No. 1An overview of the venue
Grand Villa Casino occupies two levels in Burnaby and is operated by Gateway Casinos & Entertainment, which describes the casino as its flagship. It is located at 4331 Dominion St. The casino's main telephone number is 604-436-2211.
Measured in a straight line, the casino sits about 11.1 km from River Rock Casino Resort and 13.6 km from Richmond city centre. The actual journey by road or transit covers a longer distance.
No. 2Hours and admission
The venue says it trades 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, on all 365 days of the year.
In British Columbia, gambling is limited to adults aged 19 and over. Since June 26, 2023, every visitor to a B.C. casino has been required to present original photo ID issued by a government, regardless of age. Security staff scan the document and compare it with the list of people who are barred from entry, which includes anyone enrolled in Game Break. BCLC states that it keeps no personal information about people who are admitted. Accepted documents include a driver's licence, BC Services Card or passport. You may wish to bring a second piece of ID in case you are asked for proof of age.
No. 3What the gaming floor offers
The casino's published figures are set out below.
| Feature | Published detail |
|---|---|
| Slot machines | Over 1,300 |
| Gaming tables | 67 |
| Electronic gaming arena | Pulse |
| VIP gaming | Available |
| Poker | 24 hours daily |
Judged by published counts, no venue on the desk's list offers more slots. Because the venue's own pages disagree on how many poker tables there are, the desk does not give a figure. Guests who would like to reserve a seat may contact the poker room directly.
Grand Villa participates in Encore Rewards. Joining costs nothing, and guests may enrol by bringing valid ID to the Guest Services desk.
No. 4Dining, hotel and accessibility
Gateway lists several places to eat and drink, including the following:
- Personas Patio + Restaurant + Lounge
- ATLAS steak + fish
Opening hours for each outlet are published by the venue.
A Marriott hotel, Delta Hotels Burnaby Conference Centre, forms part of the property, and reservations are made through Marriott.
The venue says customers with disabilities can use the facility, and that communication supports, accessible formats and wheelchairs can be provided on request.
No. 5How it compares with River Rock
Each venue has a hotel on site, and each participates in Encore Rewards. Where they differ is chiefly in size, hours and ease of access.

| Live tables | 67 | More than 80, as given by the former operator in June 2026 |

Details of the desk's home venue appear on the River Rock Casino Resort page. If you would like to compare all nine casinos, the desk maintains a register of other casinos nearby.
No. 6Planning your visit
The desk does not hold transit routes or road directions for this venue, so you may wish to plan your trip from Richmond or YVR with TransLink ahead of time. For those driving, the venue says parking is complimentary, in a parkade with direct access to the entrance and in several outdoor lots.
