As of January 2025[update] it is the temporary home of Bally's Chicago casino, while the $1.7B permanent location is being constructed nearby.

Additionally, WGN-TV used the Medinah Temple for "The Bozo 25th Anniversary Special" (telecast live September 7, 1986).

In June 2019, Bloomingdale's parent company, Macy's, sold the building to Chicago developer Al Friedman.

It is expected to remain at Medinah Temple until the casino's permanent location in the River West neighborhood is completed in 2026.
