Parq Casino in Vancouver

Where it is

Parq Casino sits inside the resort branded Parq Vancouver, at 39 Smithe Street, Vancouver. It is a casino, not a community gaming centre. General enquiries go to 604-683-7277.

Each distance quoted here runs point to point between map coordinates, not along roads. Parq is 97 km from Victoria and 273 km from Kelowna. For a reader heading on to the Island or up the coast, the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal is 15.7 km away in a straight line. Tsawwassen is 29.8 km.

Hours and the floor

The casino never closes: it operates around the clock all week, on local Pacific time. The Level 3 poker room follows that same schedule, although Parq gives no figure for the number of poker tables.

The floor offers blackjack, baccarat, roulette, poker and slots, along with electronic touch machines and Stadium Gaming. Since Parq releases no counts for its slots or tables, none appear in this guide.

This guide does not publish holiday hours. Confirm them with the venue's own site ahead of any trip.

Before you go

Nobody under 19 is admitted. Whatever their age, all guests show government-issued photo ID on arrival, where it is checked against the self-exclusion list. Parq sets no specific dress code.

Guests stay at one of two hotels on the property: The Douglas or the JW Marriott. Places to eat and drink include KOI Noodle Bar, Honey Salt, D/6 Lounge and The Victor. Parking on the property is self-serve, available 24 hours, and charged by licence plate. On days with no event, the rate is $5 an hour until 5 PM, or $55 for 24 hours. Two SkyTrain stations sit nearby: Yaletown-Roundhouse, on the Canada Line, at 800 m, and Stadium-Chinatown, on the Expo Line, at 850 m.
