The Starlight Casino is a return to the casino style of the past. The glowing sign of the Starlight Casino evokes the feel of old Las Vegas; inside, the retro-futuristic decor brings to mind the best of the 60s and 70s with a modern twist. Located in the Queensborough area of New Westminster (part of the Metro Vancouver area), the Starlight offers a unique yet familiar gaming environment.
Starlight has a gaming floor that measures over 70,000. The 45 gaming tables offer all the usual favorites, including Blackjack, Craps, Pai Gow, and Roulette. The 850 slot machines range from 1 cent to 1 dollar. As a member of the popular BC Gold program, guests can earn points for play that carry over to other BC Gold casinos, as well as qualifying for special contests, exclusive events, and other promotions. High-stakes gamers have access to the VIP room, which offers personal service and exclusive access to a private bar and patio.
For poker players, Starlight offers a small but active poker room, with 9 tables that range from 2/4 Limit and 1/2 No-Limit to 20/40 Limit and 5/10 No-Limit. They have daily multi-table tournaments, and they host satellite events for the Pacific Poker Shootout, now in its third year.
There are a variety of dining and options at Starlight. For simple, quick fare, the Salt & Pepper Cafe is a good choice for a snack or a fast meal. Sports grill lovers can try the steakhouse menu of Schanks, and enjoy its 120 televisions, arcade, and even miniature golf. There are two Asian-inspired restaurants at Starlight, too; Shang is a twist on the traditional noodle house, while Kirin offers an upscale dining experience, specializing in Cantonese and Northern Chinese cuisine. Private rooms can be booked at Kirin.
Live musical performances are offered on the weekends and some weekdays on the lounge stage of Redbar & Lounge, located in the center of the casino. There is no additional charge for the entertainment; between acts and on other nights, you'll be mesmerized by the 200 ft. video wall.
Starlight is located at 350 Gifford Street, New Westminster, BC V3M 7A3, just off Hwy 91. The closest airport is Vancouver International. Starlight is a part of the Gateway Casinos family of casinos.
