The Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto officially opens
It’s official grand opening of the Great Canadian Casino Resort, and here to kick off this weekend’s festivities are two massive acts. Three time Grammy Award winner Gwen Stefani will be performing Friday and country singer Blake Shelton will be performing Saturday at the Casinos brand new theater. These acts have not been here in a very, very long time, especially not back-to-back. This is the first time ever that Gwen and Blake have done back-to-back concerts. Casino staff gave us a behind the scenes look at the new 5000 seat theater. In this current setup we have a total of 4200 seats. The theater is flexible and can be configured a number of ways. We are standing in one of our brand new exclusive VIP suites here at the theater. Each suite, with his four of them, seats 40 people. We have a private bar for this weekend. We have dedicated restrooms and dedicated entrances and one of the best vantage points. I think I’ve stood in every single location of the theater. Every single one has a full view of the stage. There’s no obstructed seats. The VIP suites are not in the way among the theaters in the Toronto area. This is a a fantastically intimate experience. Though this is the official grand opening. The casino had a soft launch in June 2023. Some of its features include a gaming space, a hotel, indoor pool. Fitness area and dining options. The resort says it employs 2000 people. Great Canadian Casino Resort will have a significant economic impact in Toronto. We’re very proud of what we’re will be bringing to the city over the next number of years.
