A Brief History of Bally’s Great Chicago Adventure
Okay, so, originally, Bally's had its eyes on a spot near McCormick Place. Picture this: a casino overlooking Lake Michigan. Sounds dreamy, right? But alas, the Chicago City Council wasn’t feeling it. So, they moved on to Plan B: the James R. Thompson Center. Talk about a change of scenery! But then, poof, that idea went up in smoke too.

The Final Frontier: River West
Finally, after what felt like an eternity of casino limbo, Bally's found its home in River West. They're taking over the old Chicago Tribune Publishing Center. We're talking a whopping 30 acres of prime real estate. Now, that's a lot of space for slots, poker tables, and hopefully a decent buffet.
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.
But let's be real, construction takes time. We're looking at a grand opening in 2026. So, until then, they've got a temporary casino set up in the Medinah Temple. It's like a warm-up act before the main event.
