Hollywood Casino Aurora is transitioning from its riverboat legacy to a new $360 million land-based resort near Chicago Premium Outlets, expected to open in 2026. The new property will feature a modern Event Center, a 4-star hotel with roughly 220 rooms, a full-service spa, and diverse dining options including a steakhouse and Asian noodle bar. While the current riverboat location remains operational, the upcoming Event Center promises approximately 12,000 square feet of dedicated meeting and conference space.
