The casino at a glance
You will find Great Canadian Casino Vancouver at 2080 United Boulevard, Coquitlam, BC V3K 6W3. The main phone line is 1-604-523-6888, and the official site is gcvancouver.com.
The casino floor at this BCLC casino is open 24/7. Tables operate 10 AM to 4 AM from Monday to Thursday. Play then goes nonstop from Friday at 10 AM until Monday at 4 AM. Holiday hours are not published. For a late-night trip or a holiday visit, checking the venue's website beforehand is a smart step.
The ownership is new this year. Effective May 5, 2026, the casino is owned by Petroglyph Development Group, a wholly owned corporation of Snuneymuxw First Nation. It is operated by Petroglyph's wholly owned entities. The sale was first announced in December 2025. The casino sits on Kwikwetlem First Nation territory.
The Great Canadian name and logos are used under a limited licence. The casino is no longer owned or operated by, or affiliated with, Great Canadian Entertainment. The venue's own website now carries Lahal branding.
Older signs and maps may show an earlier name. The casino was Hard Rock Casino Vancouver until December 1, 2023.
Getting in
The casino is for adults only. At every BCLC facility in British Columbia, gamblers have to be at least 19.
Since June 26, 2023, BCLC has required government-issued photo ID from every guest entering a BC gaming facility, whatever their age. Bring the original document. Photos and copies are not accepted. Security scans each ID, then runs it past the list of people barred from gambling facilities, with Game Break enrollees among them. BCLC says it stores no personal information for people who are allowed in.
The accepted documents include:
- BC or North American driver's licence
- BC Identity Card (BCID) or BC Services Card
- Canadian or international passport
- Canadian citizenship card or permanent resident card
- Secure Certificate of Indian Status card
- Membership cards issued by First Nations, Métis or Inuit bands
- Government-issued foreign ID
The full list is on BCLC's casino FAQ. The venue does not publish a dress code. New to all this? Our first visit page walks through the door routine.
