River Rock Casino Resort

River Rock sits on the Fraser River in Richmond with its own marina and a long waterfront frontage. The location is unusually convenient: Vancouver International is minutes away and the Canada Line reaches central Vancouver in about twenty minutes.

The hotel side is full-service — two accommodation buildings, a spa, several restaurants and a show theatre used for concerts and comedy. A gaming floor forms part of the complex without dominating how the property presents itself.

Richmond justifies the stay on its own. The night market runs through summer, Steveston fishing village is a short drive south, and the city holds one of the strongest concentrations of Chinese regional cooking in North America.
