Entry 02 · The Kitchen
Buffets, prime rib and the family table
The Kitchen is the room for a group: full service, take-out, a kids' menu and a show-night menu, and two buffet nights, Friday and Saturday from 4 to 10 pm, when it closes between 2 and 4 to switch over (The Kitchen). The menus listed include a Surf & Turf Buffet and a Prime Rib Buffet. Note the odd hours: on Fridays the all-day menu stops at 2 pm, and on Sundays it starts at 4 pm. Call 780-930-2679 for groups.
Entry 03 · Tap 25
Breakfast at five, and hockey on the screens
Tap 25 opens its kitchen at 5 am, which makes it the earliest proper breakfast in the building, and the resort describes it as having "live hockey from our Twin Rinks". It's walk-in only, no reservations. The bar runs 9 am to 2 am and the house rule is that drinks are finished by 3 (Tap 25). If you're driving out the next morning, it's the obvious place to fuel up.
Entry 04 · Late and quick
Fatburger, Cree Subs, River Cree Eats
The late-night counters are why a 1 am arrival here isn't a problem. Fatburger cooks to order until 4 am; the resort says its burgers use fresh, never-frozen Alberta Angus beef. Cree Subs stays open until 5 am with sandwiches, hot dogs and a "taco in a bag". River Cree Eats sells meals to go on show nights and from Thursday to Sunday. With the microwave and mini fridge in every room, a cooler-style supper in the room is easy.
Entry 05 · Drinks
Three bars, and who can sit at them
Centre Bar sits in the middle of the casino floor with a 360-degree counter; Onyx is a lounge inside Embers, the smoke-friendly area; both are 18+, open 10 am to 2 am. The Lobby Coffee Bar is the non-gaming option: fireplace, free Wi-Fi, Starbucks coffee. At shows in The Venue, the designated-driver program gives anyone wearing a green wristband free fountain pop or water all night. If you drink, don't drive: taxis pick up at the casino's front entrance.
