The Casino is open and has slot machines and Card tables. It is a smaller Casino, so its never too busy. Its close to the Horse Race Track, so if you get bored you can change the scene.

I recommend renting a bike and biking around the seawall for the 12km. You can also follow the seawall all around Vancouver. A great way to get some exercise and see Vancouver. We are a biking city! Amazing views. And the seawall has no cars.

Neighbourhoods

You are surrounded by mountains and water all within a 20 minute drive. Well worth the visit. Can hike "Quarry hill" which has an amazing view. You have to get a honey donut at Honey donuts - worth the calories - and each of the many calories.

The is a local "grind". It is basically a stairway all the way up a mountain. Once you do it, you can say "I did the grind". Lots of locals go for a workout. Lots of trees and only a view from the top where you can either pay $20 to take the gondola down... or walk back!!

The beer is delicious - my favorite is the stout milk beer. There is an indoor food truck - with good food. Big long tables, so you have to share. Excellent patio too.
