Off Highway 97
Lake City Casino Vernon is at 4900 Anderson Way, Vernon, off Highway 97. It is a casino, and Gateway Casinos & Entertainment runs it. Gateway bought the Lake City Casinos in Penticton, Kelowna, Kamloops and Vernon in August 2002. In 2009 the Vernon casino moved into its current 30,000 sq ft building on Anderson Way, three times the size of the old casino.
