I'll be in Chicago next week on business, and am hoping to play some blackjack and poker.

Any recommendations on casinos?

Thanks

I don't see anything on the web site about poker?

How about the Horseshoe in Hammond, Indiana - it's only 18 miles from downtown Chicago?

Where should I go for poker & blackjack then?

I used to love the Horseshoe in Tunica, before Harrah's bought them out.

No poker anymore at 4Winds....(

Other than the poker, 4Winds is great and my favorite casino outside of Vegas.
Luckily i only live about 25 minutes away.

4winds is in New Buffalo,MI about 1.5 hours from downtown Chicago

Hammond is your only choice. This is the central hub of poker in the Midwest...Everywhere else is second tier.
