American Place Casino - Waukegan, Illinois

I had a great time at American Place Casino! The atmosphere was vibrant, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. While I didn’t win big, I appreciated the $10 free play to get started. The complimentary soda and coffee were a nice touch, keeping me refreshed as I explored the games. I even donated my small winnings, turning my visit into a fun and rewarding experience. Even without free alcohol, it’s a fantastic spot for entertainment and a good time!

We had been here before but I heard that the Canoe Bar was sporting some cool new drinks and really wanted to stop back here to play a little and try one of the restaurants.

The bartender caught me taking pictures and said it was ok - she even struck a pose! We had a few people hanging out and we were able to try multiple drinks - responsibly! - since we shared them! I have to be honest... I didn't want to share most of them. The flavors jumped out even more than the visual presentation! I can't say the last time - if ever - I have had drinks with layers of flavors like these. Simply Amazing. We were told that there will be fresh drink menus changing with the seasons - I am looking forward to the next set!

If you haven't been to American Place Casino yet, why not?!? Get a Player's Card - they have perks for players - AND drawings for active players! The staff that we interacted with were very friendly, answered questions and made us feel like they appreciated us being there. Some people remember what customer service means - many of those people must work here!

Came to check this place out, when your inside, you would never think you're in a large tent. Was not very crowded when I went. The bartender in the photo was rude. I wouldn't suggest going to her. Maybe she was just overwhelmed or having a bad day. There are many slot machines here, table games as well, blackjack, roulette, also video craps, roulette and poker. Stopped in and got food at the Asia Aztec restaurant. Let me just say that the food is amazing and so is the service. We had Bella for a server, and she's got to be one of the best. Will be back. I would hate to see this place when it's busy since the parking lot is not that big. I was also surprised that this is in the middle of shopping stores. If you gamble or want a really good bite to eat, I recommend checking it out. Giving 4 stars because of the bartender. When you show her the menu and say you'd like to try this and even point to it, and she says which one, and you repeat yourself and point it out on the menu again and she gets frustrated and says she can come back cuz she's got other people waiting n not elaborating on what she's not understanding about what I'm saying or flat out showing her what I'm talking about on the bar menu, I'm not sure what the issue was.

That meal was incredible.
we order fried rice , spring rolls and guacamole chips. And also for dessert Green Tea Ice cream is so good. Love it my favorite. The server name Alicia was a good server .
Nice place to eat and affordable price 👍

I attended the NYE OzTacular Event and I had a ball the entire time. I was at one of the blackjack tables and dealers Fuji and Chris were fantastic, engaging and having fun with everyone at the table. Most of our table played together for more than a couple of hours!! The DJ played all fun dance music so I was dancing in my seat!! All the casino staff made the night a great place to be!!

Lawrence is always smiling and kind and very attentive. He is the reason we keep coming back. There are not many kind people anymore, but he definitely deserves kudos for his character. He is the absolute best!

The food is also great with a good variety. I would recommend this place (and Lawrence) to anyone I know. Thank you!!

Really like this casino thanks to the good video poker selection. Brittany at the Canoe bar was particularly helpful in guiding me among the expanded craft beer choices. I personally liked the new selection! Hope to be back sooner than later

As a frequent visitor of Vegas, I was a little leary of the temporary casino set up. There was no need. There are speakers in the parking lot with music, you walk in and everyone is friendly, it's so clean and smells nice! Lots of games to choose from and a great center bar. Went to get a players card and I even got a first responder sticker! We love appreciation! Bonus that we get 20% off of food and non alcoholic beverages as well as bonuses on Mondays. My friends and I had a few cocktails on a Wednesday night and had a great time taking home a few hundred in winnings. The drinks are extremely affordable. We can't wait to go back!
