We know, whether you’re treating yourself to a staycation, a weekend getaway, or are in town for an event, there are plenty of options for where you lay your head. This article will help ensure you get the most out of your time away, by exploring the benefits of staying at a hotel casino.

START WITH THE RIGHT ROOM

River Cree’s hotel is home to 249 guest rooms, 11 of which are luxury suites. Every room is comfortable and tastefully decorated. They also come standard with high-speed internet, cable tv with per-per-view access, a coffee maker, mini fridge, and microwave. Order some room service and it might be tempting to never leave the room…. But keep reading, because we’re still going to tempt you.

EXPLORE THE AMAZING RESTAURANTS

From Fatburger, and Cha Xpress, to the Onyx Lounge and Tap 25 Sports Bar, you’ll definitely find something you love.

  • THE PATIO is open, but you might want to make a reservation. Many Edmontonians like to pop by; either for a delicious meal or even just a drink with some garlic prawns. They’re pan fried, with chorizo, and Italian salsa verde. Make your reservation quickly, the patio closes for the season on August 29.
  • ITALIA is known for traditional Italian dishes (for adults only). I recommend you start with the Antipasti Board for two. It’s a charcuterie worthy of posting on your socials.

The Seafood Linguini is full of shrimp, salmon, squid, clams, and mussels.

  • THE KITCHEN is a great place to start the next day. The traditional eggs benedict is a rich and savory dish. I also enjoy the Great Canadian Breakfast which is two eggs, breakfast potatoes, bacon, sausage or ham. Some days though, you just have to order a nice tall stack of buttermilk pancakes, smothered in whipped butter, maple syrup and some sliced berries.

STOP BY THE CASINO FOR A GAME OR TWO
