What Is The Best Canada Road Trip For Casino Enthusiasts?

So, you want to model your Canada road trip around some iconic casinos? We wouldn't blame you. From Niagara Falls on the east to the great Pacific Ocean out west, there are plenty of casinos to fill your trip.

But how long would it take to drive across Canada?

Our cross Canada road trip takes 47 hours. But it can vary, depending on the route.

Here is your Canada road trip planner.

Location: Vancouver, British Columbia

Size: 72,000 square feet

Highlights: A 30,000-square-foot outdoor park high above the skyline, two distinctive hotels, and Vancouver's largest hotel ballroom.

There's no better base in Vancouver than the Parq Casino Resort. Outlandish in its design and futuristic approach to luxury, the creme de la creme of the Parq is its incredible green space, which boasts more than 200 native pines and 15,000 local floras in keeping with its eco-driven culture.

Designed by landscape artist Christopher Phillips, its water feature and walking paths create a secret garden above the skyline to whisk urban explorers away to a magical and mystical world.

When you're not in the casino, enjoy the spectacular sites around Vancouver, a city that benefits from an exciting cultural scape.

While the road trip takes some time (10 hours goes quickly with a podcast on the go), you can stop by some incredible sites on the way, including the unfathomably beautiful Lake Louise. With crystal clear, glacial, turquoise waters, it represents one of the most stunning spots in the entire country. It flits from a ski resort in the winter to a summer boating haven in the summer. Depending on the time of year you visit, you can incorporate either into your plan.
