The Chicago Plan Commission has endorsed a Bally’s casino plan at the corner of Chicago Avenue and Halsted Street, which makes the $1.7 billion dream closer to becoming a reality. Per ABC7, “The Chicago Plan Commission endorsed the Bally’s proposal embraced by Mayor Lori Lightfoot which includes a 500-room hotel, a 3,000-seat theater and event center and a riverwalk. The casino would get 4,000 gaming positions.”
