2 reviewed casino hotels
River Rock Casino Resort
Leave the car at home: from River Rock the Canada Line reaches YVR in about seven minutes and downtown Vancouver in about eighteen, the best transit link of any casino hotel in the country. Inside are 396 rooms with some very large suites, the first Gordon Ramsay Steak in Canada and a water-slide pool, and outside there's a marina on the river.
Cascades Casino Resort
A 24-hour Gateway casino in Langley City with a 77-room Coast hotel beside it: good steak at ATLAS and free parking, but no pool and no showroom.
