Paul:
If you are in Elmhurst you are within driving of Empress Joliet and Harrah's Joliet, as well as Hollywood Aurora, and Grand Victoria in Elgin in Illinois. These boats are all docked, but do have some non-gaming time in the morning. Here are a couple links you can check out.

Word is that there is a new $2.50 at Hollywood in Aurora. Hope to get there this weekend and check it out.
Hope this helps

I am hoping to get to the Chicago show in March. If you are going to be in town Friday night, lmk and maybe we can get together.
Later
