The Grand Victoria and the years Illinois made its casinos cruise
1994
Elgin, Illinois
Illinois legalised gambling in 1990 on the condition that it happen on a boat, so the Grand Victoria opened here on 6 October 1994 and took its customers out onto the Fox River on scheduled sailings. It was the top grossing casino in Illinois for much of the 1990s and now runs third. The cruising requirement went away in 2000 and the boat has not really been a boat since, though the licence still describes one.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
