Grand Villa Casino Burnaby, First Visit
This page is for someone whose casino trips start in New Westminster and who is curious about Grand Villa in Burnaby. It covers where the room is, how it differs from Starlight, the door check and the trip home. Nothing here is advice on playing.
Where it is and what it holds
Grand Villa Casino Burnaby is at 4331 Dominion St, Burnaby, BC V5G 1C7. Gateway Casinos & Entertainment runs it, and the phone number is 604-436-2211. From central New Westminster it sits 9 km away in a straight line. That is a line between two map points, not a road distance. Among the nine Metro Vancouver casinos in this guide, it ranks third by that measure.
The doors are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year. Inside are 67 live table games and more than 1,300 slot machines. A live table game is one run by a real dealer, not a screen. There is also a poker room, open 24 hours daily.
Starlight, the casino in New Westminster, keeps the same round-the-clock hours. Its floor is smaller on paper: 54 live tables and more than 935 slots. The bigger gap is poker. Starlight's seven-table room runs 24 hours only on Friday and Saturday, while Grand Villa's runs 24 hours every day.
Before you walk through the door
- Nobody under the age of 19 is allowed inside. Security scans government-issued photo ID at the door, and the system saves nothing for guests let in.
- Poker is a card game where players sit against each other, with a dealer running each hand. The poker room here is open 24 hours daily.
- Food is on site. Personas Patio + Restaurant + Lounge is one of the restaurants.
- A hotel shares the property: the Delta Hotels Burnaby Conference Centre (Marriott).
- Encore Rewards is the free loyalty card, a membership card the casino offers its guests. Sign up at Guest Services with valid ID.
Getting there and getting home
Parking at Grand Villa is free, as it is at Starlight. A parkade leads to the front door, and there are outdoor lots too. The free shuttle service is temporarily unavailable, so do not count on it.
Plan the way home before you leave New Westminster. If you drink, do not drive: arrange a ride or a sober driver first.
