Future Chicago-area casino/resort?

[runnerunner]

We need the next casino in downtown Chicago. Daley's grand plan is to turn the old McCormick Place building into a casino run by the city. This needs to happen. It is ridiculous that there are casinos in downtown St. Louis and Detroit, but not Chicago.

The politicians in the State of Illinois are criminals. As an aggregate they comprise a "continuing criminal enterprise". A gambler wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of making money with a casino inside Chicago. The joint itself would have to pay so much "juice" to the politicians they would have to squeeze the gambler, like a phuckin orange. Check this while the link is still up. Illinois politicians have taken for THEMSELVES, what the outfit used to have.

Very good point RR but it will never happen. Our governor made it clear from day one that he is not a friend of the casinos. The Horseshoe in Hammond will have a new boat soon with a poker room
