Metro casino, Surrey

Elements Casino Surrey from downtown

Elements Casino Surrey sits 34.1 km from downtown Vancouver in a straight line. It is a mid-sized floor with long hours, and the racetrack beside it is gone. Here is what the venue publishes, and what it does not.

01Where it is and what has changed

The address is 17755 60 Ave, Surrey, BC V3S 1V3. In a straight line, that puts it 34.1 km from downtown Vancouver. It opened in November 2005. The phone number is 604-576-9141.

Two things have changed. The City of Surrey called time on the track lease, and live harness racing next door at Fraser Downs finished on August 15, 2025. The track has since been demolished.

SE-MI-AH-MU Development Corporation, which belongs to the Semiahmoo First Nation, agreed on March 9, 2026 to buy it.

02Hours

Unlike Parq downtown, Elements does not run around the clock every day.

AreaDaysHours
CasinoMonday to Thursday10AM to 4AM
CasinoFriday to Sunday24 hours
Live tablesSunday to Thursday10AM to 1AM
Live tablesFriday and Saturday10AM to 3AM

Slots keep running long after the live tables shut, so blackjack at 2AM is possible only on Fridays and Saturdays. Holiday hours are not published. Check Great Canadian's Elements page before the trip.

03The floor

The venue lists over 500 slots and electronic tables. Live table games number 10, covering blackjack, baccarat, roulette, Ultimate Texas Hold'em and Four Card Poker.

The Action Arena has electronic roulette, baccarat and Ultimate Texas Hold'em. There is no poker room. For poker, look at the other venues on the Metro casinos page.

The loyalty program is Encore Rewards, the same BCLC program used across the province.

04Food and evenings

The buffet restaurant goes all-you-can-eat on weekends. Foodies is on site too. Elements Bar keeps to Friday and Saturday nights. The casino runs comedy and live music weekly. Its event spaces are called The Dragon Lounge and The Homestretch.

Menus, prices and show line-ups are published by the venue, not here.

05Getting there from downtown

Parking at Elements is free, and no transit route to the casino is published. Rather than guess at a station or a bus, use the trip planner on translink.ca with the street address. Allow for the distance. Thirty-odd kilometres in the rain feels longer than it reads.

Getting back late is the harder half. The casino stays open well past the point where getting home is simple. See Late night for how NightBus works before you count on it.

06Entry and ID

Entry is for guests aged 19 or older. Since June 26, 2023, the rule at every BC casino applies here too: each guest presents government-issued photo ID at the entrance. Only original physical documents count, not photos or copies. Staff scan the ID against the Game Break and restricted lists, and it is not kept.

Buy-ins or payouts reaching $3,000 or more in a single day mean identity verification under provincial rules.

07If it stops being fun

Every BC casino has a GameSense Info Centre with advisors on site. Game Break, BCLC's self-exclusion program, runs for 6 months to 3 years. Gambling Support BC is free, and its line at 1-888-795-6111 picks up 24/7.

Questions

Is Elements Casino Surrey open 24 hours?

Only from Friday to Sunday. Monday to Thursday it is open 10AM to 4AM, and the live tables keep shorter hours.

Can you still watch horse racing at Elements?

The Fraser Downs track next door has since been torn down; its last live harness races ran on August 15, 2025. Whether simulcast racing still runs at Elements is best confirmed with the casino.
