Joliet has had riverboat casinos for more than three decades, including Harrah's casino, which is owned by Caesars Entertainment. 'It's going to be so important for this region to develop a destination that functions for everybody and creates the opportunity to have some fun,' said Doug Pryor with Will Co. The site is planned to be a new $185 million casino complex, featuring slot machines and table games along with lots of hotel, restaurant and entertainment space, including a convention center.
