01What is open late
Parq Casino never shuts, staying open day and night on all seven days. Up on Level 3, where the escalators end, the poker room is also open 24/7. One wrinkle: the table games page notes "Open daily from 7PM" in its roulette and touch bet terminal section, without saying which games it covers. Holiday hours are not published.
The on-site parkade is open 24 hours and is paid at all times. On non-event days, Parq's parking page lists a $15 flat rate from midnight to 5 AM, and says rates may change with demand.
Hastings Casino opens at 11AM every day. The doors shut at 2AM on Friday and Saturday, and at midnight on the other nights, Sunday to Thursday. It is not open 24 hours, so it is not an all-night option.
Holiday hours are not published, and neither are hours for the lounge and food outlets. For anything unusual, call 604-254-1631 or check Hastings Casino's own page. Live racing ended in December 2025, so there are no race days to plan around.
02When SkyTrain stops
We could not confirm last-train times from Stadium-Chinatown or Yaletown-Roundhouse, so check TransLink on the night.
Yaletown-Roundhouse Station (Canada Line) is 800 m from Parq, and Stadium-Chinatown Station (Expo Line) is 850 m away. Hastings Park has no SkyTrain station within walking distance. Walking routes and daytime connections are on By SkyTrain and bus.
03TransLink NightBus
NightBus is TransLink's late-night service. Buses leave every 20 to 30 minutes, seven nights a week. From about 1:30 a.m., all NightBus routes leave from either Howe & Dunsmuir or Seymour & Granville. The NightBus District at West Georgia & Granville is a central, well-lit place to wait. It is also the driest idea available at that hour, which in Vancouver counts for something.
| Route | Runs between |
|---|---|
| N8 | Downtown / Fraser |
| N9 | Downtown / Coquitlam Central Station |
| N10 | Downtown / Richmond |

| N24 | Downtown / Lynn Valley |
| N35 | Downtown / SFU, along Hastings St |
Times and stops are on TransLink's NightBus page. We have not reproduced the schedules here because they change.
04From Parq and from Hastings Park
From Parq: the N15 NightBus has a stop at Smithe St and Expo Blvd, roughly 120 m away as the crow flies. Other NightBus routes leave from the downtown area around Howe, Seymour and Granville, so check a trip planner before you leave.
From Hastings Park: the N35 runs along Hastings St. Third-party schedule data shows it stopping at E Hastings St @ Renfrew St in the early hours. TransLink's own stop list for that stop was not confirmed, so check translink.ca.
06Set a time limit as well as a money limit
Late sessions have a way of blurring. Decide on a leaving time when you arrive, the same way you decide on a budget, and let the last NightBus or a booked ride hold you to it. Every BC casino has a GameSense Info Centre with staff who can help.
If the hours are getting away from you, Gambling Support BC is free and runs 24/7 at 1-888-795-6111. More options are on Support and at gamblingsupportbc.ca. Entry to BC casinos is 19+.
