Club Regent Casino is a casino located in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is one of two casinos in the city (the other being the McPhillips Street Station Casino), both are owned and operated by the Manitoba Lotteries Corporation, and in turn, the Government of Manitoba. The casino opened in 1993, after an assessment regarding the distribution of gambling revenue, was released. Connected to the casino is the Canad Inns Club Regent Hotel.
The casino and hotel are located in the Winnipeg neighborhood of Transcona on Regent Avenue, and is 15 km (25 minute drive) from the Winnipeg International Airport. The casino contains a McDonald's restaurant, as well as a concert stage, on which regular comedy, and musical performances are scheduled. The casino claims its decorative style is Caribbean, but some of the interior decorations would be more accurately attributed to Aztec, Mayan, or other Mesoamerican locations. The exterior of the building is surrounded in artificial palm trees.
Famous quotes containing the word club:
“Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a man’s. It is in the boys’ gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
