Why Chicagoans Pick Rivers
Closest Casino to Chicago
Rivers Casino Des Plaines sits 18 miles from downtown, closer than any Indiana casino and reachable in under 30 minutes via I-90 West. For Chicagoans wanting a 'quick casino night,' Rivers is the no-brainer choice. Drive home is just as fast.
Open 24/7 Year-Round
Rivers Casino operates 24 hours, 365 days a year. Late-night arrivals are common. Some Royal Carriage casino bookings start at 11pm and return at 4-5am. Our dispatch is staffed 24/7 for these late returns.
Smoking + Non-Smoking Floors
Rivers has separated smoking and non-smoking gaming floors, important for groups with mixed preferences. The non-smoking floor is on the upper level. Worth noting if you're planning a group outing with non-smoker objections.
VIP / High-Roller Programs
If you're a Rivers Rush Rewards member at Diamond/Platinum level, the casino offers complimentary or comped limo service through their hosts. Royal Carriage is on Rivers' approved transportation vendor list. You can request us by name when calling your host.
About Rivers Casino Des Plaines
Rivers Casino sits at 3000 South River Road in Des Plaines, a few minutes from O'Hare and roughly 18 miles from the Loop. It is the closest casino to downtown Chicago, no state-line crossing, no long Indiana haul, which is exactly why it draws the “quick casino night” crowd from the city and the northwest suburbs. The single gaming floor packs in slots, table games, and a poker room, with several bars and restaurants, and its proximity to the airport makes it a natural stop for travelers with a long layover.
For groups, the short drive is the selling point: you can be at the tables 25 to 30 minutes after leaving downtown and home just as fast. That keeps the round-trip wait packages affordable compared with the Indiana casinos, where the mileage adds up.
Pair It With an Airport Run
Because Rivers is minutes from O'Hare, it pairs naturally with an airport trip. Travelers facing a long layover sometimes book a car from the terminal to the casino and back; others finish a night at the tables with a drop straight at departures the next morning. We handle both as a single booking rather than two separate fares, and your chauffeur tracks the flight on the airport leg.
Diamond and Platinum members of the casino's Rush Rewards program can sometimes arrange comped or reimbursed transport through their host, Royal Carriage is on the approved-vendor side of that, so you can request us by name when you call. Cash bookings are quoted upfront and fixed up front regardless of how the night goes.

Yes. Round-trip with wait service is the most popular Rivers Casino booking. Driver parks in the casino's complimentary self-park lot (covered) and waits. You text dispatch when ready to leave, driver pulls up at the main entrance within 5-10 minutes. No standing outside or hunting for an Uber at 2am.
Yes. The 26-passenger party bus accommodates 18 with comfortable spacing. For groups of 14 or fewer, the Sprinter van is sufficient. We don't recommend two separate cars for a single group: synchronizing pickups, parking, and returns becomes a coordination headache that defeats the purpose.
Yes. Rivers has full security presence, 24/7 valet, and surveillance throughout the gaming floors and parking lots. The risk is the late-night drive home if anyone has been drinking. A professional driver makes this a non-issue. Royal Carriage drivers are drug-tested every 6 months and MVR-screened annually.
Yes: bachelor parties, milestone birthdays, and corporate outings to Rivers are common bookings. Most groups book a 26-passenger party bus round-trip with 5-6 hour casino wait time. Onboard sound system, refreshment cooler, and LED lighting create an extension of the casino party energy.
Yes. Royal Carriage covers Chicagoland-accessible casinos including Horseshoe Hammond, Four Winds South Bend, Blue Chip Michigan City, Hard Rock Northern Indiana, Ameristar East Chicago, and Majestic Star Gary. Distance varies, Rivers is the closest, others range from 30-90 minutes from Chicago.
Diamond and Platinum-tier Rivers Rush Rewards members may qualify for comped or partial-reimbursement limo service through their casino host. Talk to your host before booking. They can arrange it directly with Royal Carriage as a preferred vendor. Standard cash bookings don't qualify for points reimbursement.
