Hollywood Casino Joliet

Joliet, IL

The new $185 million land-based Hollywood Casino Joliet is scheduled to open in August 2025. It will be located 1401 Gateway Blvd., in Joliet, IL - within an hour's drive to Chicago. Our state-of-the-art destination entertainment facility will anchor Rock Run Collection, a new super-regional commercial and residential development. 

This new best-in-class property will feature approximately 1,000 slots and 43 live table games, including a Baccarat room, a retail ESPN BET Sportsbook, an approximately 10,000 square foot Event Center with meeting areas, and roughly 1,330 parking spaces. 

PENN has partnered with McClain Camarota Hospitality (“MCH”) to bring prominent Chicago chefs and restaurants to Hollywood Casino Joliet. Through this partnership, the property will feature the Boulevard Food & Drink Hall, a dynamic dining experience that will include Lucky Goat, an all-new burger concept from celebrity chef Stephanie Izard; Antique Taco, the first suburban location for the popular gourmet taco restaurant; Pretty Cool Ice Cream, the Chicago favorite that also has store fronts in Logan Square and Lincoln Park; and Five50 Pizza, a New York-style meets Neapolitan pizza concept offering from the fine dining chefs at MCH.

The operations from our existing Hollywood Casino Joliet, which is located on the Des Plaines River, will transfer to our new property over the next few months.
