Behind the Doors / All eight doors

Edmonton's eight casinos, room by room

Checked October 8, 2026By the Threshold Desk

Eight casino doors run from downtown to the airport, 0.5 km to 25.9 km from Sir Winston Churchill Square in a straight line. Past each gaming floor, every one of them opens on something different.

What stands behind each door

Four doors open onto a stage with a published capacity. Behind the main entrance at River Cree Resort & Casino, The Venue holds up to 2,500, and every show there is 18+. Century Casino & Hotel Edmonton has a Showroom seating about 500 and a Yuk Yuk's room of about 200. At PURE Casino Yellowhead, the Pearl Showroom takes up to 500 standing. The Social at PURE Casino Edmonton hosts private events of up to 85 guests.

Three doors lead to a room for the night. River Cree has 249 rooms on site. Century Casino & Hotel Edmonton has a 26-room attached hotel, and Starlight Casino Edmonton reaches Fantasyland Hotel indoors through West Edmonton Mall.

Food is listed later than 11 pm at six of the eight. Grand Villa Casino Edmonton's kitchens close by 11 pm, and at Century Mile Racetrack & Casino only the Derby lounge runs later. That door opens instead on a full one-mile racetrack. Grand Villa connects indoors through Ford Hall and the downtown pedway to Rogers Place and MacEwan LRT station. Starlight sits inside West Edmonton Mall itself.

Where the doors stand

Grand Villa Casino Edmonton stands 0.5 km from Sir Winston Churchill Square, in a straight line. PURE Casino Edmonton follows at 5.1 km, Century Casino & Hotel Edmonton at 6.3 km and PURE Casino Yellowhead at 7.5 km. Starlight Casino Edmonton is 9.0 km out. To the north-west, Century Casino St. Albert sits at 11.5 km. River Cree Resort & Casino, on Enoch Cree Nation land to the west, is 14.2 km away.

Century Mile Racetrack & Casino stands 25.9 km south, at Edmonton International Airport. Its nearest neighbour among the eight is PURE Casino Edmonton, 23.3 km away. Three pairs stand close. Starlight and River Cree are 5.2 km apart, Grand Villa and PURE Casino Edmonton 5.6 km, and PURE Casino Yellowhead and Century Casino St. Albert 6.3 km. Every figure is a straight line between map points, not a road distance, and says nothing about travel time.
