Bally's expects to open in fall of 2026
Bally's expects to open in fall of 2026Demolition began Tuesday on the new Bally's casino Chicago, as chairman Soo Kim promised the project, including a hotel, will be done in 2026.Demolition started Tuesday, at the future home of Bally's permanent Chicago casino.
It's estimated demolition will take three to four months, with crews working 12 hours a day, seven days a week. Officials say they hope to be breaking ground on the new casino by the end of the year."We're really excited to put something here that benefits Chicago as a whole," Bally's chairman Soo Kim said.
"Instead of throwing paper, we're going to welcome guests, millions and millions of guests," Kim said.A temporary casino opened nearly a year ago inside River North's Medinah temple has underperformed. That's led to questions regarding whether the deal, inked two years ago by former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's administration with the stated purpose of funding Chicago's Police and Fire pensions, is a good one.
