Montreal Casino & Hotel
The architecture came first. France's pavilion from Expo 67, joined to the neighbouring Québec pavilion, now forms the casino complex on Île Notre-Dame, an island in the St. Lawrence River.
Restaurants, bars and a stage for live shows share the building with the gaming floor. Parc Jean-Drapeau surrounds the site, with its gardens, the Formula One circuit and a summer beach. Downtown Montreal sits just across the water, reachable by metro and a short connecting bus.

Fallsview Casino Resort
Height is the headline. Fallsview's hotel tower stands on the ridge above the Horseshoe Falls, and many of its rooms look straight out over the water.
Below the rooms, the resort holds a spa, a theatre for touring performers and a long list of restaurants. The gaming floor is one part of a very large building. Clifton Hill and the riverside paths are downhill, and the falls are lit after dark through much of the year.

River Rock Casino Resort
Richmond borders Vancouver International Airport. River Rock sits on the Fraser River, where hotel rooms and suites share the site with a marina right on the water.
A show theatre, several restaurants and a pool round out the property. The Canada Line stops next door, making downtown Vancouver a direct train ride. For a first or last night near the airport, the location is hard to beat.

Casino Rama Resort
North of Orillia, on the lands of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, a hotel tower rises beside a large entertainment centre. Lake Couchiching lies just to the west.
Concerts and comedy fill the entertainment centre throughout the year. Restaurants and a spa sit under the same roof. Ontario's cottage country starts all around the resort, so a summer stay can easily pair an evening show with days on the lakes.
