Vancouver, British Columbia · Independent local guide

Vancouver Casinos Online by SkyTrain

It rains more than it snows here, SkyTrain gets you most of the way, and one casino downtown is open around the clock. This guide covers the two casinos in the city of Vancouver: where to get off the train, where to park, and what is open right now.

What brings you out?

First time at a casino in Vancouver

Bring government photo ID: every visitor shows it at the door. The legal age in BC is 19.
Parq Casino is the easy start: downtown, listed as open 24 hours, with two SkyTrain stations within 850 m.
Decide what you'll spend before you leave home, and treat it as the price of the night out.
Hours and rules change. A quick call to the venue costs nothing.

Parq Casino, full guide Getting there Support line

After midnight

Parq Casino is listed as open 24/7. The live status on this page is worked out from Vancouver time, not yours.
Hastings Casino is not an all-night option: it closes at midnight Sunday to Thursday and at 2 am on Friday and Saturday.
SkyTrain doesn't run all night. Look up the last train in the trip planner, or plan a taxi home.

Everything sorted, with live status Trip planner

No car

Parq: Expo Line to Stadium–Chinatown, then 850 m on foot. Or Canada Line to Yaletown–Roundhouse, then 800 m.
Hastings Casino: we haven't verified the nearest stop yet. The trip planner will find it from your street.

Line diagram and route builder

Game day downtown

Parq Casino sits right beside BC Place stadium.
Check the calendar on bcplace.com first. If a game or concert is on, give yourself extra time and leave the car at home.
Stadium–Chinatown on the Expo Line is 850 m from Parq; Yaletown–Roundhouse on the Canada Line is 800 m.

Both routes to Parq More local notes

Just landed at YVR

The Canada Line runs from YVR–Airport into downtown with no change. Get off at Yaletown–Roundhouse; Parq is 800 m from there.
River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond says it is 5 minutes from the airport on the same line. It has its own page in this guide.
Pick “YVR Airport” in the nearest tool to see every casino on the list by straight-line distance from the terminal.

Nearest from where you are

Pick a part of town. We sort the nine Metro Vancouver casinos by distance from there. Each name opens its page in this guide.

Start from

Straight line, not by road. Driving or transit will be longer, sometimes a lot longer across the river. The start points are landmarks, not your address.

To scale, north up, rings at 5, 10 and 20 km. Numbers match the list. A distance chart, not a map.

By SkyTrain and bus

Two lines reach Parq from Waterfront. For the rest, the trip planner knows the live schedule better than any page can, so we hand you straight to it.

Expo Line

Waterfront
Burrard
Granville
Stadium–Chinatown

Parq Casino

Canada Line

The same line runs south to YVR–Airport. Walking distances are from Parq's own listing. Hastings Casino hasn't published a nearest stop; use the planner.

Like a local

What people who live here would tell a friend who's visiting. Short, practical, and only what we've checked.

Game nights

Parq is next door to BC Place. Check the stadium calendar first: if a game or a concert is on, give yourself extra time.

Parking at Parq

Self-parking is open 24 hours and is pay-by-plate: you pay by entering your licence plate number.

The last train

Parq is open 24 hours. SkyTrain is not. If you're staying late, look up the last train before you sit down.

One loyalty card

Every casino on this page lists Encore Rewards as its loyalty program.

Hastings closes at night

Hastings Casino opens at 11 am and closes at midnight, or 2 am on Friday and Saturday. Parking isn't published, so one call to 604-254-1631 saves a trip across town.

Only what we've checked

No forum folklore, no "systems", no guesses about how busy a place gets. If we can't confirm a tip, it isn't here.
