Wife Denied Entry To Concert Due To Disability

Location: Illinois

Yesterday my wife and I went to Hollywood Casino Aurora in Illinois for a concert and my wife who has an implanted defibrillator and pacemaker and cannot go through metal detectors or be wanded due to the complications it could cause to the hardware attached to her heart, was denied entry to the concert. We showed them her medical card that clearly states she can’t go through the metal detectors or be wanded but they kept trying to push the point and get her to allow them to wand her. Normally in these situations like when we go to the airport, sporting events, other concerts, the cruise we just went on, amusement parks, you name it, they always just pat her down before they let her in. In this case they refused to pat her down and said the only way she can come in is if she gets wanded or goes through a metal detector. I brought up the Americans with Disabilities Act and how it says they have to do an alternative method to allow her to enter but they claimed that the state gaming law supersedes federal law which I’ve never heard of before.

Is this something I should pursue legally? I whole heartedly believe what they did is discrimination to a handicapped person
