NMRA/NMCA Super Bowl Host Hotel!!!

here is anoter hotel you could use. has a kitchen! For extended stays, relocation or vacation in the Chicago area – TownePlace Suites Joliet South
it's just across the highway from the empress.

That one must be brand spankin new!
It's not even on the google satellite map yet:?
But according to the address it must be right in between the Fairfield and the Hampton. The map does show an open area there.

Fairfield is 1501 Riverboat Center , Marriott is 1515, and Hampton is 1521.

Looks real nice, only $10 more at $119.
Hampton is most expensive at $129

Attention!!!

ATTENTION!!! The EMPRESS HOTEL AND CASINO is CLOSED!!!! On Friday, the casino caught fire and is closed until further notice! I have talked with a person in charge and she has informed me that they haven't started informing people yet because even the computers are frozed from the fire. They have no way to get the information to contact any of the people who have made reservations. Also, at this time, they were NOT offering any help in finding rooms for those who have already made reservations so her suggestion was to make reservations at another hotel and hope that the Empress reopens in time for the event.

Just a heads up.

That's good to here. I had no doubts that this would be an issue the casinos make a killing so $$$$ is not an issue for repairs just time.
 
Casino is set to re-open in June, so I would think the hotel would too.

Dear Guests:

As promised, I wanted to keep you updated on our plans as we work to quickly and safely reopen Empress Casino Joliet. I’m pleased to say I have good news on every score!

First of all, Empress Casino Joliet is on track to reopen in late June. We have demolished the remaining structure and are in the process of constructing a brand-new temporary entranceway into the casino. When we reopen, we will be returning with a totally new casino floor complete with your favorite slot and video poker machines, as well as all your favorite table games. Plus, we’ll offer a buffet and deli right on the casino floor. So rest assured: All the gaming fun you love at Empress Casino will be back before you know it! Plus, you’ll also want to check out our new High Limits gaming area; and for our VIP players, we’ll be featuring an all-new luxurious and state-of-the-art VIP Lounge.

There’s also a lot more to look forward to in the long term! Empress Casino will continue rebuilding our pavilion so it’s bigger and better than ever. More fine dining. More style. More options. More fun. Get ready, because the excitement is only going to build.
