Where it is
Starlight Casino New Westminster is a casino at 350 Gifford Street, New Westminster. Gateway Casinos & Entertainment runs it. The phone number is 604-777-2946.
None of the distances here follow roads: the guide computed each one as a direct line between two sets of map coordinates. Measured that way, the casino sits 90 km from Victoria and 265 km from Kelowna. Readers heading on to the Island or up the coast can note the two ferry terminals. As the crow flies, Tsawwassen lies 23.5 km off, and Horseshoe Bay 30.8 km.
