Visitor's request card · Richmond, British Columbia
Your Richmond Casino Online Desk
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.
Our reply
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Poker night with friends
Our records don't confirm a poker room at River Rock, or its hours. Call 604-273-1895 before you round up the group. 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) and Cascades Casino Delta (16).
-
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.
-
After a concert
When the encore ends late, it helps to know which doors stay open. Five venues on this page run 24 hours: River Rock, Parq Casino, Starlight Casino New Westminster, Grand Villa Casino Burnaby and Great Canadian Casino Vancouver. Cascades Casino Delta closes 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.

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: open 24 hours every day. Cascades Casino Delta: 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 and Great Canadian Casino Vancouver are also open 24/7. Hastings Casino and Elements Casino Surrey don't publish hours in our records.
