A clout-heavy group of casino developers on Thursday pitched South Loop residents on their plan to build a brand new “neighborhood from the ground up” that they say will create a new “epicenter of Chicago tourism.”
The proposal spearheaded by billionaire casino tycoon Neil Bluhm’s Rush Street Gaming and Chicago megadeveloper Related Midwest has its sights set on a rare slice of undeveloped Loop-adjacent land south of Roosevelt Road and west of Clark Street.
"A casino in my neighborhood is not going to do anything for me," an 11-year-old South Looper said. "How can I feel safer as a kid when you build a casino as my neighbor?" The Rivers 78 team argued their $1.6 billion bid stands out with an extension of the Chicago Riverwalk to Ping Tom Park, a 300-room hotel and a 1,078-foot observation tower that Related Midwest president Curt Bailey has dubbed "an Eiffel Tower for Chicago."
