My husband and I are going to be in Chicago the week of July 2 and are staying at the courtyard downtown. I was wondering if there is any casino shuttle bus service available in this area.
Chicago Area Casino Shuttle Bus ServiceI have neither seen nor heard of any casino bus service that takes people from downtown to the casinos. There are no casinos in Chicago itself, but there are in outlying areas such as Joliet, Elgin, and Aurora. It should be relatively easy to take Metra out to these places and either take a bus, cab, or walk to the casino from there.
Chicago Area Casino Shuttle Bus Servicethere is a shuttle that leaves from the Hyatt Regency on Wacker every two hours starting at 12:10pm that goes to the Horseshoe Casino. You are also able to call the Golden Phoenix Shuttle at 312/563-0888.
I think another shuttle for a different casino leaves from Chinatown.
I%26#39;ve seen shuttle buses leaving from Chinatown to the casinos in Northwest Indiana which are the closest to downtown. I%26#39;d recommend calling the casino or checking if there%26#39;s info on their websites, there%26#39;s Horseshoe in Hammond, Resorts in East Chicago, IN and Majestic in Buffington Harbor (aka Gary). I think Trump was bought out by Majestic Star.
The previous poster%26#39;s suggestion is better than mine, I didn%26#39;t know they had them also from the Hyatt, that would be the most convenient. Horseshoe is Hammond is the closest to Chicago.
I was in Chicago last summer, and you can take a Metra train from Union Station downtown to Aurora. The station in Aurora is only about a half mile from the Hollywood casino. I didn%26#39;t see many cabs, but its a pretty easy walk. Its a nice casino, typical of what you see in Indiana / Aurora. I liked it a little better than the Majestic Star / Trump Casino boats in Gary.
You may want to contact some of the casinos directly. As far as I know, there aren%26#39;t any shuttles for the casinos on the Illinois side but the Indiana casinos help subsidize the shuttles that come their way.
