Leaving is its own short stretch of the evening. By our calculation, the 21st of December holds 7 h 18 min of daylight, so a winter walk back comes well after dark. A security escort to the vehicle is available on request. Guests only need to ask before stepping outside.
A room across the lot
Directly across the casino parking lot stands Hotel Dene & Conference Centre, which has its own website, hoteldene.com. Rooms come in three types. A guest room has one king bed plus a sofa bed, or else two queen beds. The king suite adds a sofa bed, a separate living area, a fridge, a microwave and a walk-in shower.
King rooms have a work desk and high-speed internet, and queen rooms have Wi-Fi. Casino Dene lists accommodation discounts among its complimentary services.
Without a car
Casino Dene publishes no bus route, shuttle or taxi information. Anyone counting on a ride in or out should ask before building the evening around it. The casino answers at 780-594-7900, or toll-free at 1-888-594-7228. That call matters most for the trip home after a 2 am or 3 am closing.
