The facility will reportedly anchor RockRun Collection, a new super-regional commercial and residential development, conveniently located adjacent to the Interstate 80 and Interstate 55 interchange in Joliet. According to PENN, the $185 million regional destination will feature approximately 850 slots and 44 live table games, including a baccarat room, a retail sportsbook, high-quality bars and restaurants, an approximately 10,000 square foot event center with meeting areas, and approximately 1,330 parking spaces.
Update: Owner PENN Entertainment hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the future Hollywood Casino Joliet on December 13, 2023. The entirely new land-based casino and entertainment facility will replace the Wyomissing, PA-based company's nearby riverboat casino when completed.
