Marking its 10th anniversary, Grand Villa Burnaby has undergone $15 million in renovations with an expanded gaming floor and three new restaurants.
Renovations include new VIP and poker rooms, three new places to eat - Atlas Steak + Fish, Chow Lucky Noodle Bar and Villa Bistro – and a renovation of the hotel and conference centre adjacent to the casino.
“With a $15 million investment, we now offer an incomparable gaming experience featuring 1,200 slots, 64 table games, and 11 poker tables in our newly renovated property,” said Rowland England, vice-president of operations with Gateway Casinos & Entertainment. “This has given us an increased capacity allowing for greater visitation and with a total of nine dining options and restaurants, we are able to provide a more well-rounded and elevated experience to all of our guests.”
The casino was originally built in 2008 to the tune of $180 million.
The city of Burnaby received $10,876,457 in benefits from Grand Villa Casino in 2016-17, and $11,731,081 in 2017-2018. The casino has also donated $500,000 to local charities, including the Burnaby Hospice Society, Burnaby Firefighter Charitable Society and Rotary Coats for Kids.
Grand Villa Burnaby will have special promotions until Nov. 10 to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
