What Parq Casino has
Parq Casino is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Its poker room on Level 3 keeps the same 24/7 hours. All hours are local Pacific time, and holiday hours are not given here, so check them on the casino's own site.
Two hotels share the site next to BC Place: JW Marriott and The Douglas. Stadium-Chinatown Station is 506 m away in a straight line from the building.
Parking is pay-by-plate self-parking, open 24 hours. On non-event days it costs $5 an hour before 5 PM, with a $20 daily maximum from 5 AM to 5 PM. From 5 PM to midnight it is $20 flat Sunday to Thursday and $25 on Friday and Saturday. Midnight to 5 AM costs $15, and 24 hours costs $55. Encore Rewards members with at least 15 points earned park free.

When Parq does not fit
Two needs fall outside Parq Casino's published facts. Nothing is published about a racebook, and parking is paid, not free.
For a racebook, the plan B is Hastings Casino, 5.6 km in a straight line, then River Rock Casino Resort, 8.9 km in a straight line. The last live race at Hastings was run on October 19, 2025, and its racebook shows simulcast races. For free parking, the plan B is Grand Villa Casino Burnaby, 8.0 km in a straight line, then Starlight Casino New Westminster, 15.1 km in a straight line.
The plan B card on this page works the same way for every need, from round-the-clock hours to a SkyTrain station within 1 km. A casino whose facts do not mention a need is never offered for it. Distances are straight lines between map coordinates, not driving or walking routes.
