This two storey, 80,000 square foot Roman-themed casino is able to host 890 gamblers at a time in a main floor entertainment centre that includes bar and eating areas and a 200-seat live entertainment room. Located on the bank of the beautiful Elbow River, the casino is only minutes from the downtown core and major attractions. Just across the street from Stampede Park, Elbow River Casino is close to an international airport, the major Calgary attractions and the Rocky Mountains. Free underground parking is available.

Cheaper options include the Fairmont Palliser and the Hotel Arts.
