Elite Casino Resorts announced it will develop Walker’s Bluff Casino Resort in Williamson County, Illinois in a single phase—as long as the Illinois Gaming Board grants approval. Elite Casino Resorts Chief Executive Officer Dan Kehl said, “We are hopeful for a positive outcome that gives us the privilege to open a premier casino resort in Illinois. The new proposed construction schedule allows us to open the casino, hotel, spa and all of our signature Elite amenities sooner, giving new customers a great first impression of the new Walker’s Bluff Casino Resort.”
The proposed casino resort will feature more than 650 slot machines, 20 table games, ELITE Sportsbook, 116-room hotel, pool, spa, retail shop, show lounge, event center and a steakhouse and sports lounge.
Walker’s Bluff Casino Resort Partner Cynde Bunch commented, “Together with Elite Casino Resorts and the Kehl Family, Southern Illinois will build a destination gaming resort experience that will provide good jobs and a solid foundation for tourism as a new industry for our region. With our shared values of connection and excellence, we will continue to build opportunities that support a strong, prosperous and diverse community.”
