Four Canadian resorts on islands, rivers, falls and lakes, with the casino as one part.
Montreal, Canada
Two Expo 67 pavilions on Île Notre-Dame were joined to make this building, one of the most unusual casino venues in North America.
Restaurants, bars and a cabaret stage share the building, and Parc Jean-Drapeau's trails surround it.
On Île Notre-Dame, a short metro ride from downtown Montreal.
Niagara Falls, Canada
The Fallsview tower has stood on the ridge above the Horseshoe Falls since 2004.
Spa treatments, dining and a large theatre round off days spent at the falls.
On the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, a few minutes' walk from the brink.
Richmond, Canada
River Rock sits beside the Fraser River in Richmond, minutes from Vancouver International Airport.
There are suites, a pool, a marina and a theatre for touring shows.
At Bridgeport station on the Canada Line, two stops from the airport.
Rama, Canada
North of Toronto on Rama First Nation land, the resort overlooks the lake country around Lake Couchiching.
Concerts, spa treatments and restaurants draw weekend visitors from across Ontario.
Off Highway 12 near Orillia.
