I was in Chicago on business and bored one evening when I found out that you can pick up a free shuttle to the Horseshoe from the Hyatt. Why not? So I did and had a great night at the tables only to return w/ a few more hundreds in my pockets than I left w/. I found the casino to be nice, clean and had a friendly staff. Plenty of open tables, slots and video poker. I played blackjack and did pretty well. I have returned about 3-4 times since. Highly recommended.
Pros: Just 20 minutes from Downtown Chicago w/ a FREE shuttle!
Cons: No poker room. :-( Not as glitsy as Vegas but what else is?
