Hollywood Casino Joliet: New Location, Dining and Visitor Basics

Hollywood Casino Joliet is a casino and entertainment venue operated by PENN Entertainment. This page covers the practical details a visitor or new resident needs: where it is now, what's on site and the age rule. JolietRent doesn't promote gambling. If gambling is causing problems for you or someone you know, free help is listed at the end of this page.

New address

Hollywood Casino Joliet has moved. Its website gives the new location as:

1401 Gateway Blvd., Joliet, IL 60431

Older maps, GPS databases and directory listings may still show the casino's former address, so enter the new one when you navigate. The casino's Visit Us page links to directions.

Age requirement

The casino's site states that you must be 21 or older to wager.

What's on site

According to the casino's home page and Visit Us page:

• Gaming floor: more than 1,000 slot machines and video poker games, and more than 40 live table games.
• Sportsbook: a sportsbook with a bar and grill and a 42-foot viewing wall.
• Dining: the casino's dining page lists The Boulevard, a dining hall with casual options; Sorellina by Giada, an Italian restaurant from Giada De Laurentiis; and Red Lotus, an Asian restaurant. Sorellina takes reservations through the site.
• Entertainment: live local music, DJs and karaoke, plus ticketed shows sold through Ticketmaster.
• Event Center: space for private parties and meetings.
• EV charging: on-site electric vehicle charging stations. The Visit Us page lists them as Gen3 Universal Wall Connectors with J-1772 and NACS plug types.

The Visit Us page also names chefs Giada De Laurentiis and Shawn McClain among the casino's dining partners. Menus, hours and reservation options are on each restaurant's page, and they change, so check before you go.

Sister property

PENN also operates Hollywood Casino Aurora, which the Joliet site describes as a short drive away in a riverfront setting.

Hotel and overnight stays

The casino's website does not list an on-site hotel at the new location. If you're visiting from out of town, look at hotels elsewhere in Joliet and the I-55 and I-80 corridors; the hotel search link on this page covers the Joliet area.

Getting there

The casino is on the west side of Joliet, in ZIP code 60431. It's a drive from downtown Joliet and from Joliet Gateway Center, where Metra and Amtrak trains stop, so plan on a car, rideshare or taxi. Check Pace's route map if you plan to use public transit.

Responsible gaming

PENN Entertainment's Responsible Gaming page and the casino's website list the National Problem Gambling Helpline, 1-800-GAMBLER, which offers free, confidential help. PENN says it posts responsible gaming signage at its properties showing where to find assistance.
