Bally's Chicago: The Wait is Killing Us (Softly)
So, you wanna know when Bally’s Chicago is actually gonna open, huh? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because this is gonna be a rollercoaster of emotions.
The Great Bally’s Wait
Let’s be honest, the anticipation for Bally’s Chicago is like waiting for your pizza order to arrive when you’re really hungry. It’s a mix of excitement, impatience, and that nagging question: “Is it here yet?”
Bally’s has been promising to bring the glitz and glamour of Vegas to the Windy City for what feels like forever. And while we’re all dreaming of sipping cocktails while watching the riverboats cruise by, reality has been a bit of a slow boat.
A Temporary Fix
To tide us over, they opened a temporary casino at the Medinah Temple. It’s like getting a taste of the main course before the feast. But let’s be real, it’s not quite the grand opening we’ve been waiting for. It’s more like a warm-up act for the main event.
The Permanent Plan
The real deal is supposed to open in 2026. That’s right, folks, you heard it here first: we’ve got a long wait ahead of us. But hey, at least we have something to look forward to, right?
Just kidding. We’re starting to think Bally’s is playing a cruel joke on us. It’s like they’re dangling a carrot in front of our noses and then pulling it away just as we're about to take a bite.
