The casino will be more than a place to test your luck, with plans also include a packed layout filled with restaurants, a park, sports bars, an exhibition hall, and various other attractions. Chicago Ave., the project is set to build on a portion of the Tribune Publishing Center at Tribune Publishing Plant. If approved by the gaming board, it would be the first-ever casino in Chicago, drawing crowds to the prime River West location.
The space, which was the Chicago Tribune’s former newsroom and printing plant, will sit on over 30 acres of land.
