The Montreal property sits on Île Notre-Dame, in buildings that began life as the French and Quebec pavilions of Expo 67. That inheritance shapes everything: sharp angles, deep atria, and long views back across the water to the city.

Accommodation and dining occupy the core of the complex, with restaurants ranging from casual service to a fine-dining room. A cabaret theatre runs a regular programme.

The gaming floor is one part of the property among several, spread across multiple levels. Guests who come for the park setting, the river, or the Formula 1 circuit next door use the hotel exactly as they would any other.

Fallsview is built into the escarpment above Niagara, and its position is the point. Guest rooms on the upper floors look directly onto Horseshoe Falls, which few hotels anywhere can claim.

The resort runs as a full property: a hotel tower, a spa, a retail concourse, a spread of restaurants, and a theatre that books touring acts through the year.

Its gaming floor occupies a large hall in the lower levels. Visitors often arrive for the falls, the winter light show, or a concert, and the hotel functions as the practical base for all of it.

River Rock sits on the Fraser River in Richmond, minutes from Vancouver's airport and on the Canada Line into the city. That access makes it a common first or last night for travellers moving through British Columbia.

The resort includes a hotel, a marina, a theatre, and a set of restaurants weighted toward the Cantonese and Japanese cooking Richmond is known for.

There is a gaming floor, and it is sizeable, but the property's day-to-day traffic comes as much from concert audiences and transiting guests. Rooms face either the river or the mountains north of the city.

Casino Rama stands on the land of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, north of Orillia and close to Lake Couchiching. It opened in 1996 and has operated as a resort rather than a standalone venue since.

The hotel carries several hundred rooms, a spa, and a spread of dining rooms. Its entertainment centre is the largest part of the draw for many visitors, hosting touring musicians and comedians at a scale unusual for the region.

The gaming floor is one feature of the property. Guests also use Rama as a base for the surrounding lake district, which is busy through summer and quiet enough in shoulder season to be worth the drive.
