Start with the occasion, or skip it. Answer three questions and we'll write back: where to go, whether the doors are open at that hour, and how far it is. We're a guide, not a casino.

A rough point is enough. We measure in a straight line, not by road, and use Richmond time.

No. 01 · By occasion

Start from the reason you're going out

Most people don't go to a casino for the casino. It's someone's birthday, or the show let out late and nobody wants to go home yet. Pick the reason on the request card above and the three questions fill themselves in. Here is what we know for each.

  1. Date night

    River Rock is open 24 hours, so there's no closing time on the gaming floor to plan dinner around. If you'd like a show as part of the evening, look at the venue's own events page. We don't list shows we can't confirm.

  2. A birthday

    The legal age in British Columbia is 19, not 18, and everyone in the group has to meet it. Bring government photo ID and expect to be asked for it. Flying in for the party? The venue says it's five minutes from YVR.

  3. Poker night with friends

    River Rock lists 10 poker tables, open from 10 am to 4 am Monday to Thursday and from Friday 10 am straight through to Monday 4 am. The poker line is 604-247-8983. If table games in general will do, these nearby venues publish table counts: Grand Villa Casino Burnaby (67), Starlight Casino New Westminster (54), Great Canadian Casino Vancouver (37), Cascades Casino Langley (28) and Cascades Casino Delta (18).

  4. A daytime outing

    Nobody has to drive. The venue says River Rock is 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver on the Canada Line SkyTrain. It's open around the clock, so a weekday lunchtime visit works as well as an evening. Coming in a tall vehicle or a camper? See parking below.

  5. After a concert

    When the encore ends late, it helps to know which doors stay open. Six venues on this page run 24 hours: River Rock, Parq Casino, Starlight Casino New Westminster, Grand Villa Casino Burnaby, Great Canadian Casino Vancouver and Cascades Casino Langley. Cascades Casino Delta and Hastings Casino close at midnight Sunday to Thursday, and at 2 am on Friday and Saturday.

No. 02 · The house in Richmond

River Rock Casino Resort

If you've landed at YVR with an evening to spare, this is the one within easy reach. The venue describes it as five minutes from the airport and twenty minutes from downtown Vancouver on the Canada Line SkyTrain. It sits on River Road, 3.3 km from Richmond's city centre in a straight line, and it never closes.

We list what's on record and say so when something isn't. If a detail matters to your plans, the venue's phone line has the last word. The desk's full notes are on the River Rock page.

Getting there, and what parking costs

Choose how you're arriving. We show only what the venues publish: where parking is free, where it's paid, and the price when one is stated. Where a venue says nothing, we say nothing either.

No. 04 · This week

What's on this week

We don't copy event listings. They change, and a stale date can cost you an evening. What we can vouch for is the opening hours, day by day, and where each venue keeps its own calendar.

River Rock is open 24 hours, every day. Cascades Casino Delta and Hastings Casino close at night, and both publish the same hours:

  1. River Rock: open 24 hours every day. Cascades Casino Delta and Hastings Casino: Sunday to Thursday 11 am to midnight; Friday and Saturday 11 am to 2 am.

Parq Casino, Starlight Casino New Westminster, Grand Villa Casino Burnaby, Great Canadian Casino Vancouver and Cascades Casino Langley are also open 24/7. Elements Casino Surrey lists Monday to Thursday 10 am to 4 am, and 24 hours Friday to Sunday.
