Starlight Casino, Seen From Surrey
This page looks at Starlight Casino New Westminster from a Surrey address. It covers how far it sits from each part of the city, what is on the floor, and what to sort out before you go.
How far Starlight is from Surrey
Starlight sits at 350 Gifford Street in Queensborough, New Westminster. From Surrey City Centre it is 7.8 km, number 2 of the nine Metro Vancouver casinos on this guide. Whalley is the closest Surrey town centre, at 8.1 km. Newton comes in at 10.2 km. From Cloverdale it is 18.9 km, and South Surrey is the far end at 20.3 km.
Those figures are straight lines on a map, not road distances. Your actual trip will be longer, and the guide does not guess by how much. If you live in Cloverdale, Elements on 60 Avenue is your own room. Starlight is the larger floor, with 54 live tables against 10 at Elements, plus a 7-table poker room where Elements has none. Starlight runs around the clock with free parking, while Elements hours are on that venue's own page.
Inside Starlight: floor, poker, food
Starlight is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year. The floor carries 54 live table games and more than 935 slot machines. Gateway Casinos & Entertainment operates it, and the phone number is 604-777-2946.
Poker has its own room off the main floor, with 7 tables. It runs Sunday to Thursday from 11AM until late, and 24 hours on Friday and Saturday. For horse racing, a racebook for off-track betting operates at MATCH Eatery & Public House.
Kirin Restaurant handles the Chinese food. Encore Rewards, the loyalty card, is free: sign up at Guest Services with valid ID. The guide does not list a hotel or theatre here, and has no change of owner to report.
Before you leave Surrey
