River Rock Casino Resort

Western Canada’s only AAA Four Diamond casino resort fronts the Fraser River in Richmond, British Columbia. A five-minute hop from Vancouver International Airport and a 20-minute ride from downtown Vancouver via SkyTrain, the 396-room River Rock Casino Resort welcomes groups with a Pacific Northwest rainforest theme, stunning views of the river and North Shore Mountains, and famously warm Canadian hospitality.

Set well apart from the casino’s excitement, the resort’s conference center provides a quiet retreat wrapped in a patio and riverfront terrace — the perfect spot to recharge with a coffee between sessions or end the day with a cocktail reception. Indoor spaces, including the Fraser and Thompson Rooms, are bright and airy, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the river, Vancouver, and mountains.
Visiting planners can also book the resort’s showroom, which easily transforms from an 8,000-square-foot trade show venue to a 1,000-seat auditorium, 450-seat theater, or banquet hall with room for a dance floor.

Attendees often come for a conference but want to stay for the fun, starting with the leisure incentives onsite. These begin with state-of-the-art gaming, an inviting indoor pool and waterslide, fitness center, and spa. Highlights of the nine food and beverage options include Sea Harbour, an award-winning Cantonese dining experience with exquisite dim sum and seafood in a sophisticated, contemporary setting.
