Par-A-Dice Hotel and Casino

Construction on a new $100 million Central Illinois casino project could begin next year.

East Peoria is moving forward with the process at least several months in the making to create a new TIF district along its riverfront surrounding the Par-A-Dice Hotel and Casino.

The Peoria City Council approved hiring an investment banking consultant and a legal services firm for the purpose of pursuing a casino in Peoria.

Boyd Gaming CEO Keith Smith tells investors the the era of three-story riverboats like the current Par-A-Dice Hotel & Casino may be over.

The City of Peoria is looking to take its first official steps toward luring Boyd Gaming’s local casino from its current East Peoria riverboat to a land-based facility within the city.

East Peoria Mayor John Kahl says he’s committed to making sure the city maintains a welcoming atmosphere for businesses, and that’s a big reason behind the move to establish a TIF district along the Illinois River.

The mayors of Peoria and East Peoria aren’t saying much about the possibility of Boyd Gaming abandoning the region’s current riverboat casino in favor of a land-based operation on the other side of the Illinois River.
