The Casino de Charlevoix is a Loto-Québec entertainment resort in La Malbaie, at 183 rue Richelieu, and Tourisme Charlevoix says it is open all year. Guests must be 18 or older. The casino describes a wide variety of games, and the complex has restaurants, lively bars and food service on site, with live shows among the entertainment. Tourisme Charlevoix says the complex includes the Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu, and the hotel's own site says the casino is right next door, so the two make a natural pair for an evening out. Hours, dress code and parking were not given on the page, so check the casino's website or call 418 665-5300 before you go. Because it is open in every season, it is one of the few indoor options in La Malbaie in winter and a reliable evening plan when the outdoor sights are closed.
What to do
Go for dinner and a show, or for the games if you enjoy them. The casino is an adults-only venue, with the minimum age of 18, so it is not a family stop. Several hotels sit close by, including Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu next door and the Petit Manoir du Casino, which describes itself as just steps from the casino.
Seasons and planning
The casino is open all year, so early November is no problem, and the fall and winter shoulder season is when many other Charlevoix sights are closed. Hours were not published on the page, so check before you set out, and ask about live shows and dining on the night you plan to go. Set a budget before you go and treat any gambling as entertainment, not income.
Fitting it in
It fits an evening after a day on the coast road, a whale-watching trip in season or a ski day in winter. Pair it with the Hautes-Gorges park by day and a night at the Petit Manoir du Casino or the Fairmont.
