The casino in a few lines
Parq is the downtown casino. Its address is 39 Smithe Street in Vancouver, and the casino floor stays open 24/7.
Measured in a straight line, Coquitlam City Centre is 23.3 km away. From the United Boulevard casino it is 20.8 km. Real routes are longer. TransLink's trip planner or a map will give you the route.
Parq is 800 metres from Yaletown-Roundhouse Station on the Canada Line and 850 metres from Stadium-Chinatown Station on the Expo Line.
Getting in
Same rules as every casino in the province. The minimum age is 19. At the door, guests of all ages show government-issued photo ID. Parq says this on its own FAQ page too.
After scanning the ID, security checks it against everyone who is not allowed in, Game Break enrollees included. BCLC says no personal information is saved for people who are let in.
Bring the original card. Photos or copies are not accepted. A driver's licence, BC Services Card, BCID or passport all work.
Parq says there is no specific dress code.
On the floor
The venue lists slots, baccarat, poker, blackjack, roulette and electronic touch machines, plus Stadium Gaming. It does not publish machine or table counts.
The poker room is on Level 3, at the top of the escalators, and it is open 24/7. Parq calls it BC's biggest poker room. It does not say how many tables it has.
Encore Rewards works here. To join, go to Guest Services on Level 2.
Food, drink and the rest
Parq is a resort with two hotels on the property: the JW Marriott and The Douglas.
For food and drinks, there is KOI Noodle Bar, D/6 Lounge, The Victor and Honey Salt, plus several other spots. Hours and menus are on the venue's own site.
Compared with United Boulevard
A few differences stand out for a Coquitlam visitor.
- Parking. BCLC's casino listing describes parking at United Boulevard as free. At Parq it is paid, pay-by-plate, and on-site self-parking runs 24 hours. Encore Rewards members park free when they use their card at tables or slots and earn at least 15 points.
- Poker hours: United Boulevard's poker room is open 10 AM to 4 AM Monday to Thursday and 24 hours Friday to Sunday. Parq's poker room is open 24/7.
- Hotels. Parq has two on site, which suits a night downtown.
- Loyalty. Both use Encore Rewards.
