Three Chicago casino bids have been named as finalists for the location of the city's first casino site.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot's office confirmed Tuesday they've cut the deck of finalists down from five possible locations. The finalist are Hard Rock Chicago, Rivers 78 and Bally's Tribune location.
The Hard Rock Chicago would be built right near Soldier Field. The Bally's Tribune proposed site is along the river by Chicago Avenue. And the Rivers 78 site would be part of a planned development along the river near Clark and Roosevelt.That one is particularly exciting for the owner of Emeche Cakery and Café in Bronzeville, who is part of that bid and would be able to open a second location in the casino if it ends up winning.
The two locations eliminated included on that would have converted the Lakeside Center at McCormick Place into a casino, and another that would have been built in the truck marshaling lot just south of there.
