From Toronto, the trip gets you a smaller casino with a hotel on an island. Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto, at Woodbine, is the casino inside the city, 18.9 km from City Hall. It shows 164 table games and has a 400-room hotel. Holiday hours, for the buffet or anything else, should be checked on the venue's own site.
Getting there
