Other casinos in the area

Casino de Montréal
Absolutely world-class and the biggest casino in the city of Montréal. With about 20,000 players visiting the place per day, you might want to go for the hours with less visitors.

With a restaurant, multiple bars and live music shows there are numerous reasons to pay a visit to this casino whenever you’re around Mont-Tremblant.
