Parq Casino and the Edgewater before it

Paragon Gaming developed Parq with Dundee Corporation and PBC Group, through the joint venture Parq Holdings Limited. February 2019: Paragon sold its stake in Parq Holdings to PBC Group. After that, the paper trail goes quiet. Parq Casino's own site names no current owner, and the guide found no dated ownership change after 2019 when it checked.

On a site beside BC Place, Parq Casino stands at 39 Smithe Street, Vancouver. The casino runs round the clock, all week, and the Level 3 poker room follows the same 24/7 schedule. Hours are local Pacific time.

Slots, baccarat, blackjack and roulette share the gaming floor with electronic touch machines. Parq does not state how many poker tables its room holds.

Holiday hours are left out here; look for them on the venue's website. Any open-now status follows the published hours, not holidays or temporary changes.

Everyone shows ID on entry, regardless of age, as at every BC gambling facility since June 2023. There is no specific dress code. In a straight line, the nearest bus stop is Northbound Smithe St @ Expo Blvd (routes 17, N15), 119 m away. Stadium-Chinatown Station, the nearest on SkyTrain, is 506 m by the same measure.

Two hotels stand at Parq, the JW Marriott and The Douglas, along with pay-by-plate self-parking open round the clock. On non-event days, parking is $5 an hour until 5 PM, with a daily cap of $20 from 5 AM to 5 PM. From 5 PM to midnight one flat rate applies: $20 Sunday to Thursday, $25 Friday and Saturday. Parking costs nothing for Encore Rewards members holding 15 or more earned points.
