Hastings Casino up close
Hastings Casino sits at the old racecourse, and the picture here shows the turn of its dirt track. The floor is slots only, the nearest buses stop about 425 to 476 m away, and parking terms are not published.
The marks on this picture of Hastings state facts about arriving, placed by hand on the place in the frame. They do not show the exact position of a door.
Getting to Hastings
Hastings Casino stands at Hastings Racecourse, at 188 N Renfrew St in Vancouver. The postal code is V5K 3N8. The racecourse dates from 1889. Great Canadian Entertainment ended live thoroughbred racing there on December 5, 2025.
Drivers have little to go on. Hastings does not publish parking terms on its page, so Up Close gives no price and no rules.
Two bus stops are nearest. The closer one is on McGill St at N Renfrew St, eastbound, about 425 m away and served by routes 209, 210, 211 and 214. The other is on Eton St at N Renfrew St, about 476 m away, served by route 4. Both distances are straight lines, not walking routes. No SkyTrain station is within 1.5 km.
Through the door
From Sunday through Thursday, Hastings Casino opens 11 AM to 12 AM; Friday and Saturday bring 11 AM to 2 AM. For holidays, confirm the hours with the venue's own site. Visitors need to be 19+ and show government-issued photo ID to get in.
The floor is slots only. No table games or poker room appear in the listings, and the card used is Encore Rewards. Racing has ended, but Hastings still publishes a monthly simulcast schedule. Off the Racebook is Jerome's, a casual restaurant. Steps from the gaming floor, an indoor lounge holds a stage and a full-service bar.
On October 7, 2026, Great Canadian Entertainment remained the operator. Under a definitive agreement dated November 7, 2025, the casino part goes to the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, pending regulators and the City of Vancouver.
