Casino Hotels

Four casino hotels in Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia, written up as hotels with gaming as one feature.

Entry 1: Montreal Casino & Hotel

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Two pavilions built for Expo 67 hold this property, on Île Notre-Dame in Parc Jean-Drapeau. The architecture is still its strongest feature.

Several restaurants and bars sit inside the complex. The Jean-Drapeau metro station serves the park, so central Montreal is a short ride away.

Gaming is the largest single element, on a floor that stays open long hours. Plan it as one part of a city stay, alongside the parkland and cycle paths of the islands.

Entry 2: Fallsview Casino Resort

Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

The hotel tower is the core of Fallsview. Several hundred rooms and suites rise above a resort that also holds a spa, restaurants and a row of shops.

A large theatre books concerts and comedy through the year. That gives the property an evening life well beyond its gaming floor.

Gaming runs across a big floor of tables and machines. Because the resort sits in the Fallsview district, the main sights of the city are within walking distance.

Entry 3: River Rock Casino Resort

Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

Close to Vancouver International Airport, River Rock suits a first or last night in the region. The hotel offers a mix of rooms and suites.

There is a theatre for touring shows, several restaurants, and a pool with a fitness area. Canada Line trains stop nearby and run directly into downtown Vancouver.

The gaming floor is large and busy. Still, it sits alongside the hotel rather than defining it.

Entry 4: Casino Rama Resort

Rama, Ontario, Canada

North of Toronto, near Orillia, Casino Rama Resort stands on the lands of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation. Of the four, it is the most rural.

A hotel tower with close to three hundred rooms and suites anchors the property. A spa, several restaurants and a large entertainment centre complete it.

Most visits are planned around a show or a weekend away. The gaming floor keeps long hours, and it is one part of the stay rather than all of it.
