Casino Hotels

Montréal Casino & Hotel stands on Île Notre-Dame in pavilions built for the world exposition of 1967. The former French and Québec pavilions were converted for their present use. The island sits in the Saint Lawrence beside the city. Restaurants and a hall for live programmes are part of the complex. A hotel building stands on the same grounds.

The pavilion structures keep their exposition-era outlines, with sloped walls and long window bands. Public parts include restaurants, bars, a theatre space and passages between the joined buildings. Parkland on the island surrounds the complex, and the river runs on both sides of it. Guest rooms occupy a separate building linked to the pavilions.

Ask which restaurants and public rooms are open on your dates, as programmes vary. Confirm how the island is reached, since access is by bridge and metro. Age rules apply to parts of the site and are set by the operator.

Fallsview Casino Resort is cut into the escarpment above the Niagara gorge in Ontario. Its public floors step down the slope, so entrances stand at different levels. A hotel, restaurants and a theatre occupy the building. Shops and galleried walkways connect the parts of the complex. Parking decks stand behind the buildings on the upper level. The falls lie below the ridge nearby.

The building follows the hillside, and glazed galleries face the gorge from the upper floors. A concert theatre, a spa, shops and several restaurants occupy the public levels. Guest rooms sit in a tower above them, and covered walkways link the resort to the street. Public passages run between the levels inside.

Ask about theatre programmes and restaurant hours, which change through the year. Confirm which entrance suits your arrival, since the levels differ. Parking and entrance arrangements are published by the resort. Age rules apply to parts of the complex and are set by the operator.

River Rock Casino Resort stands beside the middle arm of the Fraser River in Richmond, British Columbia. A hotel, restaurants and a large show theatre are gathered in one complex. A marina and a walkway run along the water. Parking structures and a transit link serve the site. The airport lies a short distance away.

The buildings face the river, and a boardwalk follows the bank past the marina. Public parts include a theatre used for concerts, a spa, a food hall and restaurants. Guest rooms occupy a tower and a lower wing, with meeting space on the ground floors. The complex is built low along the shoreline.

Ask which theatre events fall in your dates, and whether restaurants keep seasonal hours. Confirm airport transfer arrangements when writing, since the airport lies close by. The riverside walkway is public. Age rules apply to parts of the complex and are set by the operator.

Casino Rama Resort stands on the lands of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation in Ontario. The complex lies near Orillia, in open country north of the city. A hotel, restaurants and a concert hall are part of the site. Lake Couchiching lies nearby. The resort has operated on this ground for many years, and the hotel stands on the same grounds.

Buildings are spread low across the site, with the hotel tower rising above the public floors. A large entertainment hall is used for touring concerts, and a spa and restaurants adjoin it. Meeting rooms and event space occupy the ground level. Grounds and parking spread around the buildings on open land.

Ask about concert dates and hotel availability together, since events fill rooms. Confirm travel arrangements, as the resort lies outside the town. Coach services reach the site from nearby towns. Age rules apply to parts of the complex and are set by the operator.
