The fact that the place is all non-smoking is wonderful. Some of the laws in Illinois are very good, some not so much. Not a lot of choice or access for the table player. The table games were crowded all the time I was there and there were no pitch blackjack games. The higher value slots are there, but not so many and not a great selection. It also is bigger, and has 2 bars or lounges much nicer than hunting an oasis on the boat. The new casino is right off the hotel lobby, so a lot more convenient than the old boat.
The mailers describing the new casino makes one curious had to take a look.
