Grand Villa Casino Burnaby, from Surrey
This page looks at Grand Villa Casino Burnaby from a Surrey point of view. It covers how far the room sits from each part of the city, what is on the floor, and what to sort out before you leave. Distances here are straight lines on a map, not road kilometres.
How far Grand Villa sits from Surrey
Grand Villa is in Burnaby, at 4331 Dominion St. From Whalley, the closest Surrey town centre, it is 13.8 km in a straight line. Guildford is 16.8 km away and Newton 18.3 km. From South Surrey the line stretches to 28.7 km. These are lines drawn on a map, not road distances, so expect the road to run longer.
Measured from Surrey City Centre, it is 13.6 km away, number 4 of the nine Metro Vancouver casinos on this guide. Elements, Surrey's own room at 17755 60 Ave in Cloverdale, is on your side of the city. The real difference is scale. Grand Villa runs 67 live tables against 10 at Elements, plus a poker room open 24 hours daily. Elements has no poker room, and Grand Villa also has a hotel on site.
Inside the Burnaby room
Grand Villa never closes: its doors stay open 365 days of the year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. The poker room keeps a 24-hour schedule daily as well. More than 1,300 slot machines share the floor with 67 live table games. The guide does not list how many poker tables there are.
For a night away, the Delta Hotels Burnaby Conference Centre (Marriott) is right on site. Restaurants include Personas Patio + Restaurant + Lounge. The guide does not list a theatre here.
Encore Rewards, the loyalty card, is free. Joining happens at Guest Services, and you need valid ID. Gateway Casinos & Entertainment operates the room, and the guide lists no change of owner. Wheelchairs, accessible formats and communication supports are available on request.
Before you leave Surrey
- Check the hours on Grand Villa's own page before you set off. The published schedule is 24/7, but a quick look costs nothing.
- Be 19 or older, and carry government-issued photo ID. Security scans it at the door and checks it against the list of restricted people, such as those in Game Break. For people let in, the system does not save personal information.
- You won't pay to park: there are outdoor lots, plus a parkade that takes you to the front door. The free shuttle is temporarily out of service, so work out your own way there.
- Decide who drives home before the first hand is dealt. From South Surrey that is 28.7 km in a straight line, and more by road. If gambling stops feeling like fun, Gambling Support BC is free, 24/7, at 1-888-795-6111.
