EAST PEORIA (HOI) – The move Monday into Phase 4 for Central Illinois Region 2 will bring expansions of several entertainment options, to include gambling.
Right now, the Par-A-Dice casino in East Peoria closes at 11p.m. each night.
Based on communication from managers to staffers over the weekend though, Boyd Gaming, which owns the Par-A-Dice, is expected to announce expanded hours this week.
The boat will be open until 2:00a.m. Sunday through Thursday and remain open until 4a.m. Friday and Saturday.
50 percent capacity limits are expected with a return of alcohol in the gaming areas and longer hours at the restaurants.
So far, those changes are not reflected on the casino’s website.
