Great Canadian Casino Vancouver (formerly Hard Rock Casino & Boulevard Casino) in Coquitlam, British Columbia is the largest casino in the province of British Columbia by gaming space. The casino is open 24 hours a day and is owned by Great Canadian Entertainment.

Contents

According to their 2006–07 annual report, Boulevard Casino was the third most profitable gaming venue in B.C., earning over $158 million, an increase of $28.9 million from the previous year, attributed to the new show theatre hosting up to 5,000 guests on show nights. [1]

The funding agreement with the province means the casino must give 10% of its net take to the city of Coquitlam. In 2010, Coquitlam received $8.2 million, [2] which the city used for a community group fund and major capital projects, including the Chimo Aquatic and Fitness Centre (2008), Percy Perry Stadium renovation (2009), Coquitlam Sports Centre renovation (2010), and the new Coquitlam Public Library (2011).

The casino re-branded itself as Hard Rock Casino Vancouver on December 20, 2013, following an agreement with the Seminole Tribe of Florida, the legal franchisor and owner of the Hard Rock Cafe. [3] In December 2023, it was rebranded again to Great Canadian Casino Vancouver.

Amenities

As part of the 2006 expansion, the new 1,074-seat The Molson Canadian Theatre was opened on-site.
