And both run 24 hours. You also have minimal NIMBY issues here. McCormick will be happy the casino won't be right in convention-goer's faces, and yet it's still easily accessible to convention-goers. You can easily draw from people seeking nightlife in nearby hoods, without detracting from those existing scenes. Essentially you get a downtown location without all the problems of being downtown.

Yeah, close enough to the train stations that it can bring in day trips from the burbs, close enough to the L/buses for chicagoans, and in a desirable yet underdeveloped location. Because it makes so much sense, we can now scratch it off the list, because the city doesn't make logical financial moves
