River Rock Casino Resort
The only casino hotel in Canada with a rapid-transit station across the street: Bridgeport Canada Line is twenty minutes from downtown Vancouver and one transfer from YVR, which changes what a casino hotel can be used for. The dining line-up, led by Gordon Ramsay Steak and Miku, is the strongest in the country, and the pool has a water slide. Ownership changed in June 2026 to a partnership of two First Nations development companies.

Book it if
Vancouver visitors without a car, food-first travellers, families (the pool slide earns its keep).
Think twice if
Richmond is not Vancouver; the resort is next to the river and the airport, not the city.
The best-connected casino hotel in Canada and the best-fed; only the setting keeps it off the top spot.
