#4 of 10 · Largest First Nations casino resort · Rama (near Orillia), Ontario
Casino Rama Resort
Canada's largest First Nations casino and Ontario's only commercial casino on reserve land, Casino Rama opened in 1996 on Lake Couchiching and has been the big-ticket concert stop between Toronto and cottage country ever since. The 5,000-seat Entertainment Centre books the same tours as the city arenas, and the 289-room hotel means you do not drive home after. Gateway announced a refurbishment in 2024 with new dining and an expanded spa.
