Rivers Casino Des Plaines

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Aqua Bar at Rivers Casino, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment I stepped in, the vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel welcome.

The variety of drinks offered at Aqua Bar is impressive, with skilled bartenders who crafted each cocktail with precision and creativity. The ambiance is perfect for both a casual outing with friends or a more upscale evening.

What truly sets Aqua Bar apart is the breathtaking view of the river, creating a serene backdrop that enhances the overall experience. The seating arrangements are comfortable, allowing guests to relax and enjoy their drinks while taking in the beautiful surroundings.

I must commend the staff for their exceptional service. They were attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable time. It's evident that the team at Aqua Bar values customer satisfaction.

Overall, my visit to Aqua Bar was delightful, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch bar experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Aqua Bar at Rivers Casino is a must-visit destination for a great time with excellent drinks and a stunning view.

Cheers!

Table minimums are higher than I like, but that’s just opinion. They have an ample amount of space dedicated to table games, which is nice. Very friendly staff, Blackjack dealer named Robert was very personable. Ate at one of the restaurants just off the casino floor, the food was good and fairly priced.

The only modern Casino in Chicagoland Area. 10 minute drive from O’Hare International Airport. 30 minute drive from Downtown Chicago. Got all the table games and open till very late. Got some good food options.

If you are looking for hours of playing, eating and fun, this is the place!!! All you want in a casino its in this one.

I liked the casino. I went with my family that likes the casino atmosphere. This casino was lively with music and center bar playing great music with some people dancing. This appears to be a place where young people under 35 hangout for a good time.

There's really no old slots here. I liked that they had lots of table games and poker, although I don't play either.

It just had a nice vibe going on.

Nice, fun, clean casino. Wish they had a hotel attached. Nice DJ. Nice experience

My friend put in 20 walked out with 900$ doesn’t normally happen but it did!! Great little casino was pleasantly surprised how big it actually was! Definitely will go back!!

Absolute crazy story worth hearing, went down to rivers on a late Saturday night. Started at the craps table but due to it being very hot took off my Loui Jacket and placed it on the chair. I ended up walking over to baccarat and came back 30 minutes to realize I didn't have my jacket and when I went back to the table, it was gone. I immediately asked security if they had retrieved it and they hadn't. Supervisor Jonathan came shortly after to get description of the jacket and my number and offered to run a surveillance considering the high price tag on the jacket ( valued around 8K). About 20 minutes later another security guard by the name Andrew had informed me they had retrieved my jacket! I was absolutely in awe at this service by these guys, not only did they retrieve it but turns out the person was in their vehicle in the garage and they tracked him all the way there. They reported to PD who eventually went to retrieve the jacket. I said I didn't want to press any charges, I got my jacket, and then Jonathan proceeded to escort my friends and I to our cars.

Thank you!

Well lit clean place. Super convenient! You pull in, you go right into the parking garage, a short walk to the elevator, inside the elevator there's a huge red button that says Casino and it lets you out at the top of the escalator. Couldn't be any more easy. I like the way they had signage to the tables because all you first see are slot machines. Very user friendly.
Dealers were great all the dealers we met were courteous, helpful and made for a good experience.
We did not have anything to eat there or drink so don't know anything about prices or quality. But the casino itself is safe and offers a good time.

Friendly dealers and table supervisors. Excellent pan-Asian restaurant (Mian) on 2nd floor.

Lunch at Hugo's was very good. $200 for 1 lb of king crab is a little pricy! Steak prices are still reasonable. Didn't have any oysters that day which was a bummer.

A+++ NO SMOKING! SAFE! Smells great! The three most wonderful ladies at the welcome counter! Professional, clear instructions, not rushing us off, perfect and nice! The face of the casino is this first place we stop and Bree, Susan, and Dorothy made our first impression here as one of our favorite casinos we have ever visited. My wife is a retired flight attendant and I’m retired Navy. Been to hundreds of casinos and I can say this one is Safe! No crack heads like MGM in Vegas lol… I witnessed the guy next to me win over $4000 on the slots! Took a photo to prove it. We got a free soda drink without an attitude like we normally always get from other casinos. Wish there was a free soda station, but it was not hard to find the waitress. I received a military card that gave us 25% off food so that was cool. New customers receive $10 to play with and a great band to hold your card to your pants. Finally have a place where every race can mingle without anything feeling strange. This place is perfect for adults to come and have fun!!! Without a worry… great tables live energy.

Come here once in a while with my dad. The food is great. We usually get the Rivers Burger and then play some slots for fun. The experience of the entire place is cozy and nice. Would definitely recommend coming and checking it out!!

It is a nice place to visit. The Flip is delicious. I had an amazing Philly Cheese Steak sandwich! They have several restaurants and I can’t wait to see what else they have to offer!!!

Terrible just terrible. I couldn’t believe it when I was there I went through all my life savings even called up my bank and refinance the house and still lost all of that as well. The lady who is managing the slot machines was definitely rigging them so I couldn’t win and the manager of the casino came over to me put his hand on my shoulder and said don’t worry your big win is almost there and the guy next to me was so nice he lend me $40 and I put it all on red and it quadrupled into $50 billionand I was an instant millionaire I could not believe it, and Donald Trump personally wrote me a letter saying that I have made it in life

I ended up here when I met up with a friend to go to Hugo's Frog Bar and Chop House. We didn't realize it is deep inside the casino. The only way to get to the restaurant is by entering the casino. It's very bright and overwhelming at first. So many colorful slot machines. Several bars to choose from. The food at Hugo's, everything I got there was tasty. They have the biggest and tastiest crem brule I've ever had. I ate then played 3 card poker. Went to two other bars inside the casino then played some slots. Very fun time.

We were at a wedding in reception in the event hall. The food was great, location fun , family and dancing what more can ask for in life!

Big poker player. Best poker room in the Midwest and outside of Vegas probably a top contender. The rake is $6+1 capped. If you get a players card they offer a $1/hr redeemable at the restaurants downstairs. 4 restaurants: Hugo Frogs chop house (I had the ribeye sandwich with a sweet potato 2x, it’s good), Flipped (burgers and such), a taco place (I do not recommend that spot) and Mian (Asian restaurant, their food is good).
I don’t play table games but they have all the standard ones.
They have a huge sports book with theater seating. Very comfortable.
Staff are friendly. My only complaint is the waitresses are a bit slow servicing the poker room but there are usually only 1 or 2 staff serving a room of 100+ people. So it seems rather fair in that sense.
Compared to other casinos I’ve been to definitely a 5/5.

Kenny G and war was awesome rivers so far have been booking some great entertainers at there venue this new venue the place is clean what they have done has improved the place I just miss the cube dance floor I had a ball at the concert last minute Kenny g was sold out but I got to hear a little bit before it was over war I was able to get in and had great seats thought I would share my photos from seeing war which happened to fall right in my birthday 🎂 Kenny G was amazing I was right by the security guard listening he was sold out though because I don't live that far I just took my chances and went up there and was lucky enough to hear some of the phoneminal music by Kenny before it was over beautiful just beautiful rivers should have more tickets for fokes when they sell out like that but overall great night 🌙 😇🤗

My wife and I visited after celebrating 30 years of marital bliss. Although we didn't win, we had an amazing time together. We played slots, went into bonuses, and rooted for one another. Rivers Casino is fun, exciting , and an adventure within itself.
