A casino and luxury hotel could soon be coming to the south suburbs.
The proposal calls for a nearly 64,000 square-foot casino floor that would have more than 1,300 slot machines and 56 game tables as well as an entertainment center, three restaurants, two bars, a skyline lounge and a 251 room luxury hotel with an indoor pool and spa.
"Wind Creek Hospitality has a proven track record of success in developing high-quality and successful casino and entertainment projects, and we're excited about the opportunity to bring one to Illinois," said Brent Pinkston, chief operating officer of Wind Creek Hospitality. "East Hazel Crest and Homewood are two strong and stable communities, with visionary leadership. We believe this partnership and the prime, easy-to-access location creates a solid foundation for the quality casino and entertainment complex we hope to develop - one that will maximize revenue and bring sustained benefits to the entire south suburban region."
Wind Creek Hospitality plans to submit an application to build a casino that would be located off of I-80 near Halsted and 175th streets in Homewood and East Hazel Crest.
