I don't, but you sure do post a lot for a new user. 5 posts in 6 minutes. With how fast you read all the strings and then post, you should be able to find a good Casino in the Chicago area in no time.

There's a horseshoe 20 - 30 minutes away in Indiana .
Will be there for a business conference next month and let you know how the Blackjack limits are.

When I was there I remember limits from $10-$10,000. That was more than four years ago.

Yeah last time I was at Horseshoe Hammond there were some $10 3:2 blackjack games. This was a couple years ago.
I actually preferred their Spanish 21 tables over blackjack.

I went to Rivers Des Plaines last year. They had $10 3:2 as well.
Rivers is right by O'Hare, and you can get there easily via public transport. There is a free shuttle that picks you up at the Rosemont Blue Line El station.
There's also Harrah's Joliet, which had $10 3:2 last time I was there. The property is nice, but some of the surrounding parts of the downtown area are a little run down. It's also a bit of a hike from downtown Chicago.
ETA: There is also a Hollywood Casino in Joliet. I preferred it over Harrah's back when it was the Argosy Empress. I haven't been back since it changed hands 10 years ago or so.

Majestic Star (Gary, Indiana) will have the lowest minimums for BJ, Rivers the highest. If you go during prime time Rivers is a $50 place, Grand Victoria will be $25. Majestic will be $10, maybe $5 on an off night.
