Suze - I am from the Chicago area but we do go to Four Winds every now and then. Out of all the casinos in the Chicago/Indiana/Michigan area, Four Winds is our favorite but takes the longest to get to (usually a little under 2 hours, depending on traffic and construction.) It definitely feels like we are on vacation when we are there!
Hi @anni62, from where in the Chicago area are you? I'm from Bartlett which is a western suburb.
I too love going to FW, even though it's a bit of a drive. I agree that going there feels like a getaway!
