No only that, but it would be impossible to get a cab back from the boat. Definitely get a car. O'Hare is on the expressway you take to trump. It's pretty much a straight shot. Of course it's on the Kennedy...

Billboards on the road all still say Trump, and so do the chips, but the old signage is down and the casino is actually called Majestic Star now.

you can also take the el from ohare to downtown and catch one of the many freeor really cheap) busses that they run to trump and resorts. i know one of the resorts busses leaves from bridgeport by chinatown, but there are more locations.

I'm fairly certain Resorts does not allow you to listen to music.

They do, I take my iPod every time.

Can you call ahead to put your name on the waiting list like at Trump?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, I would advise it the lists are usually long and about half the list is call-ins.

Harrahs(now Resorts) has 16 tables and usually at least 4or5 of them are 5-10 but they have higher if you want

Hey all...since Potowatomi no longer spreads 10-20, I'm looking for a soft 10-20 up to 20-40 game in the Chicago area. Which is my best bet?

Resorts. Been playing 10-20 almost every weekend latley and it's great. Much softer than Potawatomi from my experience.

April 1 the Dan Ryan turns into a great big parking lot. 80-94 construction is still going on just over the Indiana border, so 294 isn't a good option. Does anybody have a suggestion for a faster route from Chicago to Resorts?

Might have to take Lake Shore Drive to Stoney Island to the Skyway to avoid the Ryan construction. I tried it coming home last weekend during the snow. Not too bad and better than the Ryan parking lot.
