliet at Rock Run Crossings. The project is subject to regulatory approval. Featuring approximately 900 slots and 50 live table games, the development will also include a baccarat room and a poker room, a Barstool Sportsbook, approximately 200 hotel rooms as well as restaurants and bars, according to Penn Entertainment.Ĭonstruction of the property, which will also feature a full-service spa, meeting space and an event center, will begin in late 2023. The proposed $360 million casino and hotel development in Aurora would be located adjacent to the Chicago Premium Outlets, near Exit 119 off of Interstate 88. Hollywood Casino plans to relocate its casinos in Aurora and Joliet, moving both from riverboat sites to land-based properties near major interstates, the entertainment facilities' parent company announced Monday.
