I highly recommend playing at any other Casino besides Hammond Horseshoe. Went to see a concert. Security was out of control. Telling people to sit down, stop dancing, don't take pictures while hundreds of flashes are going off. Not good for a rock concert. Had about 30 security guards and only one bartender at main center bar. Slots do not payback at all, I tried all different denominations. No Hotel. Received free buffet for spending $50 not 30 minutes as advertised. Food at buffet made me sick 15 minutes after I ate. Drink prices are out of control high!!! Physical condition of outside casino is horrible. stay home or burn your money again go to any other casino!
Rebuilt casino is very nice! Buffet has beautiful view of Lake Michigan. Table game limits are high on weekends but reasonable early. Slots galore. Nice sports bar in middle of casino to catch a score or watch a game with friends. Entertainment venue upstairs. Diamond club also has a view of the lake. Negatives - Smoking allowed at tables (cough,cough.) Most cell phones don't work in this casino. Slot payback not the greatest.
Nice selection of slots, high minimums on table games, good buffet. Most beautifull casino in Chicagoland (should be for a 1/2 billion dollar barge). Decent video poker available at the $1 level.
Biggest downside.....NO HOTEL!!! $500,000,000 spent and did not include a hotel!!!
