Casino de Montreal is a city landmark: one of the largest casinos in the country, housed in the striking former French pavilion from Expo 67 on Ile Notre-Dame, minutes from downtown. It has no hotel on the island, so this is a play-in-the-city, stay-downtown night rather than a stay-and-play under one roof.
The Casino de Montreal floor is huge and spread over several levels of a dramatic glass pavilion — thousands of slots, a deep spread of table games, electronic gaming and high-limit areas. It is one of the country's biggest and most distinctive city floors, and the building itself is part of the draw.
There is no hotel on Ile Notre-Dame, so plan to stay downtown and cross to the island — a short taxi or drive across the bridges, minutes away. Central Montreal has stays at every level, from grand hotels to boutique rooms in the Old Port and downtown, which lets you match the night to your budget and pick a base with the city on the doorstep.
The casino itself carries several restaurants, from fine dining to a buffet, and the island's Parc Jean-Drapeau surrounds it with green space and river views. Downtown Montreal's restaurants, bars and nightlife are minutes back across the water.
The floor sits on Ile Notre-Dame, minutes from downtown but firmly its own place. Because you are booking a city hotel separately, value comes down to your choice of stay — and Montreal offers plenty, at prices to suit most trips.
