About this Article
After its first full calendar year of operation, the Rivers Casino in Des Plaines remains at the top of the Illinois gambling scene with revenues nearly double the next-highest grossing casino, the Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin. State Rep. Marty Moylan, who was Des Plaines' mayor until Dec. 31, attributed the Rivers Casino's success to a mix of quality, location and novelty. The casino, which opened in July 2011, is near O'Hare International Airport and Rosemont's entertainment amenities.Latest Galleries
