Hard Rock Casino Vancouver 1j5i2b

The Hard Rock Casino is a combination of a music venue and a casino located in Coquitlam, a suburb of Vancouver. The casino opened in 2013 to replace the Boulevard Casino that was previously on the same site. As with other Hard Rock venues it features memorabilia from pop and rock stars, including legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Tina Turner, Madonna and the King – that’s Elis by the way - himself. By public transport the 97 B-Line Bus connects up with the Vancouver Skytrain at Lougheed Town Centre, whilst drivers can come by either the Trans Canada Highway, Lougheed Highway, Barnett Highway or North Road. Free parking is available at the casino. 6fq2b

The casino is a medium to large-sized casino by Canadian standards and the gaming floor houses almost 950 slot machines from penny machines all the way up to the high limit slots. Slots tournaments are occasionally run with thousands of dollars given away in prize money. There are also 46 gaming tables playing a wide variety of games including blackjack, pai gow, baccarat, roulette and poker and you can play all of these games in the Party Pit with live entertainment, the Party Pit also being available for private hire.

The dedicated poker room is open 24 hours a day and will play pretty much any ruleset from three card to Texas hold ‘em. The casino has a back-to-back tournament and cash game schedule which you can enquire about on 604-523-5359 for daily updates and to reserve your spot. They also run a Super Beat Jackpot, which regularly runs into six figures to console those suffering bad beats at the table.

Hard Rock Casino contains a wide range of eateries from the Fu Express which serves noodles and other Asian cuisine to Stake, a traditional steakhouse with all the trimmings. For a quick snack there’s also Chip’s Sandwich Shop and Fuel Café where you can pick up hot and cold snacks and beverages. Finally there’s the famous Roadies’ Burger Bar which endeavours to treat all its customers like rock stars with made to order burgers.

Asylum often has DJs and live music acts as well as streaming UFC fights and other live sport. Unlisted cocktail and tapas bar, described as Hard Rock’s worst kept secret also has a sound stage where you can dance to what is described as a mixture of electro groove music. The atmosphere in most of the venues at the casino is lively and it is a good option even for non-gamblers in this respect.

Although there’s nowhere to stay on site there are plenty of good accommodation options in the area including The Best Western Chelsea Inn, in Coquitam itself, but obviously with Vancouver just 30 minutes away there is a huge range of hotels within easy range of the casino.
