Bally's Chicago is a casino and entertainment venue temporarily located in the Medinah Temple Building, and a planned integrated resort that will be built on the North Branch of the Chicago River in Chicago. In May 2022, then Mayor Lori Lightfoot approved Bally's Corporation's bid to construct a casino complex in the city. The complex will be in the city's River West neighborhood, near Grand Avenue, Chicago Avenue and Halsted Street. The plan was approved by the Chicago City Council in May 2022, and a State of Illinois gambling license was issued in 2023. The integrated resort began construction in 2024, and is expected to open in 2026. Demolition of the old structures on site began in August 2024.
