Great Canadian Entertainment's ambitious move: Launching a multi-million Vegas-Themed Resort.

In West Toronto, anticipate a high-budget resort with vibrant Vegas-style gaming. Great Canadian Entertainment is keen to introduce the nation’s largest casino venture yet: the Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto.

The ambitious project, featuring cutting-edge facilities like a casino, hotel, entertainment complex, and eateries, stands at CAD 1 billion (USD 724.9 million). An opening day is awaited.

GCE describes the resort: a modern Vegas-chic casino, 400 hotel rooms, and a 5,000 seat show venue. Dine at numerous outlets in Toronto’s new entertainment hub. Meanwhile, Casino Woodbine remains active.

Matthew Anfinson, GCE's CEO, expressed enthusiasm about providing an unparalleled, top-tier experience in Canada, blending gaming, entertainment, dining, and lodging.

The official highlighted that further details on this landmark are on the horizon. Anfinson also hinted at an imminent opening date announcement, keeping prospects high for this major endeavor.

Great Canadian Entertainment, a significant name in casino and entertainment, operates widely across British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Ontario.

Days post announcement by GCE, MSIFN labeled the corporation disrespectful, accusing them and OLG of ignoring MSIFN's interests amid ongoing discussions.

Since 2016, MSIFN has held an agreement with the provincial authority as modernization progresses, owning the Great Blue Heron Casino in Port Perry.

MSIFN Chief Kelly LaRocca criticized the government for acting without MSIFN's consultation, as this hinders Great Blue Heron Casino's potential.

LaRocca termed it a flagrant disrespect towards MSIFN and the Crown’s Honor, promising continued negotiations and bracing for the future.
