Yes, Toronto, you can have a big night out without going far!
The Pickering Casino Resort is changing the way we think of vacations, with premium gaming, dining, hotel stays, and destination-level entertainment right here in the GTA. After all, you don’t have to be in Vegas to play Vegas-style.
Here are five reasons to consider the Pickering Casino Resort for your next weekend getaway.
Games upon games
What’s that sound? Just the siren song of the thousands of slot machines lining the Pickering Casino Resort. The huge assortment of popular slots features new themes as well as the classics, and with one-cent to $100 denominations, you can play as big or as modestly as you like.
Plus, more than 90 live tables mean getting more out of every hand. From roulette to blackjack and everything in between, you’ll find loads of gaming options to keep you entertained. And since the casino is open 24/7, the entertainment literally never stops.
Live entertainment
Entertainment at Pickering Casino Resort goes beyond the games. A 2,500-seat theatre hosts all sorts of concerts and live shows, with no bad views in the house.
Upcoming names to round out the year include Nate Smith on Nov. 13 and Nov. 14, Honeymoon Suite on Nov. 21, Dallas Smith + Hits Band on Dec. 5, and Larry the Cable Guy on Feb. 27 in 2026.
Fill your plate
Raise your hand if one of your favourite parts of vacations is dining. There’s no shortage of fantastic and diverse food and drink options onsite at the Pickering Casino Resort.
We’re talking fine dining at Copperhorn Meet House, a gastropub experience at Casual, Chinese food at Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant, a day-long menu at Rock House Grill, fresh pizza at Zio’s, poke bowls at M Cha Bar, and more. Plus, all restaurants accept comp dollars — you know, for when all that fun works up an appetite.
Luxury accommodations
Why don’t you stay awhile? A 275-room hotel offers luxury accommodations overlooking the new Porsche Experience Centre. Not only is it pet-friendly, but the hotel also has a swimming pool that’s fun for the whole family.
And with the holiday season around the corner, the Pickering Casino Resort is upping the ante with Holiday Executive Suites from Nov. 21 through Jan. 4, 2026. Each suite will be decorated with a Christmas Tree and festive decor, and will include holiday-themed games, books, and hot chocolate.
