Club Regent Casino Hotel: the Maple verdict

3.35 / 5C+

No. 11 of 12 in our 2026 ranking (outside the top ten)
Plain keys next to a 1,300-seat stage in east Winnipeg

Winnipeg's practical option: 146 non-smoking Canad Inns keys joined to a casino with about 1,200 machines and a bingo hall, next to an event centre for 1,300. Useful rather than glamorous.

Book it forone Winnipeg night beside the machines, the bingo hall and the Event Centre.
Look elsewhere ifyou are after resort trimmings — keys are modest and no pool is listed.

What you get

Canad Inns gives it a long formal title (Destination Centre Club Regent Casino Hotel), and the casino beside it is one of the pair Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries operates as Casinos of Winnipeg. 146 non-smoking keys over six floors, which an AAA inspector called "modest"; the desk agrees. Types: Two Queen, One Queen, One King, One-Bedroom King Suite.

The floor and stage

Around 1,200 machines, counting progressives and electronic table games; a bingo hall; and live tables every day from 17:30 until 03:00.. Manitoba plays at 18. Since 2014 a 1,300-seat hall, the Club Regent Event Centre, has hosted concerts and comedy. VLTs live in the hotel's Playmaker's Gaming Lounge, 09:00 to midnight.

Kitchens

Aaltos: themed dinner buffets Thursday–Sunday 17:00–20:00 (turkey, roast beef, surf and turf, ribs and chicken) and a 10:00–14:00 Sunday brunch. Toukies is the casino lounge. Fast food? There is a McDonald's, and ice cream.

Practical

The casino parkade costs nothing. Airport ≈ 15 km / 25 minutes. AAA gives 16:00 check-in, 11:00 checkout and no pets. The Stay & Play rate is worth requesting — each Club Card holder gets C$15 to play with.

Desk verdict

Right for an Event Centre gig or a night of gaming; wrong for a resort break — hence its place outside our ten.
