New changes are in the cards for Coquitlam's casino.
In December, Hard Rock Casino Vancouver will be rebranded into Great Canadian Casino Vancouver, according to a news release.
Great Canadian Entertainment unveiled the casino's rebranding today, Oct. 19. The news comes on the heels of another "successful transformation" in the east: the former Casino Woodbine into Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto, it said.
Founded in 1982, Great Canadian Entertainment boasts a robust portfolio across Canada — including entertainment centres locally in B.C., Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
The new "rebranded" casino is slated to be one of the company's flagship properties — with the highly anticipated Gordon Ramsay Burger opening this winter.
The restaurant, curated by the Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsay himself, will offer a casual dining experience with a touch of Chef Ramsay's signature flair.
In addition to the anticipated restaurant, the revamped casino will also offer a diverse selection of games — classic table games, latest cutting-edge slots, private gaming rooms for the enthusiasts — live entertainment and more.
"As we embark on this exciting transformation to Great Canadian Casino Vancouver, we are entering a new era of excitement and entertainment," said Matthew Anfinson, CEO of Great Canadian Entertainment, in a statement.
"Our partnerships with Chef Gordon Ramsay and Live Nation Canada promise to bring an unparalleled level of culinary excellence and world-class entertainment to our valued guests. We believe that this transition represents not only a change in name but a significant opportunity to enhance the overall experience."
The casino previously rebranded from Boulevard Casino into Hard Rock Casino Vancouver in 2013.
