2 casino hotels in our guide
River Cree Resort & Casino
Sitting on Enoch Cree Nation land on Edmonton's west side, River Cree combines a 249-room hotel, one of Alberta's largest casinos, the country's first Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen, a pair of NHL-size rinks and a free West Edmonton Mall shuttle. An 18-storey tower is going up.
Grey Eagle Resort & Casino
Tsuut'ina Nation owns and runs Grey Eagle, on the south-west fringe of Calgary; the 178-room hotel opened in 2014. West-facing rooms can see the Rockies, the 2,500-seat Event Centre books serious acts, and Little Chief is one of Western Canada's better casino restaurants. The pool stays closed during renovation work that runs into 2027.
