Rivers Casino Des Plaines is a modern casino and entertainment complex distinguished by its sustainable design: the property became the first casino in the world to achieve LEED Gold certification. The complex has expanded over the years, including a major two-level addition that introduced extra gaming areas, a poker room and dedicated event facilities. For concerts, private functions and other programs, the approximately 10,000-square-foot Event Center is especially relevant, accommodating up to around 1,200 guests depending on the setup.
Inside, spacious gaming areas are complemented by restaurants, bars, a poker room and the BetRivers Sportsbook. Dining ranges from quick and casual options to full-service restaurants and cocktail lounges, making the property suitable for a complete evening out rather than gaming alone. The Event Center provides a more focused setting for performances and organized events, while the wider casino retains an energetic, open atmosphere.
The venue is located at 3000 S River Rd, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018, United States. Drivers can use the multi-level parking garage connected to the complex, with valet service also available, while taxis and rideshare vehicles serve the southeast entrance. A complimentary shuttle also connects the casino with the Rosemont CTA Blue Line station.
