Mayor Lori Lightfoot is about to name her choice of a site and a developer for a big Chicago casino, according to a report.
says the mayor is expected to give the nod to Bally's to build near Chicago and Halsted — currently the site of the Chicago Tribune's Freedom Center.

Each also promises live entertainment venues, a new hotel, and up to eight restaurants — and some local chef entrepreneurs want a piece of that pie. A proposed Rivers Casino near the Chicago River and Roosevelt Road promises about 4,000 construction jobs and 3,000 permanent jobs.Bally's Corporation would build near the Chicago Tribune printing plant at Chicago Avenue and the Chicago River, promising to hire 9,700 workers during construction and 2,000 permanently.
