Coquitlam, despite the name

Great Canadian Casino Vancouver, Coquitlam

Despite the name, Great Canadian Casino Vancouver is in Coquitlam, 21.5 km from downtown Vancouver in a straight line. It has a large floor, a poker room that runs around the clock on weekends, and very little published about getting there.

01The name, and where it actually is

The address is 2080 United Boulevard in Coquitlam, BC V3K 6W3. That is 21.5 km in a straight line from downtown Vancouver, and further by any route a bus or car would take. Parq Casino downtown and Hastings Casino in East Vancouver are both inside the City of Vancouver.

Since May 5, 2026, the casino has belonged to, and been operated by, the Snuneymuxw First Nation's Petroglyph Development Group. A limited licence covers the Great Canadian name. The Great Canadian Casino Vancouver name arrived in December 2023. Until then, it went by Hard Rock Casino Vancouver.

The casino's phone number is 604-523-6888, and its own website is gcvancouver.com.

02Hours

The casino does not publish overall opening hours. It publishes hours for two parts of the floor:

  • Live tables: Monday to Thursday 10AM to 4AM. On weekends they run from Friday 10AM to Monday 4AM without a break.
  • Poker room: Monday to Thursday 10AM to 4AM. Friday to Sunday 24 hours.

For the slot floor, holidays or anything else not listed here, check the official site or call before making the trip.

03The floor

Over 920 slots and 37 live table games are listed, plus 42 interconnected electronic table machines running live-dealer roulette, craps, baccarat and Ultimate Texas Hold'em. There is also a Privé high-limit slots room and a separate Privé tables room.

04Poker room

The room has 10 tables. The posted lineup is 1/2 Pot-Limit Omaha, plus No-Limit Hold'em at 5/10, 2/5, 1/3/6 and 1/3. What actually runs on a given night is a question for the poker desk: 604-516-7175.

05Shows, music and food

The Show Theatre is on site. Published seat counts differ, so this guide gives none. The Asylum Sound Stage puts on free live music Fridays and Saturdays at 9PM. For food, there is Rock House Grill, Chopsticks Noodle House, Gordon Ramsay Burger and the Asylum pub. The casino uses Encore Rewards, the loyalty program it lists.

06Getting there

Parking is free, and there is no hotel on site. The Executive Plaza Hotel, a separate property, is a short drive away. The casino is near transit, though no route or stop is published. This guide won't guess at a station or a bus route. Use the TransLink trip planner at translink.ca with the street address, and check the return trip before you leave, particularly late at night.

07Entry and the rules at the door

Entry is 19+, and since June 26, 2023, BC casinos have required government-issued photo ID from every visitor, of any age. Security scans it and runs it against the list of everyone barred from gambling facilities, Game Break enrollees included. For people who are let in, BCLC stores no personal information.

Only original physical documents are accepted, not photos or copies. Accepted ID includes a driver's licence, BC Services Card, BC Identity Card or passport. Smoking and vaping are banned indoors in BC casinos.

Every BC casino has a GameSense Info Centre on or near the floor, with GameSense Advisors on site. When gambling stops being fun, Gambling Support BC is there 24/7 at no cost: 1-888-795-6111. More options are on the Support page.
