Montreal, Canada
Montreal Casino & Hotel
The casino occupies the former French and Québec pavilions from Expo 67, on Île Notre-Dame in the St. Lawrence. The building itself is the draw: angular, glassy, and visible from across the river.
Visitors come for the architecture, the restaurants and the shows as much as the gaming floor. Overnight stays are arranged through hotels in the city, which sits a short drive or metro-and-shuttle ride away. Parc Jean-Drapeau surrounds the site with walking paths and water views.
