Montréal Casino & Hotel

Île Notre-Dame, Montréal, Québec, Canada

Overview

Montréal Casino & Hotel stands on Île Notre-Dame in the Saint Lawrence, on ground built for the world exposition once held in the city. The complex reuses pavilion buildings from that period and has been extended since. It is written up here as a hotel and public complex, and the gaming floor is not described.

What it looks like

The main pavilion is a tall glazed structure with sloping walls and terraces, joined to lower buildings by walkways. Interiors are arranged around open floors and staircases that carry between levels. Restaurants and a hall for live programmes occupy parts of the complex. Windows face the river and the city skyline.

The area

Île Notre-Dame is a man-made island in the park that also carries gardens, the rowing basin and the racing circuit. Paths and a bridge connect it to Île Sainte-Hélène and to the metro. Central Montréal lies across the water to the north.

Practical notes

Access is by bridge, metro and bus, so decide how you will reach the island. Parts of the site host events, and parking arrangements change accordingly. Age limits apply to parts of the complex, and current rules should be confirmed with the operator before you travel.

Fallsview Casino Resort

Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

Overview

Fallsview Casino Resort is built into the escarpment above the Niagara gorge, on the Canadian side of the falls. The complex holds a hotel, a theatre, a spa, restaurants and retail galleries across several levels. Escalators carry between them, since the building follows the slope. The gaming floor is not described here.

What it looks like

The building steps down the hillside, with a glazed rotunda at the upper entrance. Interior galleries run between levels under high ceilings, lined with shop and restaurant frontages. A theatre with tiered seating occupies one wing. Windows on the upper floors look towards the gorge and the falls.

The area

The site sits above the tourist streets of Niagara Falls, with the parkway and the water below it. Hotels and attractions line the surrounding blocks. Walking routes and an incline railway connect the ridge with the level beside the river.

Practical notes

The complex is large and spread over levels, so allow time to move between them. Theatre programmes and hotel stays are booked separately from each other. Age limits apply to parts of the site; confirm current rules and opening hours with the operator before travelling.

River Rock Casino Resort

Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

Overview

River Rock Casino Resort stands beside the middle arm of the Fraser River in Richmond, close to Vancouver International Airport. The complex holds hotel buildings, a show theatre, a spa, restaurants and a marina along the water. Rapid transit connects the site with central Vancouver. The gaming floor is not described here.

What it looks like

Buildings are grouped around a covered entrance, with a hotel block and a lower theatre wing beside it. A walkway and moorings run along the riverbank behind the complex. Interiors are broad and carpeted, with restaurant frontages off the main circulation. Upper rooms face either the river or the airport approach.

The area

Richmond spreads out around the site, with roads, shopping centres and the airport nearby. The riverside path continues along the arm past boats and low industrial ground. A transit station near the entrance runs north into Vancouver, and the airport lies a short way west.

Practical notes

Flight paths pass close by, which is worth weighing when choosing a room. Theatre nights change how busy the site is. Age limits apply to parts of the complex, and current rules and opening hours should be confirmed with the operator before you travel.

Casino Rama Resort

Rama, Ontario, Canada

Overview

Casino Rama Resort is located on the lands of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation in central Ontario, near Orillia and Lake Couchiching. The complex holds a hotel, an entertainment centre, restaurants, a spa and a golf course. It stands away from any city centre. The gaming floor is not described here.

What it looks like

Buildings are low and spread across a wide site, with a hotel block rising above the entrance. An entertainment centre with tiered seating holds the concert programme. Interior corridors link the hotel, the restaurants and the meeting rooms. Parking and grounds surround the complex, and the golf course lies on separate land.

The area

The surrounding country is rural, with lakes, farmland and small settlements. Orillia is the nearest town, and Lake Couchiching lies a short distance away. Roads from the south come in through open country rather than through built-up streets, past water and woodland.

Practical notes

The resort is reached by road, so plan driving or shuttle arrangements in advance. Concert dates shape how full the site is. Age limits apply to parts of the complex; confirm current rules, hours and shuttle services with the operator before you travel.
