Parq Casino, Seen From Surrey
This page looks at Parq Casino in Vancouver from wherever you live in Surrey. It covers how far each town centre sits from the room, what is on the floor, what parking costs and what to bring to the door.
All distances here are straight lines on a map.
How Far Parq Sits From Surrey
Parq sits at 39 Smithe Street in Vancouver. Of the nine Metro Vancouver casinos on this guide, it is the farthest from Surrey City Centre, at 21.4 km. Whalley is the closest Surrey town centre, 21.6 km away. Guildford comes in at 24.7 km, and South Surrey sits out at 35.3 km.
These are straight lines on a map, not road distances, so your actual trip runs longer. Elements Casino, Surrey's own room, is in Cloverdale, which is 33.9 km from Parq as the crow flies. What Parq offers for the extra distance: a casino open 24/7, a poker room open 24/7, two hotels and two SkyTrain stations within about 850 m. Parking is paid, pay-by-plate, unless you hold an Encore Rewards card with at least 15 points.
Inside the Room at Parq
Turn up at any hour, because Parq's casino runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Slots, roulette, blackjack and baccarat share the floor with electronic touch machines and Stadium Gaming. You won't find slot or table numbers here, since Parq does not make those counts public. Elements, by comparison, has more than 500 slots and electronic table games and 10 live tables.
Poker sets the two rooms apart. Parq runs a poker room on Level 3, open around the clock, though it does not say how many tables it has. Back in Cloverdale, Elements has none to compare.
Beyond the floor, Parq has two hotels, the JW Marriott and The Douglas. For food or drink, the list runs from Honey Salt and The Victor to D/6 Lounge, KOI Noodle Bar and more. Encore Rewards is the loyalty card, and sign-up happens at Guest Services on Level 2.
Before You Leave Surrey
- Check Parq's own page before you set out, even for a room that lists 24/7 hours.
- Entry starts at 19, and government-issued photo ID comes with you. Every guest shows it at the door, whatever their age, and security scans it against the restricted list.
- Self-parking is pay-by-plate, from $5 an hour before 5PM to $55 for 24 hours, and $25 to $35 on event days. By SkyTrain, Yaletown-Roundhouse Station is 800 m away, and Stadium-Chinatown Station 850 m.
- Before any cards come out, settle who is driving home. Parq has two hotels if staying over suits you better.
