After more than a decade of negotiations, public consultations and research, Parq Vancouver casino resort opens to the public for the first time tonight, Sept. 29, at 11 p.m., when a ceremonial dice roll will take place in the casino.

The property, the largest private development in the province, features two luxury hotels with more than 517 rooms, eight restaurants and lounges, a 30,000-square-foot park and a casino that features 600 slot machines, 74 table games, poker rooms and 11 VIP salons designed for private gaming.

Prior to the grand opening, the Courier had a sneak peek of the property, but photos weren't available until today, Sept. 29. Here's a snapshot of Parq in photos.
