Elbow River Casino is Calgary’s number one entertainment destination, featuring Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Club, a 24-hour poker room, table gaming, slot machines, and Off Track Betting. Sammy’s Sports Bar provides the latest sports action, with hot slots open until 4am on Fridays and Saturdays. The location is super central and convenient, with an underground parkade noted for good security. Opinions on the food are mixed. Some find the food options great, delicious, and cooked perfectly, with praise for the fantastic and consistent Asian menu. Many note the food is pocket-friendly and holds up well in both taste and price. However, others feel the food and buffet are way overpriced for what you get, stating it doesn't compare to other casino buffets. The poker room is described as fun with knowledgeable, familiar staff, though some regular players can seem unwelcoming to newcomers. The casino is considered a solid spot overall, offering a variety of gaming and entertainment in a convenient location.

Decent food. Great place for lunch. Stayed for 3 hours with a couple of work associates and didn't get thrown out for overstaying our welcome. I'll take that as a win.
