One of the biggest reasons we enjoy staying at the River Rock Casino Resort is its unbeatable location. The resort is directly connected to the Canada Line SkyTrain, making it easy to travel between Vancouver International Airport (YVR), downtown Vancouver, and the Vancouver cruise terminal without needing a car. Waterfront Station is only about a 20 to 25-minute SkyTrain ride, making this an excellent choice before or after an Alaska cruise. Guests also enjoy complimentary self-parking during their stay.

Beyond the comfortable accommodations, there’s plenty to enjoy without ever leaving the resort. Try your luck in the casino, relax in the indoor pool featuring a waterslide and hot tub, work out in the fitness centre, or enjoy a meal at Gordon Ramsay Steak. You’ll also find a Starbucks and several additional dining options onsite. Nearby attractions include McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Vancouver Airport, the Richmond Night Market, Costco, and many other shops and restaurants, making the River Rock an excellent home base for exploring the Vancouver area. โœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿš†

During a previous stay at the River Rock Casino Resort, we also had the opportunity to dine at Gordon Ramsay Steak and explore more of the resort before embarking on an Alaska cruise. If you’d like to see more of the property and our dining experience, check out our previous River Rock posts.
