Located in Downtown Vancouver, on the North Shore of False Creek, Edgewater is a shimmering palace of glass and steel that promises plenty of action and entertainment. And, 24 hours a day, it delivers. Unlike the casinos that have gone for the look of old wood and a by-gone era, Edgewater is set firmly in the future.
The gaming floor at Edgewater is over 30,000 sq. ft., with over 500 slot machines, table games including Blackjack, Roulette, Craps, and Mini and Mid-Baccarrat. If you enjoy high-stakes gaming, Edgewater has a high limit room that features Mini Baccarat, Blackjack and Pai Gow. Edgewater participates in the BC Gold program, which provides discounts, special offers, and cash-back programs for frequent players.
If poker's your game, the poker room has tables from $2/$4 stakes to $20/$40, and features both limit and no-limit play. There are daily poker tournaments, and Edgewater serves as one of the satellite venues for Vancouver's Downtown Showdown, held in September, which boasts a $250,000 purse.
Although Edgewater has no hotel facilities itself, there are 8 nearby hotels that the Edgewater recommends. They range from solid, family-friendly favorites, such as Holiday Inn, to stylish boutique hotels, such as Opus Hotel Vancouver, to high-end luxury extravaganzas, such as the Westin Grand. Visitors are sure to find something that meets their tastes and budget.
With a full liquor license, Edgewater can offer extensive bar and lounge services. You can order drinks on the gaming floor, or retire to the Vue Bar and Lounge, with its signature drinks and television sports coverage. For a quick bite, try the Splash Bistro, which not only offers daily international fare, but also runs specials for Seniors and an Early Bird Special. You can also have food delivered from the Bistro to the gaming floor.
When you're ready to take a break from gaming, events at BC Place (home of the BC Lions) and General Motors Place (home of the Canucks) offer excellent entertainment in addition to sporting events. Edgewater prides itself in booking not only major concerts and comedians, but also community festivals and charity events. There's always something different going on. Nearby, you can sample the tastes, sights and sounds of Vancouver Chinatown, or spend an educational interlude at Science World.
Edgewater is located at 750 Pacific Blvd. South, Vancouver, BC, V6B 5E7. The casino offers free shuttle service every twenty minutes between the casino, Stadium SkyTrain Station and Chinatown.
