Ample parking space is one of the features Casino Dene lists. Once through the doors, guests find complimentary coffee out on the gaming floor.
Leaving is its own short stretch of the evening. By our calculation, the 21st of December holds 7 h 18 min of daylight, so a winter walk back comes well after dark. A security escort to the vehicle is available on request. Guests only need to ask before stepping outside.
A room across the lot
Directly across the casino parking lot stands Hotel Dene & Conference Centre, which has its own website, hoteldene.com. Rooms come in three types. A guest room has one king bed plus a sofa bed, or else two queen beds. The king suite adds a sofa bed, a separate living area, a fridge, a microwave and a walk-in shower.
King rooms have a work desk and high-speed internet, and queen rooms have Wi-Fi. Casino Dene lists accommodation discounts among its complimentary services.
Without a car
Casino Dene publishes no bus route, shuttle or taxi information. Anyone counting on a ride in or out should ask before building the evening around it. The casino answers at 780-594-7900, or toll-free at 1-888-594-7228. That call matters most for the trip home after a 2 am or 3 am closing.
