These are hotels first. Each one offers rooms, restaurants, meeting space and — as one facility among several — a gaming floor. The notes below describe the property the way a guest would encounter it: where it sits, what the building is like, and what else is on site besides the tables.
Montreal, Canada
Montreal Casino & Hotel
The complex sits on Île Notre-Dame in the Saint Lawrence, on the site of Expo 67 — the main building was the French pavilion, and its stacked, angular form still reads as sixties world's-fair architecture from across the water. The island setting means the property is a short drive from downtown but feels separated from it, surrounded by parkland, the rowing basin and the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Guests get rooms, several restaurants across the levels including a long-running fine dining room, a cabaret theatre used for concerts, and a gaming floor spread over multiple storeys. The view is a genuine feature: upper floors look back at the Montreal skyline across the river.
- Former Expo 67 French pavilion
- Île Notre-Dame, parkland setting
- Cabaret theatre and several restaurants
- Skyline views across the river
Niagara Falls, Canada
Fallsview Casino Resort
Fallsview is built into the escarpment above the Horseshoe Falls, and the whole property is oriented toward that. Public rooms and a good share of the guest rooms face the water directly, high enough to see the full curve of the falls and the mist above it.
Beyond the rooms there is a theatre that books touring acts, a spa, a set of restaurants ranging from a buffet to a steakhouse, and a retail arcade connecting through to the surrounding tourist district. The gaming floor occupies the lower levels. Because the falls are lit after dark and the crowds outside thin out, the property tends to feel busiest in the evening.
- Escarpment site above Horseshoe Falls
- Falls-facing rooms and public areas
- Theatre for touring performances
- Spa, restaurants and retail arcade
Richmond, Canada
River Rock Casino Resort
River Rock sits on the Fraser River in Richmond, with its own marina and a location that is genuinely convenient — minutes from Vancouver International Airport, on the Canada Line into central Vancouver. That makes it a practical base as much as a destination.
The hotel side runs two wings, one of them the higher-specification Tower. There is a large show theatre, a buffet and several restaurants, and a covered walkway to the SkyTrain platform. Rooms on the river side look out over moored boats and the flat delta landscape beyond, which is a quieter outlook than the address suggests.
- On the Fraser River with a marina
- Minutes from Vancouver airport
- Canada Line station adjacent
- Show theatre and two room wings
Rama, Canada
Casino Rama Resort
Casino Rama is on the Chippewas of Rama First Nation's land near Orillia, in Ontario's lake country about an hour and a half north of Toronto. The property is owned by the First Nation, and that presence is visible throughout the building — in the artwork, the naming and the design motifs rather than as an afterthought.
It is a resort in the full sense: a hotel tower, a spa, a golf course nearby, a set of restaurants and an entertainment centre that seats several thousand and has hosted large touring acts for decades. The setting is rural, close to Lake Couchiching, and the drive in is through cottage country.
- Owned by Chippewas of Rama First Nation
- Ontario lake country, near Orillia
- Entertainment centre seating thousands
- Spa, restaurants and golf nearby
